Hey guys
I've just discovered that there's a website that delivers ziwipeak to the uk. Anyone else use this food? Is it any good?
Currently I feed kibble in the day and raw in the evenings ( what they will eat of it anyway). Would this be a good food to replace the kibble with so I could leave it in their cage during the day without flys laying their eggs in it?

I feed it to my dog. He loves it and its great food. My ferret won't eat it.

You'd likely have to do a slow introduction. None of my animals(cats or ferrets) wanted anything to do with it.

It's a great food...if you can get them to eat it! None of mine would.  |

Haha, Paulie, all of the sudden magically eats it. I can't explain why it is food all of the sudden. I guess it has been on the shelf just long enough to taste like his personal jerky stash.  Since he gets an NV medallion am and then pm, I am still figuring out how to rebalance his food now that I can leave a taste of that in the cage when I'm at work. (we're trying to lose weight as he has a lot of belly fat). Paulie has the Venison flavor, not the Lamb. I am fairly sure he'd never eat the lamb since he barely tolerates the NV lamb in soups. |

novemberkis my dog has been eating ziwi venison for over 1 year. Sonny will not touch the ziwi! i'm ok with it since i was reading about that chicory inulin and i guess it is sugar? i don't know where i read that. but Sonny will steal chunks of the dog's food when there is stella & chewy's or wysong freeze dried in the bowl.  |

My kids all like it. They prefer raw meat, but if someone is pet-sitting or I screw up and forgot to thaw anything they eat the Ziwipeak just fine.

I was wondering about the chicory syrup as well in the ziwipeak, both of mine like it, I got samples of it, venison and I do like that it's almost kibble-ish and doesn't leave little pieces all over like the other freeze dried but didn't like the whole added syrup thing.

Mine aren't huge fans of it either (I tried the lamb) unless I really soak the pieces in water and get them soft. They are these tiny square pieces that just seems to go hard and dry out and the girls can't be bothered with the flavour or chewing them. If you do try it, try the Venison. My girls love real lamb but not the ziwipeak lamb.

For me, the chickory syrup is a big concern. Which is why when they showed no interest, I didn't pursue it.
