New Zealand chicken is raised to strict animal welfare standards, reflecting a deep respect for quality and care. In cage-free environments, birds have space to move, scratch, and stretch their wings.

The result is exceptional taste and nutrition in every bite

Each small batch begins in our own kitchen with ethically sourced, high-quality raw ingredients, blended with New Zealand superfoods for added nutrition.

Nutrients and benefits

Omega-3 fatty acids

Fish is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids which are known to support healthy skin. Healthy skin encourages growth of hair follicles and results in a shiny, glossy and lustrous coat.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also crucial for supporting your cat's healthy brain function, growth, and development particularly for kittens. They also play an important role in helping your pet’s blood vessels, heart, immune system, and lungs work properly.

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. Cats rely on taurine exclusively from their diets. All animal proteins are an excellent source.

Glucosamine & 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.

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 would eat bones along with meat to get the calcium they need. We think they have the right idea, so ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried 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 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.
