Although it doesnt sound very appetizing to us humans, heart tissue is pure muscle all meat. https://frontierpets.com.au/collections/dog-food She might just not like it, its certainly not going to be appetising for every single 900 million dogs worldwide lol. So in essence either it was too rich cause its still lamb at the end of the day or a bad batch as Ive noticed from other comments that you cant necessarily tell if its a bad batch or not, sometimes theres clues other times nothing at all. Hi, I was going to get the Frontier Chicken the other day cause the chicken is the lowest in fat but Patch gets itchy red paws after he eats chicken so I changed my mind, I hate it, Patch cant eat this cant eat thats Arrrrrrhhhhh. Been buying Ziwipeak for years. Lucky for me she is only 2kg fully grown so doesnt eat much as it is expensive stuff. Yet I still would like to give her some kibble..can u tell me any suitable that I can buy online in Australia please. Well K9 definitely wins the prize as the stinkiest one Ive ever smelt, I dont have any doubts that its awesome quality, I really do love their foods and am quiet saddened by the sudden disappearance of their venison formulas. On several occasions with the poodle, and once with our whippet when we came to visit and fed our whippet the poodles treats (only small amounts, whilst training on the beach). So I think its just as much about portion control as it is about what the animal is consuming . . I hope it doesnt take pet warehouse and pet circle too long to get the new formulas in, as I really want to buy it. Hi. Ill have to email Ziwi Peak & ask them what is max fat % in the Rabbit & Lamb wet tin My kitten/cat loves Ziwi Peak wet moist & the air dried. -built like a little eskimo which I suppose makes sense given his breed.. he is at ideal weight with currant diet, however I feel he could have better coat condition. I edited huge amounts of this with a whole heap of more info so some wall of text may feel out of place sorry. All we can do is notify the manufacturer in the hope they investigate further, notify consumers, and recall batches if possible. They prefer the softer stuff. I usually avoid canned food but since their dry food is such great quality I thought maybe as a once a week thing. It retains nutrients and greatly extends shelf life with moisture removed. 3 dry food brands I am looking at are; Earthborn Holistic, Ivory Coat and Taste of the Wild- all grain free versions. Thats the end of ziwi peak for me then. Good luck with Patch and Ziwi I really do think they did a good thing with this change, its made the food so much better. Hi we need & pets need a certain amount of salt in our diets, 0.3% isnt much at all When I get my leg cramps first thing of a morning, I know my salt is too low, so I start adding more salt to my diet & the cramps go awayI bought the Mackeral & Lamb for my cat & she loves it, she doesnt even chew the pieces & gulps them all, when you open the bag it smells so fresh, I see my poor Patch looking up & wanting some as well..

Its certainly a quality product but dogs are all a bit different and there are some fringe reports of dogs having difficulty (Im guessing those dogs were eating large-ish quantities as a percentage of their meal, with some perhaps struggling to transition from a very different food). Its actually good that you responded just now Karen has a new email out today heres a picture of what it says and essentially what I meant in other words. Even 17% carbs is very low in comparison to other dry foods. Thank you. Deficiency in record numbers were observed in dogs only fed 1 food all their lives as opposed to the much healthier inner systems of a dog on a rotational diet and really would you want to eat the same food 2-3 times a day? If I were to feed this as my (22kg) assistance dogs base food it would cost just shy of $4,000 a year! The only problem I have with this is the availability. Particularly in the canine context. Hi all, how many different foods are good too have on a rotation , can it be to many? Hes the one in the picture and hes currently 9 years old and besides his pancreatitis he has now developed a heart murmur that can be felt and heard very easily, I was hoping me feeding him lots of freeze dried raw goodies with lots of heart healthy fats and other heart healthy items would reduce the onset time, since I know chihuahuas are known for having it later in life, sadly it didnt he got it around the same age as our other dog who eventually died from it. First, we note the inclusion of inulin, a starch-like compound made up of repeating units of carbohydrates and typically sourced from chicory root. They say that because its good for business as after all the money is top dog not your actual dog. How did the K9 one go? Yes, I definitely recommend rotating flavours and foods, theres no reason a dog should have the same diet every day. Wish its price wasnt so high; it would be my go to dry food otherwise. This helps cover the cost of operation of our free blog. I bought 8 cans, 4x lamb/mak and 4x beef, only opened 2 of the L/M and they didnt hold any form, well see if the beef does, fingers crossed, opened 2x chicken K9 last night, 1st impression was thats a lot of liquid in the can, a lot, held form better than the ZP, I used it as a topper on some prime100 roll for my bitch and she wasnt interested in it at all, I think she might be coming on heat though and goes off her food a bit when she does, although I gave her only prime100 roll(best you can get off the shelf in my rural town) tonight and she smashed it down, she did try to eat the ZP, just gave up on it, my 16 week old pup eats anything, so cant judge off him, but after the K9 last night he was in hypo mode for 4-5 hrs which is a 1st. This helps keep Pet Food Reviews a free and up to date resource. Hi, I cant see why not, it depends on your dog, if his stomach is OK to mix foods, some dogs are fine & some dogs like my dog isnt fine What I do with my cat I feed her about 4 smaller meals a day, my dog has IBD he gets 5 small meals a day & the cat wanted to be feed the same 4-5 meals a day, thats how she ended up getting 4 meals a day, I feed her Aldis cat raw sachets for breakfast & kibble in another bowl, she loves her kibble, if I dont give her kibble then she tries pinching the dogs kibble, she probably was feed a cheap brand kibble when she was a kitten, cause when I bought the expensive grain free kibbles she liked the cheaper Purina kibbles, shes a rescue kitten/cat from RSPCA then at lunch time she gets 1/4 of the 1/2 cup Ziwi Peak gives you of the Lamb & Mackerel, then for dinner she gets raw & kibble again & shes fine no stomach problems, no diarrhea, but its a shame to mix Ziwi Peak with dry kibble, maybe feed the Ziwi peak as 1 small meal & the other meal feed the kibble Do you have the batch number and use by date from the bag, and I assume youve notified Ziwipeak? If like the rest of us you have to run a tight ship, or if you have a pack of big hungry labradors, then ZIWIPeak can still be fed as a treat or topper. As unappetizing as it may seem to us humans, tripe is favored by dogs and sometimes even includes the stomachs contents, too. At first the poodle got to the bag, and so illness was expected. So should anything change, Ill know about it. Not sure whether the salt content has been posted already. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f92d67598f996bf3473f6002a09ba22f83eb88c29d34e89fd58827d750334cf.jpg, Hi I think all of Ziwi Peak formulas has been re formulated with different ingredients.

Anja also took a liking to it and ate a few bites, this was good to see, she is however sick today and hungry and she always eats whatever shes given when shes hungry so poor way to flavour test it, will need to see her reaction to it tomorrow and following days. Has Ziwi Peak always had the Rabbit & Lamb wet moist tin?
