Tuesday is Product Review Day!

Hello Poppits!  I wanted to let you in on a little secret - I love stuff! I am all about trying new things and finding what works (and what doesn't) for my family.  So, from my furfamily to yours, here is today's product review --

 

Ziwipeak - Air Dried Dog Food

As per the website:

Looking for the best 100% natural dog food, the best 100% natural cat food? You’ve found it!

Welcome to ZiwiPeak, a fresh, natural, raw meat, just air-dried for convenience or canned with sealed-in moisture. All from the cleanest, greenest New Zealand pastures and oceans. Nothing added but goodness in vitamins and minerals. It’s what dogs and cats would – if they could – call perfect. It’s what we call unconditional love.
ZiwiPeak is as close as it comes to a raw, natural, wild diet, without freezing and thawing. So it’s made for your lifestyle as much as your pet’s. We use no preservatives, fillers or grains. Nothing artificial. Just real meat, heart, liver, kidney, cold-washed green tripe and bone, hoki fish and green-lipped mussels, with selected vitamins and minerals. With over 95% digestibility, your pet gets every morsel of goodness. And you’ll use less than most foods. The result? Healthier, longer-lived, thankful pets.

Now, I know what you're saying "Marty, you just told us you feed Prey Model Raw!"  And I do!  However, there are times when raw meat is just not practical -- say, when you're hiking, or you've been gone all day and just can't muster the energy to cut through a giant turkey bone with a pair of quickly dulling poultry shears... 

That being said, the furkids LOVED this food, even if their stomachs didn't feel full from the tiny portion sizes needed.  I loved that it is real meat, minimally processed, and easily digestible. There was minimal change in their poop, mostly just in color. Ziwipeak looks like little strips of beef jerky, so it stores in your cupboard (it does come in a wet variety as well, but I have not tried that) and travels well.  Once it got down to where there was no longer enough to go around I started using it as training treats.

I definitely recommend this food, especially if you only have 1 dog, or only small dogs, as it is pricey.  I will likely keep a bag on hand for traveling and occasional lazy days, but since to feed soley Ziwipeak would run my family about $500 per month (remember, I have 2 large dogs, 1 small dog, and 2 kitties) using this food all the time is impractical for my family. That does not mean it's impractical for yours :)
