We were introduced to this through our first dog's trainer during obedience work. It's marketed as a complete air-dried food, not a treat, but the second we saw how hard our dog worked for a single piece of this, we knew it had earned a promotion to high value treat status in our house. Turns out we're not the only ones doing this. We read reviews on it prior to purchasing. It's air-dried food that's technically meant to be a full meal or topper ends up getting repurposed by owners as a premium training reward because the smell and taste get such a strong reaction out of dogs. We also saw how many people said that their dog goes wild for this, some even comparing the excitement level to a genuine addiction. The formula itself checks out too. Ziwi Peak uses a high percentage of real meat, organs, and bone with minimal fillers, which likely explains why the smell alone is enough to get most dogs fully locked in. The price is the one real catch, and it's a steep one. This is consistently one of the pricier options out there. But since we only use it sparingly as a jackpot reward rather than a daily food, the cost has never been a dealbreaker for us. Bottom line: Overkill and pricey if you're trying to use it as an everyday food or treat, but it's an excellent high value reward for training sessions or moments when you need serious focus from your dog. A little goes a long way.
