ZIWI Peak Air Dried Dog Food Venison

PURE NEW ZEALAND VENISON RECIPE: 
ZIWI® Peak gently air-dried foods combine the best of raw diets with the safety and convenience of dry foods. With a mouth-watering 96% free-range venison, organs, green mussels, and bone, our delicious PeakPrey® recipe helps you and your pet live your best lives, together. 

This novel protein is perfect for all life stages and breeds, including dogs and puppies with food sensitivities or even the most selective eaters. For a dog with allergies, a limited ingredient diet helps to determine and eliminate reactions from common pet food ingredients such as corn, wheat, soy, and some animal proteins. Starting with a low-risk allergy ingredient like venison and slowly introducing other proteins can quickly determine where the allergy resides, and as a result, can be eliminated from your pet’s diet completely.

Serve as a nutritious meal topper, mouth-watering treat, or complete meal. Simple, delicious, and full of tail-wagging nutrition.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids

Found throughout the body, especially the brain and eyes. As you might expect, these nutrients are crucial for supporting healthy brain function, growth, and development (particularly for puppies and kittens). But they also play an important role in helping your pet’s blood vessels, heart, immune system, and lungs work properly. 

They’re also great for supporting healthy skin and coat. Poultry is an important source of Omega-6 fatty acids, while New Zealand green mussels and other seafoods are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Glucosamine and 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 - particularly crucial for our senior pets and puppies. Beef, lamb, poultry, and bones are a good source of these nutrients.

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. Dogs can make taurine, but cats rely on taurine exclusively from their diets. All animal proteins are an excellent source.

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 and dogs would eat bones along with meat to get the calcium they need. We think they have the right idea, so ZIWI Peak 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 our young pups and 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.

Sodium

Sodium is beneficial for focus and mood, heart and blood health, weight maintenance, and fluid balance. Puppies and kittens require sodium to support healthy growth. Sources include meat and seafood, and salt.

Selenium

Protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and is found in meat and fish.

Folic Acid (B9)

Important in amino acid and nucleotide metabolism and in mitochondrial protein synthesis.
