ZIWI Peak Rabbit and Lamb Recipe Wet Cat Food - 185 g

ZIWI Peak Rabbit and Lamb Recipe Wet Cat Food - 185 g is a canned wet cat food made with New Zealand rabbit and lamb, at a ratio ZIWI put at 92% meat, organs, seafood and bone.

Key Features

• Two proteins, both named on the pack: Rabbit and Lamb together. Worth being clear that this is therefore not a single-protein recipe: if you are running an elimination diet, one of the single-meat recipes is the one you want.
• Moisture where a cat needs it: Most of a cat's water should come from its food. A cat that ignores the bowl gets it here instead.
• 92% meat, organs, seafood and bone: ZIWI's figure, with a 10% Z-BOOST blend and no grain, potato, glycerin or rendered meat.
• Complete, or a topper: Balanced for all life stages on its own, and useful spooned over dry food to get water into a cat that will not drink.
• Rabbit is the unusual one: A meat almost nothing else in the cupboard contains, which is exactly why it is useful on an elimination diet.

What Is In The Can

• ZIWI put the cans at 92% meat, organs, seafood and bone, with a 10% Z-BOOST blend, and no grain, potato, glycerin or rendered meat.
• Most of the rest is water, which is the whole point of a wet food rather than a shortcoming of one.
• Complete and balanced for all life stages, so it can be the entire diet rather than only a topper on something else.

Why Wet Food Earns Its Place With Cats

• Cats evolved to take most of their water from what they catch, and plenty of them simply do not drink enough from a bowl. In this climate, wet food is the easiest way to get water into a cat that will not.
• Vets commonly suggest more wet food for cats prone to urinary trouble. Ask yours about your own cat rather than treating any food as a medicine.
• An opened can keeps covered in the fridge for a day or two. Let it come back to room temperature before serving, because most cats refuse it straight from the cold.

Two Proteins, And What That Means For An Allergy Diet

• This recipe contains two different animals. That is fine for most cats, and it is the wrong choice if you are trying to work out what yours reacts to.
• For an elimination diet you want one meat and one only. Tell us what you are ruling out and we will point you at the single-protein recipes instead.
• If you are managing a diagnosed allergy, read the panel on the tin yourself. Ask us and we will photograph it for you before you order.

Good To Know

• Out of stock at the moment. Ask us for the lead time before you plan around it.
• Cats are creatures of habit about food. Introduce a new recipe alongside the old one rather than swapping the bowl over in one go.
