Ziwi Peak Lamb Recipe Canned Cat Food

There was something about the texture that I didn't like, but I really thought that the cats wouldn't mind. My cats usually don't reject lamb (especially from Weruva) but for whatever reason they had an issue with this. I read other reviews before and after purchasing about getting a bad batch. Perhaps that was the case too. Honestly the texture reminded me what you'd get in a large can of dog food, namely Blue Buffalo. There was hardly any moisture and I really had to mush it up to make it more appealing to the cats, and even then it didn't appeal to them very much. The portion and the price was what ultimately sold me on getting this brand of cat food, but unfortunately it didn't work out There was something about the texture that I didn't like, but I really thought that the cats wouldn't mind.

It may just be bad lamb. … more

My cat refused to even touch this, so I gave it to my boyfriend to try with his cat, because he said he will eat anything that comes out of a can. His cat refused to touch it too, so it must have some type of smell that repels them and makes them want to not even give it a try.

I had the same experience as a customer below and shout out for the simple test. My food driven cat, which only eats these cans , was refusing to eat this. After a few cans that were barely touched, I purchased the same can from a local store and he ate it. I wanted other pet parents to know because after going through a vet, the refusal to eat may be as simple as the food. I did not see or smell anything doesn't mean the cat didn't. Some of the cans that I ordered in the last two months are bent, so I'm not sure what that means but I'm reluctant to feed it to him. Its not chewy's fault but i wanted to make sure I shared the info so put one star.

Ziwi Peak canned cat food has saved my cat who is now a healthy palyful 11 year old !!! He loves all the selections. Thank you, Ziwi Peak .

I was so hoping this food would work for our cats. We have 4 rescues ranging in age from 3-18 and all but 1 of them are finicky eaters with sensitive stomachs. Our senior dog loves this brand but has a very sensitive stomach and many foods don’t work for her. Ziwi Peak turned out to be wonderful for her. She loves it and her coat and energy levels improved when we started adding it to her diet as a supplement and with no digestive issues! Our dog’s reaction to Ziwi Peak was so positive that it got us past the sticker shock. We thought we should try it with the cats hoping for similar results but sadly did not have such a good outcome. Two of them initially expressed interest when we opened I was so hoping this food would work for our cats.

Two of them initially expressed interest when we opened the first can but after a couple of bites turned their noses up. After that first can one of them literally runs away when she smells it. Even our cat who eats everything and anything refuses this food (lamb flavor). At first I wondered if perhaps the food had gone bad as it does smell a little weird, but after opening half a dozen cans he continued to refuse it. We are giving the rest of the case to our local animal shelter and hope they have better success. We are disappointed this didn’t work out for our cats. This is a good brand and has good ingredients which is why I gave it three stars but not so much on the flavor/smell for the cat food. We will continue to give our dog the Ziwi Peak she loves. … more

Pricey but what an excellent cat food. Chickpeas are the only controversial ingredients and that is up to the pet parent.

She does seem to like it... it looks very much like a Devil's Ham as far as texture goes. Smells good too! She' not that big on that style so we put it in a personal blender and then serve it to here! This she likes the "Devils Ham" style but just finer..... and she really likes it dry.... which it does come that way but prefers no water added!

I was mistakenly under the impression that because of a cat's delicate digestive system, you shouldn't switch up their food. So I fed my now 7 year old cat the same brand, chicken flavored, dry food for about 4 years. Last summer, he started throwing up enough that I knew it wasn't normal, and it very quickly got to a point where he couldn't even keep food down. He started to projectile vomit his undigested food immediately after eating, then continued to vomit until it was nothing but bile. Eventually, he was drinking water instead of eating everyday. One night, he didn't come snuggle with us, even after I made kissy noises. I knew something was wrong so I went upstairs & found him laying in I was mistakenly under the impression that because of a cat's delicate digestive system, you shouldn't switch up their food.

One night, he didn't come snuggle with us, even after I made kissy noises. I knew something was wrong so I went upstairs & found him laying in the spare bedroom, staring off into space, barely breathing. He wouldn't respond to me and I knew cats run off and hide to be alone to die. It terrified me and I sat there holding him & crying. We took him to the animal hospital and they ran a series of tests & x-rays on him, gave him an antibiotic & fluids. $600 later, they called to let me know the tests came back fine & everything looked good. He was perfectly healthy & I just needed to keep an eye on him. But I know my cat & I knew he wasn't ok. I started thinking he might need a food for sensitive bellies, so I researched & found a top rated dry food designed specifically for sensitive stomachs (chicken flavor). He ate that for a few months before the vomiting started back up. I spent more time researching the problem and found several sources pointing to food intolerances & allergies that develop as a result of cats eating the same flavor and/or brand for too long. I learned the two most common cat food allergies/intolerances are chicken and salmon, and that wet food is a better source of food for cats. With this new information I scoured the internet for the best wet food I could find, regardless of price. I found Ziwi Peak Lamb Recipe & read the 5-star reviews as well as the reviews with 1 star. Most of the 1-star reviews were nothing more than a finicky cat and not an issue with the actual brand or food itself. I visited Ziwi's website to learn more & was very impressed to read that the food is 92% meat and the ingredients are natural and organic! I decided to give it a try, and my cat didn't even hesitate. He LOVES this food!! I have him on a strict feeding schedule now, and this is the only food he gets. He hasn't thrown up in 8 days he's been eating it, and I've noticed he's been grooming himself again, his coat is shiny, his eyes are bright, and he's so playful. He's happy & I'm happy!! I plan to feed him lamb for 12 weeks before I introduce venison for 12 weeks and then hoki. Yes, this food is expensive, but it is so worth it to see my cat healthy and happy again! I HIGHLY recommend the Ziwi Peak brand! I feel like it saved my cat's life. … more

My cats refused to eat it. I mixed it with other foods, and also tried it alone. Giz is not a picky cat, but he wouldn’t eat this Other cats may like it

My 2 cats normally scarf their Ziwipeak Peak Lamb down at night. I alternate between lamb and venison and they love both. However, tonight was the third time they sniffed and walked away. So I pulled out a can from another shipment and they ate it just fine. So there's definitely a bad batch out there. It's an expensive food to get a bad batch that your kitties won't eat! So buyer beware...you could get a bad batch!
