Our serious approach to sourcing only premium natural ingredients for our ZiwiPeak products means you can have peace of mind that you’re providing your beloved pet with the best. Our ingredients contains none of the ‘nasties’ associated with cheaper pet foods: no added sugars, salts, glycerines, antibiotics, hormones, preservatives or carbohydrates such as potatoes, grains, rice, beet pulp, wheat glutens or cornmeal.

Ingredients

Venison

Our premium quality grass-fed venison is a novel protein source that has not been intensively farmed and therefore provides a new, clean, highly digestible, hypoallergenic protein source for your pet. Venison has plenty of connective tissue incorporated to provide regular, digestible levels of both Chondroitin and Glucosamine that nutritionally support long-term joint health in your pet.

Lamb

New Zealand is famous for having the perfect conditions for growing the best quality lamb meat in the world. ZiwiPeak’s lamb is a pure source of high quality protein and fats, which are essential for healthy brain and muscle function in your animal.

Green Tripe

ZiwiPeak uses green tripe that is only cold washed. Neither bleached nor scalded, our green tripe retains its nutritional value in our pet food. It provides the right balance of calcium and phosphorus for your pet, along with protein, fat, enzymes, vitamins and good bacteria to aid digestion and muscular development.

Liver, Lung, Heart and Kidney

These organs provide a concentrated source of the essential nutrients and enzymes that are required for a healthy daily diet. Rich in high quality protein, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, they are particularly beneficial during times of growth and reproduction.

New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel

Joint inflammation and osteoarthritis are common  ailments in cats and dogs. New Zealand mussel is a 100% natural source of glucosamine, chondroitin, glycogens and Omega-3 fatty acids with proven ability to nutritionally support long-term joint health. All ZiwiPeak Cuisine products contain sufficient glucosamine and chondroitin from green lipped mussels to provide your pet with its daily recommended requirements. There is no need to buy costly additional supplements when using ZiwiPeak.

Fish

New Zealand is renowned for its clean, clear coastal waters. Our fish is sourced and caught under New Zealand’s world-leading fish management system. It provides essential fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6, which dogs and cats are unable to produce themselves, to help build a healthier immune system.

Chicory Inulin

Chicory optimises digestion, supports the immune functions and promotes nutrient absorption in your pet.

Lecithin

A source of choline and inositol, essential fatty acids and sterols, lecithin is good for hair and coat condition as well as heart function in your beloved cat or dog.

Parsley (only in Dog Cuisine)

Promotes fresh breath and contains many beneficial vitamins and minerals for your animal.

Kelp

Taken daily, kelp may aid in the prevention and/or treatment of thyroid problems, heart disease, digestive problems, weight loss and various other health conditions.

Vitamins and Minerals

At ZiwiPeak we use chelated minerals. This means that the minerals we use are able to attach themselves to amino acids in your pet’s digestive tract, which in turn means your pet will more easily absorb the minerals than otherwise. This improved mineral absorption ensures your pet is receiving the requirements necessary for optimum health and performance. There is also decreased excretion by your pet of these valuable minerals, reducing the environmental impact of animal stools. ZiwiPeak uses the following chelated minerals in its air-dried formula: iron, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium.

Vitamins and minerals are essential in low concentrations on a daily basis for proper absorption of fats and carbohydrates and for the necessary chemical reactions to take place in your pet’s body. To gain optimum nutritional value, they need to receive them in the proper amounts and ratios.

Key Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamin A

Sometimes known as the anti-infective vitamin, vitamin A has a vital role in controlling the immune function, establishing growth patterns, as well as vision and foetal development.

Vitamin D

This vitamin helps to maintain a healthy muscular system by regulating the balance of calcium and phosphate. It facilitates the absorption and utilisations of calcium in the intestinal tract and without it your pet would not develop strong bones and teeth.

Vitamin E

As an antioxidant, vitamin E prevents damage to membrane structures, defends cells from free radical or oxidative damage, controls enzymatic processes and protects against pollutants. Vitamin E also assists in the production of red blood cells and aids in the production of energy to feed muscles in the body, especially the heart.

Niacin and Taurine (only in Cat Cuisine)

Cats cannot naturally produce some essential nutrients themselves, including niacin (an essential B vitamin), and taurine (to promote healthy functioning of the heart, retina and the reproduction system). Taurine is naturally present in our real meat products, but we add additional amounts to our Cat Cuisines because cats have a greater requirement for it. All of these nutrients are available in accessible form in ZiwiPeak Cuisine’s balanced meat formulas.

Other Vitamins and Minerals

Also in ZiwiPeak: vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 and useful minerals such as copper, manganese, iron, zinc, chlorine, iodine, selenium, potassium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate.
