Morning David,

I recently purchased Ziwi Peak steam dried South Pacific fish rather than the air dried. I should have realised it was kibble and has a lot higher carb content. Have you reviewed this product at all?

In reply to Pet Food Judge (America). You need to update this review, ZIWI got sold and reformulated

I’ve tried most all brands, I find the “Feline Natural” does very well with my cat.
They have zero thickeners.
Would be great if “Ziwi Peak” could do the same perhaps eliminate the “Chick peas”
I like giving my cat a variety of quality foods, of course Without carrageenan, all gums, agar agar etc.
First time I tried the Ziwi peak, my cat will taste some of it at best.
Thanks

In reply to Mike. I had to give away 24 cans as my cat also threw up every time she had the wet food. She is fine with the air dried food though.

In reply to Liz.

Hi Liz, Ziwi as a dried raw diet I expect would help – it’s a more true-to-form raw diet. That said, the vet recommended wet foods (for brands like Royal Canin and Hills) tend to be quite a bit better than the dry foods. Definitely adding clean water/moisture to your cat’s diet is a good idea.

Would Ziwi be good for a cat diagnosed with urinary issues? I have him on the vet recommended wet food, but it just contains so many bad things I’d like to really stop giving him that. So should I transition to Ziwi, freeze dried and add some water and the wet one?

In reply to Mike. Hi Mike, Ziwi was acquired in 2021 by China-based private equity firm FountainVest Partners, but the recipe hasn't (noticably) changed since and is still manufactured in New Zealand. If you want an Aussie alternative then check out Eureka which is proving very good.

The Ziwi chicken wet food that comes in cans has made my cat throw up twice. She’s generally 100% healthy. Obviously something in it doesn’t agree with her. My other cat however is fine.

Is it true that this company was New Zealand owned, but has been bought out by a Chinese company which has changed the product formula?

I’ve come across Tu Meke as another NZ brand. Their wet food is a bit cheaper than ZIWI, are they as good?
