Business Spotlight - ZiwiPeak

New Zealand is an oasis of clear air, rich soils and green pastures. From this unique land of plenty comes a natural range of premium pet food products: ZiwiPeak.

ZiwiPeak believes nature knows best, therefore they emulate the diet nature intended for animals. Using only premium, all-natural ingredients (free of antibiotics and hormones) that are ranch-raised on New Zealand's fields and fished from its waters, ZiwiPeak contains no colors, preservatives, fillers or grains.

The ZiwiPeak family is made up of products suitable for pets of any stage of life, and more importantly, pets and owners love them:

• ZiwiPeak ‘Cuisine’ - a naturally balanced meat diet for daily vitality 
• ZiwiPeak ‘Treats’ - meat jerky treats for rewarding good behavior
• ZiwiPeak ‘Oral Health Care’ - natural deer antlers, shank bones and hooves to keep your dog’s teeth clean
  

Cats and dogs are carnivores and omnivores, respectively. Feeding them meat-based diets as nature intended and as ZiwiPeak offers, provides their bodies with the natural sustenance and energy they need to get the most out of life. The diet formulation used in ZiwiPeak ‘Cuisine’ has been balanced by veterinarians to provide a pet's natural nutrient, vitamin and mineral requirements, creating:

THE ZIWIPEAK ADVANTAGE 

1. Match your dog's digestive system. High in protein and fat, and low in carbohydrates. 
2. Avoid weight control difficulties. Nutritionally sound, meat-based diets require less food intake by dogs.
3. Fully comply with regulatory standards. ZiwiPeak ‘Cuisine’ is formulated by animal health professionals to ensure it fully complies with industry requirements (AAFCO) as a nutritious pet-food diet for dogs.
4. Reduce flatulence and stool volume. Unlike grain-based diets, dogs can more fully digest ZiwiPeak food, thereby reducing the flatulence and stool volume associated with high carbohydrate diets. 
5. Free of preservatives, fillers or grains. Preservatives, fillers and grains hinder, rather than help, your pet to achieve optimum energy and health.
6. Provide readily usable essential vitamins. Dogs are unable to produce minerals and can only produce some vitamins. They cannot, for example, synthesize sufficient Vitamin D to meet their requirements; therefore it needs to be incorporated into their diet. This is achieved by including ingredients in the diet that are rich in Vitamin D, such as liver and fish oil.
7. Contain valuable ingredients. ZiwiPeak ‘Cuisine’ contains ingredients like New Zealand mussel and venison connective tissue (which provides digestible levels of Chondroitin and Glucosamine) to nutritionally support long-term joint health.
8. Offer your dog wider nutritional benefits. As dogs hunting in the wild would eat virtually the whole animal and derive the nutritional benefits of consuming items such as the liver, heart, kidneys and stomach lining, these should also form a small part of a naturally healthy diet for pet dogs.
9. Retain the original nutritional value. Air-drying the product to reduce the moisture (and thereby naturally preserving it), then sealing it in an airtight package, is an effective way of retaining the nutritional value of the protein and vitamins for your pet.
10. Mirror a 'wild' hunting diet
    

Dogs still thrive on the sort of natural, predominantly meat diet they would ingest if they were hunting in the wild – a diet that stimulates optimum energy and good health. Highly processed foods and high levels of carbohydrates, on the other hand, cannot be easily metabolized by dogs.
