A complete, air-dried meal made with 96% venison, organs, bone and New Zealand Green Mussel - gently air-dried so it delivers maximum nutrition.

The ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Difference: 
  • Raw ingredients - ethically-sourced ingredients your dog will love
  • Minimally processed - gentle warm air locks in beneficial nutrients 
  • Maximum nutrition - unmatched nutrient density with irresistible flavour
No compromises - no rendered meats, meals, no added grains, potatoes or legumes. 
One of the most popular ways to feed is simply topping your dog’s existing bowl, whether it’s kibble, wet or fresh, with just 20%.
What’s more, at 20%, the cost works out to around $2 per day* less than your morning coffee, and arguably more important. *based on a 10kg cavoodle.
  • Limited Ingredient Diet: Single protein venison recipe. No added beef, chicken, lamb or fish.
  • Protein Packed: Protein from 96% venison, organs, bone and New Zealand Green Mussel supports healthy muscles and energy for daily adventures together.
  • Highly Digestible: Fibre and prebiotics from chicory root for easy digestion and a healthy microbiome.
  • Hip & Joint Support: Natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin - particularly valuable for active dogs and dogs in their senior years.
  • Superfood Boost: Crafted to include New Zealand Green Mussel, cold-washed green tripe and kelp.
  • Lustrous Coat & Healthy Skin: Natural sources of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids.
    Complete meal, delicious treat or nutritious topper. Suitable for dogs of all life stages.

    Pure New Zealand Venison - the ultimate combination of venison, organs, bone and New Zealand Green Mussel. New Zealand's sweeping coastline and temperate climate make an ideal habitat for free-range, grass-fed venison. Ethically raised on pastures of lush native grasses, with plenty of room to roam. The result is exceptional taste and nutrition in every bite.

    There is nothing purer than the love you share with your dog - the quiet moments, wild adventures and everything in between. At ZIWI Peak, every Air-Dried recipe is handcrafted with the same care you give them, beginning in our New Zealand kitchens with ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients, gently air-dried to preserve the nutrition your dog instinctively craves. Because when you feed them with the best, you create more energy for play, more vitality for every day, and more shared moments that matter.

    Irresistible Taste. Powerful Nutrition. For a Peak Life Together.

    Nutrients and benefits

    Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids

    Found throughout the body, especially the brain and eyes. As you might expect, these nutrients are crucial for supporting healthy brain function, growth, and development (particularly for puppies and kittens). But they also play an important role in helping your pet’s blood vessels, heart, immune system, and lungs work properly.

    They’re also great for supporting healthy skin and coat. Poultry is an important source of Omega-6 fatty acids, while New Zealand green mussels and other seafoods are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

    Glucosamine and Chondroitin

    Glucosamine is a combination of ‘glucose’, a sugar, and ‘glutamine’, an amino acid. It helps form and repair cartilage. Together, they’re ideal for building healthy joints and resisting joint tissue breakdown - particularly crucial for our senior pets and puppies. Beef, lamb, poultry, and bones are a good source of these nutrients.

    Taurine

    An amino acid and one of the building blocks of all proteins. Necessary to maintain normal vision, digestion, heart muscle function, and to maintain a healthy immune system. Dogs can make taurine, but cats rely on taurine exclusively from their diets. All animal proteins are an excellent source.

    Calcium

    Calcium builds and maintains strong bones. But it’s also needed for the heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly. In the wild, cats and dogs would eat bones along with meat to get the calcium they need. We think they have the right idea, so ZIWI Peak recipes include ground bone to reflect what your pet would eat in the wild.

    Phosphorus

    Phosphorus is essential in the formation of bones and teeth, so essential for our young pups and kittens. It is needed to make protein so the body can grow, repair, and maintain its cells. Phosphorus also helps the body make ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy. Phosphorus is found in bony raw materials, which is why ZIWI Peak recipes include ground bone.

    Sodium

    Sodium is beneficial for focus and mood, heart and blood health, weight maintenance, and fluid balance. Puppies and kittens require sodium to support healthy growth. Sources include meat and seafood, and salt.

    Selenium

    Protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and is found in meat and fish.

    Folic Acid (B9)

    Important in amino acid and nucleotide metabolism and in mitochondrial protein synthesis.

    Storage instructions

    We recommend you feed our air-dried food before the printed best before date and within 8 weeks of opening the package; however, these dates are intended as guidelines.

    If the product is not stored in its sealed bag, it can be exposed to air and/or moisture which could cause the food to become dry and brittle, or could create the potential for mould to grow; either of these would be an indicator that the food has not been stored properly and should no longer be consumed by your pet.
