Pet Food Danger Gauge 90% - Questionably Safe For Pets
I have never rated a product quite like this one. ZiwiPeak left a lot of guess work with the ingredient list they provide for this over priced bag of questionable ingredients. Can you believe ZiwiPeak is getting over $10.00 a pound for dog food? New York Strip stakes and a chef to cook them would be cheaper than ZiwiPeak Dog Food!
Animal Fats - Used to encourage a pet to eat ingredients they normally would not eat. Ingestion may lead to gastrointestinal upset or even pancreatitis. This can be a very painful condition for dogs. In addition, most companion animals do not need extra fat in their diets.
Chickory Syrup (sugar) -
Used to encourage pets to eat ingredients they normally would not eat. Sugar - William D. Cusick/The Animal Advocate - all forms of sugar carbohydrates have been found to be detrimental, except for lactose found in the milk of a lactating bitch for her puppy.
"Lamb - Meat" - What is this supposed to mean? If this ingredient is lamb the company would say "lamb". Why did they put a dash between the two words? Is ZiwiPeak trying to be tricky? Lamb, without the meat would be good for dogs.
"Meat" is often rendered dogs and cats as well as other animals such as road-kill. When the source of the meat is known it will be listed as beef, poultry, chicken, turkey, etc. If the source of the meat is not known it is simply called "meat".
Liver (what source?) - Did the liver come from the "meat"?
Tripe (by-products) - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Tripe is a type of edible offal from the stomachs of various domestic animals. Here I thought it was fish or something not the contents of some animal's gut. Let's look at this one "Offal".
Offal - Offal is the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of organs, but includes most internal organs other than muscles or bones. Depending on the cultural context, offal may be considered as waste material that is thrown away, or as delicacies that command a high price. Offal not used directly for human or animal food is often processed in a rendering plant, producing material that is used for animal feed, fertilizer, or fuel.
Heart & Kidney (what source?) the same domestic animal that was called "meat" ?
Vitamins & Minerals (which ones and from what source?) - Are these vitamins and minerals even good for a dog?
Lecithin - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - A major source of lecithin is soybean oil. The use of Corn, Wheat, and Soy are causing such awful conditions in pets including:
- Abnormal nail growth
- Bad breath
- Blindness
- Bloat
- Cancer
- CRF
- Cushings Disease
- Deafness
- Dental disease
- Dry and itchy skin
- Ear aches
- Ear infections
- Early pet death
- Fever
- Hair loss
- Heart conditions
- Hot Spots on the skin
- IBD
- Kidney conditions
- Liver conditions
- Moles and warts
- Seizures
- Sore feet
- Tumors
- Weight gain
I once met someone who talked a lot like these people at ZiwiPeak speak about their dog food ingredients. The man I met was a fast talking car salesman. He later spent time in prison for ripping people off. I wonder how long ZiwiPeak has been in business? I wonder how long that scammer I met has been out of prison? Hmmm.

Dear Susan,
Your comments about ZiwiPeak "Daily Dog Cuisine" needs correcting.
Firstly the formulation is based on what a wolf or big cat would hunt in the wild.
Venison Cuisine recipe;
65% Venison Meat (muscle removed from the sketelal bones). Organs mentioned in decending order are as they occur in the animal. Venison Liver, Venison Tripe (cold wash stomach lining), Venison Heart & Venison Kidney.
ZiwiPeak has removed the water from a raw diet and created a self stable complete diet.
ZiwiPeak is expensive per lb, but once you calculate the cost per portion per day it is less than feeding a good quality raw diet.
Ziwipeak is changing the lives of many suffering cats and dogs with problems with carb based kibbles. Many pet owners know a raw diet is the best for their pet but for various reason prefer a product like ZiwiPeak that is just about as good.
ziwiPeak is not a product that needs defending.
