Ziwi Peak Mackerel Recipe Canned Cat Food

Our senior girl recently had dental extractions done, due of course to dental disease. She had lost a significant amount of weight prior, & then in the course of her surgery her jaw was fractured. She is fussy!! so having a food she likes, especially now...we are thankful to say that her weight is climbing.

My sister kitties are very picky. They turn their pretty little noses up at anything that isn't fish and even the highest quality brand fish flavors go partially uneaten. I've reduced portion sizes, ended up throwing food out, wasting money AND my garbage really stinks! Despite some poor reviews, I thought I'd give Ziwi Mackerel a try. OMG - they actually lick their bowls clean! Honestly! That has never happened. FYI - this is a very dry pâté. I normally add some moisture to all their food but with this I add 3X as much water as I do any other canned food. But that's ok with me. I mix it well into a slurry and they gobble it up! This will be the mainstay of their menu.

Ziwi Peak Mackerel is one of my girl's favorites. She always cleans her bowl by the end of the day. I add a little water to the empty can and mix it with the mackerel in her bowl. Sometimes I also add a little more water to the bowl when she's half way finished. This is expensive, but I believe worth it for the quality of the ingredients. Hera looks very healthy, and that's what it's all about.

Three out of five of my cats love this food! They gobble it up so fast I have to give them small amounts at a time.

I feed this to my feral rescue babies. What a difference in their coats. I received an amazing compliment from my Vet when she saw them after a year. My baby girls coat mimics a mink coat now. Her fur is shiny, strong and her skin is perfect. I can only imagine what’s its doing for her internal body. Taste wise, my cats like it, but don’t love it. I have put another brand on their plates to entice them to get started. I use all of the varieties of this brand. I had trouble with the larger can where they wouldn’t touch it, not sure why. I went to the small cans again and they were fine.

This food is an expensive import from New Zealand. I would not normally buy this except one of my cats is diabetic and it had been difficult to find a wet food with the correct amount of calories to go with her insulin. Just looking at this food, you can tell the superior quality. It is denser than most supermarket brands. Reading the label tells you how much real nutrition comes in the can.

Both my cats love the mackerel food by Ziwi peak ... eat it up !

The food is very dry and crumbly. My cats ate the first can, but after that they refused to eat it. I gave three stars because they have eaten other flavors from this brand.

This is the favorite Ziwi flavor of my 3 cats. My male cat purrs when I am dishing it out! The other 2 gulp it down. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.

Two cats- both like this food but it is crumbly and dryer than the beef and chicken. Adding a small amount of warm water makes it easier for them to eat. Will buy again.
