Nutrients and benefits
Omega-3 fatty acids
Fish is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids which are known to support healthy skin. Healthy skin encourages growth of hair follicles and results in a shiny, glossy and lustrous coat.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also crucial for supporting your cat's healthy brain function, growth, and development particularly for kittens. They also play an important role in helping your pet’s blood vessels, heart, immune system, and lungs work properly.

Taurine
An amino acid and one of the building blocks of all proteins. Necessary to maintain normal vision, digestion, heart muscle function, and to maintain a healthy immune system. Cats rely on taurine exclusively from their diets. All animal proteins are an excellent source.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin
Glucosamine is a combination of ‘glucose’, a sugar, and ‘glutamine’, an amino acid. It helps form and repair cartilage. Together, they’re ideal for building healthy joints and resisting joint tissue breakdown. Beef, poultry and bones are a good source of these nutrients.

Calcium
Calcium builds and maintains strong bones. But it’s also needed for the heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly. In the wild, cats would eat bones along with meat to get the calcium they need. We think they have the right idea, so ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried recipes include ground bone to reflect what your pet would eat in the wild.

Phosphorus
Phosphorus is essential in the formation of bones and teeth, so essential for kittens. It is needed to make protein so the body can grow, repair, and maintain its cells. Phosphorus also helps the body make ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy. Phosphorus is found in bony raw materials, which is why ZIWI Peak recipes include ground bone.

Feeding Guide
Because ZIWI Peak is so nutrient-dense, you might be feeding less volume compared to some other foods. Check our feeding calculator for more information.

Transition
Mixing ZIWI Peak® with your pet's existing food over 7 days – adding a little more each day, up to their recommended daily amount – can really help with the switch. Remember to reduce the amount of the old food to allow for the introduction of the ZIWI.

ZIWI is different from many other pet foods – because it is so nutrient-dense, you’ll be feeding less volume compared to other foods which are packed with fillers.

Storage instructions
ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried recipes should be stored tightly sealed in their original package in a temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight and heat and used within 8 weeks of opening. The shelf life is 21 months.
