Ziwi Peak Daily Dog Cuisine Mackerel and Lamb Pouches, 1 kg

I have a 8 year old German shepherd with allergies to the majority of meats, the only meat he can have is lamb or duck but trying to find food without other animal derivatives in is an utter nightmare to say the least! Usually you'll find in small print there's chicken, turkey, pork or beef derivatives in most foods and treats, i end up buying him vegetarian treats just to be on the safe side. I usually buy him a lamb joint or a duck and cook it for him, I use all the juices and add water & oil then blend it to a paste I then mix a few spoonfuls with his mixer & make sure I coat all of the pieces otherwise he doesn't eat it 😡 At times it can be a real pain in the butt and it's really time consuming too, the other issue is his diet isn't that varied which then leads to boredom of eating the same thing over and over although sometimes I do put herbs in his food for extra taste. He went into the kennels for 3 weeks as my husband and I went on holiday, Boris hardly eats when we're away he tends to go on a hunger strike, this time he was in longer than usual and had lost quite a considerable amount of weight it was shocking so I needed something to build him up quick. I must admit I wasn't sure about getting this food as Boris is quite fussy but I needn't have worried as soon as the bag was delivered he was all over it like a rash, he's got his enthusiasm back for his food and his weight is back to what it was before, plus a few extra pounds 😃👍 his coat is in wonderful condition now he's got the sparkle back in his eyes and his nose is nice and wet he looks so healthy and is most certainly happier. I've just ordered my second bag but I've got the largest bag you can get this time as I've got a feeling I'm going to need it. Seriously if your thinking of giving it a try you won't be disappointed, buy a small bag first like I did but I feel 100% confident you're dogs going to love it, it's worth every penny and I've seen a huge difference in my dog in such a short period of time proving that it's excellent quality, very highly recommended by me and Boris.Update: One thing I forgot mention was Boris's tail was bald part due to allergies and part to stress however as you can see from the photo it's now growing back wonderfully, we're so pleased as all of his coat was thinning out and we were concerned his whole body would end up bald but thankfully his coat has really thickened out too. We're thrilled with the results.

Very, very high single-source meat protein with nothing at all unnecessary added. It is expensive and it takes effort to convince your dog that it is, indeed, worthwhile. Our dog wouldn’t touch it for several days (made us feel awful), however he eventually ate some, then a little more and now it is mainstay. He developed a dreadful yeast infection some years ago and the Vet suggested ‘medication and costly shampoos for life’. We suspected food may have contributed to the severity of the infection ( not caused it but certainly exacerbated it). He was, at that time, eating a very high quality dry food with extremely impressive ingredients. But we knew something in the ingredients was a potential cause. We searched to find a food with single protein sauce and very little else. It is surprisingly difficult to find such a food. Most of the foods marketed as such were usually full of potatoes or rice or lots of vegetables and fruits - which sounded very healthy - but not what was needed. We did not want chicken- based protein as even chicken is a potential risk for yeast infections. We found ziwi peak venison - it was worrryingly expensive, I must admit. However the infection has improved immensely and his arthritis seems to be steadier than it was ( again all we got from the vet was a ‘pills for life’ assessment for his arthritis. This food is probably may not appeal to all - especially the cost - but it has been an absolute godsend for us!

The best alternative to raw on the market.

Use these to supplement my raw fed dog as training treats when I need to take some out on a walk etc.No nasty ingredients, and bonus to include natural "super foods" like green lipped mussels for joint support.Star taken away for cost (but acceptable as treats, rather than main meal), and also the bottom of the bag can contain quite a lot of crumbs, which probably wouldn't matter so much in a bowl, but no so good for training. You can use the crumbs/powder with a bit of liquid to fill kongs or spread over lickimats, so not a complete waste.Unfortunately as of early 2024, they're completely out of stock due to some natural disaster impacting their production back in NZ, but hopefully will be back on the shelves soon.

Expensive but our Chinook 2 year old male loves this dried, pressed raw food feed.

I can't get any flavour of this or the ziwipeak wet food in Northern Ireland, so am forced to buy online.It's the second best dog food if notthe best apart from raw I've used.its expensive, yes,but the best is what I want for my two dogs.I think this is it.Just wish I could source it locally. My dogs love all the diff proteins in it,lamb,beef,mackerel &lamb,chicken,venison.Same with the wet tinned version. I reccomend highly.update..... Just got another delivery ,numerous times, but this is the third I've got that was nothing but crushed crumbs. Not impressed!! Not one bit, this stuff is Not cheap.UPDATE:::::: Bought thus and other flavours numerous times ,if it arrives in a box it's all good, if it's in a brown amazon bag,as today's was again,it's mushed up into dust. I did not pay for dust!!! Not happy, I've let this go too many times. Will be looking into it further.

Edited to add ... this product is now way overpriced and I no longer use because of this ... so I'm dropping the rating .... the food is exceptional quality but is no longer viable to use. It was always expensive but at £23 pkg was OK but now £36+ pkg Not good value for money any more !!I work as a Dog Trainer/Behaviourist - this food is simply the best - They are the most nutritional and the fact that one square can be broken easily into about 9 smaller bits means that it is perfect for using as treats and the dogs just love it - I have tested by laying differing treats out on the floor - my dogs always go and get the Ziwi Peak.
