Ziwi Peak Otago Valley Grain-Free Air-Dried Dog Food

I tested five of the highest rated raw dog foods on my two English Toy Spaniels..many were good...all were well tolerated by the dogs and they loved all of them. All poops were excellent. But I liked the ingredients in this brand the best and a plus was that it comes ready to eat. No having to use the freezer and then defrost. No having to mix it with water. Perfect food for breakfast feeding. I will probably use a different raw food for the evening meal when I have more time and energy to fiddle with it. But maybe not.

This food is a bit expensive for us for an everyday food, but we use these as training treats and our dog LOVES it. I love that we found a balanced food that our somewhat picky pup will accept as a treat so that we can go heavy on treats during training sessions!

I'm taking my time in transitioning my 5-pound Yorkie from Ziwi Lamb to Otago. I feed him 5 oz twice a day, and I started him out at 4 oz Lamb and 1 oz Otago. After two feedings, his stools were a little on the loose side so I backed the Otago to just shy of 1 oz. He was fine with that for a few days. He's now at 2 oz Otago, 3 Lamb and doing well. He seems to love the Otago, but then again he loves all the Ziwi brands.

This is an excellent air-dried food. It is dense, therefore you don't have to give as much at each meal. My dog is satisfied. She also has fewer stools meaning she is digesting more of the nutrients. Their meat is free-range and grass-fed. The fish comes from top-ranked fisheries. We love this food!

I actually haven't ordered this off chewy yet (I got a sample size straight from ziwi to test it out first because my dog can be picky) but I was excited to see they added it here! My dog eats ziwi from chewy all the time, it's in our autoship - I usually get the beef but he also likes the lamb, lamb and mackeral, and the venison. The venison is his favorite but it's the most expensive so I order it less. Was so happy when they made a flavor that has his favorite venison in it but also beef and lamb to make it more affordable for me, AND also fish to add different nutrition value (I try to give him fish once or twice a week as an alternative to meat because has different benefits).

To have everything all in one seemed like the perfect air dried raw meal, and we tested it out this week and he gulped it down so fast! Definitely dog approved. … more

My two dogs love this food. I wish that it was smaller because I have to break it up for one of my dogs.

Our picky dog loved these in the smallest bag but won’t eat them now that we’ve invested in the largest bag. It does smell different - fishier - than the smaller size so maybe they changed the recipe..? Otherwise Ziwi is such a great treat!!

We bought 3 different ziwi products and this one was the smelliest. My dog did eat it but he was pretty unsure. The other two he gulped down without hesitation and this one he had to "taste" a few times before deciding if it was okay.

This is softer than other flavors. My dog found the Beef version difficult to chew because its way too hard. But otago valley when compared with beef was way softer and easier to chew.

My dog LOVED it . It was gone in a couple of day , so we need to order more !!!
