Kimberly, I am attaching photos of some of my beauties for you to see.

My gray gal Rikers, passed away a year ago today at age 16.
My husband found her abandoned and left to die by her mother. She was born without hip and knee joints, but she lived and thrived until 16 years. Before I switched everyone to ZiwiPeak canned only in 2007, Rikers weighed over 30 pounds and could barely move and was in agony. She took to the food immediately and the weight came off slowly and steadily. In 2008 she weighed 19 pounds and was moving and playing like a kitten. All she was getting for her lack of joint issues was hyaluronic acid. The eosinophillic granulomas that plagued her for years disappeared, the diabetes threat was no more, the dandruff disappeared and her coat became a soft, shiny charcoal grey.

My boy Gadget white with black long hair, was also a rescue, he passed Sept 14, 2011 from intestinal lymphoma at age 9. He had all sorts of skin and fur issues before the ZiwiPeak and after the change over, he just thrived.

Our huge red boy Duke was adopted from a careless breeder on March 27, 2010 at the age of 2.
Duke was in terrible shape when we got him. Duke was a purebred Maine Coon, but the product of Line breeding, so he came with many problems. Entropia, malnourishment, horrible fur. Duke took to the Ziwi the first night we had him home. He ate like he'd never eaten before and he thrived and blossomed into the most loving boy anyone could imagine. Sadly, my heart has been shattered beyond repair, Duke became ill on Dec. 27 with an Ileus and an intussusception. Emergency surgery was done on the 27th but his digestive function, including peristalsis did not return at all. He passed away on January 9th, 2012.

Rusty- 3 year old pure bred red tabby Maine coon. Huge, sweet loveable, gentle soul. Thriving like mad!!! This boy starts to drool when I open up the rabbit cans.

Edgar Winter 12 year old long hair rescue. We got Ed when he was abandoned at a vets office. He was 4 years old and in deplorable shape. This guy has done nothing but thrive on Ziwi. Ed is pure white with long fur and has gorgeous blue eyes but is not deaf.

Frosty is another rescue, short hair white with black living doll. We found him, 8 years ago in Dec. 2003, on a day when the temp in NY was 5 below zero F with wind chills of 20 below. Before the switch to Ziwi, Frosty was very huge weight wise......weight came off of him and he is like a kitten again.

Lastly is Neville a pure bred black smoke Maine coon born 3/3/2011. Neville has been raised on Ziwi canned since we got him at age 12 weeks. Don't know what he was fed before that time.....the breeder offered to send us home with some of her food. I said "No thanks", I have my Ziwi. We took Neville right to the vet for a checkup and she said he was in lousy condition and severely underweight for his age. She said he was very small as well and his deciduous teeth were loaded with tartar!!! Gums were also inflamed. I brought Neville home and introduced him to his new cat buddies and to Ziwi. Three weeks later, Neville went back to the vet and she could not believe this was the same kitten. He was twice the size and twice the weight. Neville is 10 months old now and he is enormous!!! He weighs 19 pounds and does not have an ounce of fat on him. He will be full grown in about 5 more years. Maine coons take 5-6 years to reach full growth and maturity. Neville's adult teeth are beautifully white, very strong and the gingivitis that plagued his gums is gone.

My story, my loves.
Thank you again Kimberly,
Peg

Stockholm, Sweden November 2011 - A letter to our director, Nigel Woodd, who looks after our ZiwiPeak European market.

Dear Nigel,

Thank you so much for your thorough reply, I really do appreciate it! I also do feel calmer now that I know the answers to my questions. It really does mean a lot that you took the time, and that I got the information I needed. It makes me like this brand even more, and, know that my beloved cat Torsten has, in a way, had a new life since he started eating ZiwiPeak.

I'm still afraid to perhaps "exaggerate too much", and am almost afraid of believing in such a big change, but, so far, I have to say he does seem so much better than before, and I am so happy and thankful for that.

The vets thought at first that he had started developing diabetes in the beginning of the year, though it passed..(!)... then he had a urine infection... then he couldn't keep his food down and had to be put on an IV.... We also discovered a skin mastocytoma that needed to be removed. We got good help in that acute situation from very nice, skilful and devoted vets, and I'm thankful for that. I was thinking a lot though about why my cat got ill, and tried to find more information about food and nutrition.

Well, it's hard to say exactly what's what, but in any case, one thing I'd been thinking a lot about was that the dry food my cat was eating before didn't seem so good (even if it was "supposed to be").

He had previously been a very healthy and happy cat and wasn't sick much, I had always given him what I thought to be the best food and what was recommended, but now he was really ill, and it didn't feel as if it was "only" age or something like that. I felt worse every day that I gave him that other food, sensing it probably wasn't good, but not knowing what to do! I was actually a bit desperate.

Then, after some research, I found your canned food and started feeding him that during recovery - daring to do it, in spite of a little bit of skepticism among the vets (they almost always want you to buy the specialized "vet food" and they had not heard of ZiwiPeak at that time; it was quite new here I guess, and if the vets are hesitant about something, of course you can become nervous yourself ) - and so far I have to say, he has so much more energy, is playing much more now although he's almost 14, almost like a kitten again.

He seems younger and is jumping and running better. His coat, even though it was always very nice, is now even more shiny and soft. It also seems like his sense of smell improved, and he is not so desperately hungry all the time, plus he seems somehow even more present - even if he really was before too. Well... the important thing is that he is happy and healthy. I want to do what I can, and it's such a bonus to have him here and see him like this, as he means so much to me. He's a strong personality, and he does seem to really like your food. :)

Thank you again for making this food, for keeping your high values, believing in the importance of good quality - and caring about your customers!

Best wishes from Sweden, Jeanette

Coco, may I introduce our ZiwiPeak Family!

The oldest (11 y.o) named Footsie is a Siamese old type, the Foreign White (Siamese SIA w67, new type) is 1 y.o. and her name is Precious ( she is really like a diamond!).

The newest member of our cat family is Nosey, Cornish Rex (4 times Best In Show already, and she is only 4 months old!) and of course our gorgeous labrador - Snorkel.

Cats were being fed Barf in past, but now we certainly feed all of them with ZiwiPeak (dry and wet) for 10 months- and look - what a silken coats they have, perfect muscles, no fat at all - just pure natural amazing shape! And Snorkel - our Labrador, a.k.a. "The Vacuum Cleaner":-)

We thought that ZiwiPeak feed portion suggestioned by ZiwiPeak for such breed would be too small for him...but he is happy and looks fantastic.
