Ziwi Peak Venison Recipe Canned Cat Food

My Maine Coon girl used to love Ziwi peak venison canned until yesterday. She had a surgery and has to be on wet food for 2 weeks. I fed her two cases of the same brand, same flavor I got from chewy 8 months ago. After those ran out, I got her another box the day before yesterday, while she will not touch the canned food any more! She had her last half of can from our last purchase, and refused to eat even a bit from the new box yesterday. Apparently there is something changed in the new formula. Won't recommend anymore:( Sorry Ziwi peak

My cat has been suffering with gastrointestinal issues for years. It started with soft stool outside of the litter box and progressed to liquid diarrhea multiple times a day. She had complete bloodwork done, a fecal test for parasites, and x-rays with and without contrast. She tried enzymes on her food, probiotics, antibiotics and steroids. Nothing helped and no cause could be determined. She tried 2 different prescription foods and got worse. She started having bloody diarrhea, vomiting and lost over half of her body weight. Through my own research I determined that she has malabsorption due to severe food allergies. We have tried several novel protein grain free foods and nothing has helped My cat has been suffering with gastrointestinal issues for years.

Through my own research I determined that she has malabsorption due to severe food allergies. We have tried several novel protein grain free foods and nothing has helped her until now. Within one day of trying Ziwi, her stool has gone from liquid to normal. The frequency has gone from 10-12 times a day to 1-2 times a day. She isn’t vomiting and she just looks like she feels better. This is the only food that doesn’t make her sick. I call it a miracle because it has reversed all of her symptoms so quickly. The only drawback is the cost. It is even more expensive than all of the prescription foods that we have tried. The results we have experienced are worth the cost though. I urge anyone who has a cat with GI problems to try this food. … more

My Maine Coon was suffering from horrible IBD, throwing up daily, and has allergy issues that made him drastically underweight and refusing to eat more than a tiny bit of any food. I was desperate and decided to do a complete diet change with novel proteins to see if it would help. I decided to try Ziwi in the venison and lamb flavors since I heard great things about the company and I really hoped that he would have some interest in the food. Not only was he interested, he loved it--and this cat who would sit and not eat now jumps up mouth open and ready to feast on his Ziwi Peak. Consistently.

After 3 months on Ziwi Peak (along with another New Zealand food that I also get from Chewy) he has gained some much needed weight, very rarely vomits and his IBD and allergy issues have cleared up considerably. After taking him to the vet- she was amazed when she saw him. He has lots of energy, a healthy appetite and his fur looks and feels amazing-- all thanks to his new diet. I've also added the Ziwi chicken to the rotation and that is also another hit. Thank you Ziwi Peak and thank you Chewy for offering such great options! … more

My cat loves the taste. He has severe food allergies to salmon, tuna and chicken, so I was excited to find a high quality product like this that has unique proteins like venison and mussels. He doesn’t love the texture and has talked me into pureeing it for him with some extra water, but then he eats it all right up. Love that this comes in the smaller cans too.

I purchased because the ingredients on the label seemed healthy and veterinarian suggested venison for my cat. My cat ate venison before; however, she would not eat this brand of venison. My other cat hesitated to eat it and immediately vomited after eating. I feared what was in the food to cause vomiting and refusal to eat. I was disappointed because I was originally so excited about the ingredients on the label. Thankfully, Chewy reimbursed the order. Sadly, I have to throw away about a case of food-afraid to donate. I wonder about ingredients.

Giving this three stars for the ingredients, but my cats just do not like it at all and refuse to eat it. They usually love Ziwi but there are occasionally those recipes that don't work for them, and this is apparently one of them.

My cat loves soft canned food in the morning. Screaming and meowing until I pop the can. He was recently put on a skin diet (limited ingredients) so I ordered this. HE HATES IT. Won’t touch it at all!!! I’m so bummed

My fussy IBD cat loves this—easily his favorite. I don't have to follow him around the house begging him to eat it, and he doesn't vomit and have lava diarrhea all over the house an hour after eating it. Please don't change this food and please keep making it!

My cat vomits up this food within 5 minutes of eating it! I have tried to feed it to her several times, and it happens every time. She eats other venison foods with no problem. I have compared ingredients with similar foods, and the only thing that is unique to Ziwi are New Zealand Green Mussel and Kelp.

Ziwi is now like every other company. Changed he formula and my cat won’t touch it now.
