Peak Canned Wet Cat Food, Lamb, 12 x 6.5 oz

My cats go nuts for this

I bought this because my two year old cat started having urinary issues, even after switching to the prescription cat food my vet put him on (first he had crystals in his urine, then bladder inflammation resulting in a mucus plug blocking his urine. Ugh). I considered putting him on a raw diet, but was a little freaked about the salmonella recalls raw food companies seem to frequent. I did tons of research and found Ziwi, and it really seems to be the best out there. The ingredients are unbeatable. And though I haven't seen any bone chunks, YES, there's bone it. Cats eat bones in the wild. It's good for them. He's only been eating this for two weeks, so I can't comment on if it'll help his pee problems yet, but I will say he LOVES this stuff. He's not a picky cat, so he does love most food, but he seems to especially like this stuff. I feed him one 6.5 oz can a day plus a little of the prescription dry kibble from the vet (he's a 12 pounder). It is expensive, but so worth it because 1. Hopefully it'll help avoid costly vet bills and 2. You wouldn't feed your kids only McDonald's just because it's cheaper. When I adopted my cat I did so to give him a good, healthy life. I'll update in a few months if he's avoided anymore urinary issues!

I really like the idea of a healthy food for my cats. I love them so much, I want to give them the best. After everything, I’ve read about this food, I bought it. As it turns out my cats will not eat it. It’s quite expensive and I spent all this money for nothing.

I changed my cats diet to meat only a few months ago after doing a ton of research trying to figure out why he was gaining so much weight, shedding so bad, and using his litter box so much. I learned cats are obligate carnivores, which I guess means they don't have the enzymes to digest carbs, which can lead to all sorts of issues if you're feeding a store bought brand of kibble like I was. Even a high quality (er cost) one, like I was. Anyway I suggest researching the topic yourself even if your cat isn't experiencing health issues, but especially if he/she is. Of the three I bought, ZiwiPeak Lamb, Tiki Cat Chicken and Primal Instinct Chicken Limited Ingredient Diet, this ZiwiPeak is the only one he'll eat, I'm guessing because it contains Tripe, which tastes great to cats and gives them the enzymes they need to digest the carbs in the preys gut. He won't even eat it if I mix the others with it in an eighth portion. Hopefully I can get someone to buy the other two, such a waste for something so expensive. BTW all of my cats symptoms have gone away, even has some playful energy back (he's an older cat so I don't expect much), and he uses the litter less and it doesn't wreak when he does!

My cats can be quite picky, but both will eat this food. One is a diabetic and this is one of the few low carb, high protein foods out there suitable for a diabetic diet.(I discovered this brand on a public food chart compiled by Dr. Lisa Pierson DVM.) I monitor my cat's blood glucose very closely and I'm happy to report that there are no glucose spikes after he eats this (always a gamble when trying new foods!) It is not their favorite food, but it is palatable enough that they eat it when nothing else is offered. The food is very thick, almost like a peanut butter consistency. I add about a tbsp of water to their servings which helps soften it up.

I feed this canned food as part of a very old Tibetan Spaniel's rotation diet along with the mostly non-fish based Tiki brand canned foods. She is 17 and likes/tolerates very few commercial or homemade foods. This she eats fairly well, though she does prefer the broth and shredded meat Tiki formulas to pates. I like her to eat ZiwiPeak as well because of the higher levels of organ meats, something lacking in most of the Tiki formulas except their "After Dark" line. Ziwi's ingredient lists are sometimes inconsistent, on some agar agar is listed and sometimes chick peas. Other lists don't have either. My current case doesn't list taurine among the ingredients, possibly an oversight in the printing, not vital for a dog, and my cats don't get it as an exclusive diet (their main foods are frozen mice, chicks, and quail supplemented with some canned and freeze dried raw). All in all the brand seems very high quality and unlike Tiki relies on food ingredients more than supplements. Premium ingredients naturally at a premium price. Worth it in my opinion. Update- According to the manufacturer there is more than enough naturally occurring taurine in the food due to the high meat and organ content. This makes sense and explains why it is not listed as a supplement. Most cat foods require supplemental taurine due to borderline (or virtual lack of) meat/organ ingredients.

A warning for any pet owner, particularly cats, whose little babies are suffering from bloated bellies, constipation, or diarrhea and are eating Ziwi, immediately take them off it. Ziwi used to be a good brand until they sold it and the ingredients started to change. My cats were experiencing all these symptoms when eating Ziwi and it went away when we started giving them Feline Naturals, which I from New Zealand. For example, Ziwi started putting chickpeas in the food and it’s the 6th ingredient in there. That means they have a lot in the recipe, and I’m not sure if you notice how bloated humans can get after eating chickpeas, imagine what a cat feels? Also, if your cat if suffering from constipation, ground up bones make it worse. DL-Methionine which is synthetic. Methionine is found naturally in fish and animal meat, but DL-Methionine is synthetic. Thiamine Mononitrate is listed in the ingredients and that is a synthetic form of vitamin B1. In summary, Ziwi used to be good. From the ingredients changing and my cats having a reaction to it, the cases of food started to show up with dents or the food smelled and looked spoiled. I don’t recommend Ziwi anymore which is unfortunate. I switched my cats to Feline Naturals and they love it.

One of my cats was hospitalized for a week, and after many tests, no cause was found. They suspected irritable bowel disease and suggested feeding her a novel protein. Since we had 4 cats (one of which was diabetic), all 14+ years old, there were not a lot of proteins they had not tried before. Ziwi Peak was one of the only novel, single protein foods I saw. All three of our cats like this food, although we only give it regularly to the one who was sick previously since this brand is so much more expensive. The foods seems like good quality and does not include a lot of fillers. It includes bone and organs, which is much closer to what they would eat in the wild. My only complaint is the price, but if you want quality, you have to pay for it.... If it wasn't for the fact that we have 3 cats now, and they've been healthy and happy eating their "cheap" food all these years, I'd switch them all to this.

Mon chaton adore. Livraison parfaite. Dommage que ce soit aussi cher.

La composición está muy bien, pero mis gatos no les gusta mucho.

Bought this as something to trial on rotation and it got a very positive response consistently over several meals. The ingredients list is longer than I would like and has quite a few chlorines on the list. I’m not well researched enough to know if this is harmless or beneficial but generally I would prefer more natural ingredients on the list (entirely possible with other premium brands). Especially as this brand seems to pitch it’s brand as natural and premium. Like the inclusion of green lipped mussels in the food. I’m not sure if this is what makes it expensive but it has been given in powdered form before with other food and certainly is enjoyed.

My senior cat went crazy for this even before we opened the can! He can be a picky eater but not with this. I’ll be trying other flavours soon. Sure, it’s pricier than Friskies, but it’s a better value with a picky eater because there’s no waste.

お高いけど、その分その価値はあるウェットフードです。 我が家の猫ちゃんはよく食べてくれます。 水分補給のために少しぬるま湯を足して出していますが、それでも綺麗に食べてくれます。 ziwiピークの公式サイトでは餌の量のシュミレーターがあるので、そこでカロリーを見ながら与えています。
