Janine Zoutendijk-Skin Allergies

Hi to you all,

My dog is a two year bichon/poodle and for his entire life I have given him home cooked food because he will not eat dog food (and I have tried every make on the market).   He suffers from skin allergies and has been extremely itchy most of his life.

Two weeks ago I tried your food and for the first time in his life he ate a whole bowl of food!   I couldn't believe my eyes.   I don't know if it is wishful thinking on my part but his itching seems to have decreased also.

His past diet was New Zealand Lamb and locally grown organic vegetables with vitamin and mineral supplements.

I tried your ZiwiPeak Cuisine Venison and Fish recipe because the store in Seattle had that as a sample and he loved it.

You do not list the vitamins and minerals and so I do not know if I should continue with the supplements or not.

Please could you e-mail me with the vitamins and minerals included in the Venison and Fish and also the Lamb recipes.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely.

Hello Janine,

Thank you for your email for both its description of common feedback we get from dog (and cat) owners who use ZiwiPeak and for your questions to clarify things for you.

Firstly, it is very likely that your dog will love ZiwiPeak as it is based on what the hunting dog would eat in the wild: meat, organs, fish and we add a blend of special vitamins and minerals in various forms to make ZiwiPeak a complete diet.

Secondly, as ZiwiPeak has everything the dog needs, I do not believe you will need any supplements, unless he is particularly deficient or unable to absorb something well.

Thirdly, as we do not use any grains, fillers, colours , chemicals or added carbohydrates, so there is nothing he can be allergic to so he will not (from his food) get itchy.

I have attached a specification sheet for your information.    I am sure your dog will continue to enjoy and benefit from eating ZiwiPeak.

Kind Regards

Geoff the Vet.
