Ziwi Cat Food Review (We Tried It)

Learn more about Ziwi in our written review: allaboutcats.com/ziwi-peak-cat-food-review

We switched to Ziwi Peak wet food and though it's twice as expensive as the Blue Buffalo our cat was used to when he was young, it's well worth it. I really like that it doesn't have carrageenan, guar gum, or xanthan gum. The artificial binders are very triggering for intestinal inflammation. Benji is doing so much better with his new food and I suspect his coat is softer too.

I've been building a spreadsheet on my cats diet/costs and while Ziwi is expensive if you feed them either wet OR dried food, you can significantly reduce the cost by feeding both wet AND dry products. My cat's daily caloric requirements are ~200 cal/day: By feeding 1/2 can (92g) and 14g dried (chicken), I can reduce costs by 15% while also reducing the carbohydrate intake from the canned food. You can further reduce costs by 18% by feeding 1/3 can (62g) of wet food (chicken) and 22g of dried (chicken). Again, this is based on my cats caloric needs.

Yay you reveiwed Ziwi! This is the only food I feed my cat, he loves it and hes looking much healthier on this

Thanks for reviewing this brand! Is always helpful have an opinion from somebody that have a lot of knowledge of cat brands and cats foods. Thanks also for accepting my suggestion about reviewing this brand,. I use it cause of your website, where you have all the top brands that have used and was very helpful to choose a good brand to feed my cat. You make a great job and I’m fan of all your videos

Thank you for your videos on cat food choices. They are so incredibly thorough in their presentation. Our three cats have been loving Ziwi for at least a year now, but being expensive we kind of been changing it out at times with a new one that we just discovered - and one that they love too - which is Earthborn Holistic. They seem to love all 6 flavors, but now that I’ve seen your videos, I’ll be checking the extra important aspects on the can (the same with Tiki Cat as well). Your “Smalls” video has us interested too. Thank you again for what you do.

I bought 6 cans of Ziwi's original wet line for my cat to try, all different proteins. She loved every single one! It's expensive, so I think I'll keep it to just a few cans rotated in weekly.

I love this channel💕

My cat seemed to enjoy the ziwi peak dry foods, thanks for another great video!

Thx for doing the review for Ziwi peak! They used to be one of the two brands I gave my cats before they transitioned to raw diet! Usually feed their canned food but highly recommend their air dried food when you need to go on a trip!. You are not the only one who complained that their cats are not very interested in the food! One way I would recommend is to ground the jerky up. Sometimes the texture and shape would scare the cats off. But when you ground it, it will be a lot easier for them to eat it. And you can top it onto canner food too to add some extra flavor! Hope this will help!

Just ordered Thanks

My wife says, "Thank you for your review. We are owned by 2 Tuxedo cats. Our little girl won't touch the Lamb recipe, but our little boy loves it. He has a history of food allergies and cystitis, so he must be on a limited ingredient, wet food. Despite the chickpeas, his weight remains stable and well within normal range. He gets most of the large can about every 3-4 day cycle, and I actually add some water to it to make a more moist pate. We like the quality of this food and feel it is worth the price. He also likes the other New Zealand brand which is of excellent quality as well and actually has no chickpeas. Both companies seem to have very high standards. We do think that cats are like people though, too often we like the things that aren't as good for us. Since it isn't easy to find foods that he can eat, we are very happy that he likes this one!"

Thank you, very good information 😺

Love your reviews

Thanks for all the research, hat was interesting. I had not heard of this brand before, so I will be looking in to it for my three cats. One thing I've learned about carbs is to check out the food on the glycemic index. Refined products and starchy vegetables are higher, so spike blood sugar & insulin, & causing fat storage. Many veggies are low carb. And since mammals' bodies are run by hormones, strict calorie counting doe not work (& there is no mechanism in the body to count calories). Reducing refined carbs is the healthier way to go. I've noticed too that many cat products have added sugar, such as hairball remedies. Cats definitely do not need sugars.

Thanks so much for reviewing this brand! I've been eyeing it in the pet store all winter (Canada). Are there any other brands of cat food that contain animal bone (kibble or wet food)?

Ever since I got my kitten 2 months ago, this is all I’ve gotten him and he loves it! I mix a little bit of the dry food with the wet food until the wet food can runs out, so i try to portion the can to 3 meals a day! I’ve also gotten him a new flavor every time it’s time for a new bag or set of cans. I buy him the dry food bag and a 24 pack of wet food and my total is about $130 🥶 but only the best for him!

well done video!

You should review Nulo cat/kitten food! I’d love to check out more food videos! Thanks so much for all the content!!!

I moved my Bengal, who has IBD, onto the Venison canned food. Really got his problems under control. No more diarrhea which he'd had for months. I would love to find an alternative to this expensive food but for now this is what I'm using and I'm super happy about the outcome. I wish the reviewer had directly named the 'just as good alternatives' in this video. I'll go watch her 10-best video now... :)
