ZIWI Peak Steam and Dried Cage-Free Chicken with Whole Mackerel Recipe Cat Food

ZIWI Peak Steam and Dried Cage-Free Chicken with Whole Mackerel Recipe Cat Food is a steamed and dried complete cat food made with cage-free chicken with whole mackerel, at a ratio ZIWI put at 85% raw meat and organs.

Key Features

• A different range, not a cheaper bag: Steam and Dried is its own recipe and its own process. It is not the air-dried food at a lower price, and your pet will notice the difference if you swap between them.
• Whole mackerel, not fish meal: Oily fish for omega-3, and the smell that persuades most cats to start eating in the first place.
• Z-MicroSteam processing: ZIWI's name for gently steaming and drying the meat rather than extruding it the way kibble is made.
• Scoop and serve: A dry food in handling terms. Nothing to refrigerate and nothing to thaw.

Steam And Dried Is Not The Air-Dried Range

• A different process and a different recipe. ZIWI put this one at 85% raw meat and organs, gently steamed and dried, with vegetables and prebiotics in the mix.
• It sits between kibble and the air-dried range rather than matching the air-dried range at a lower price. Worth knowing before you switch between them and wonder why your pet notices.
• It is the easier way into the brand on budget. Tell us which you are weighing up and we will compare the two on cost per day for your animal.

Changing Over To It

• Move across over six to eight days, mixing a little more of the new food in each day. ZIWI advise the same, and a sudden jump to this much meat upsets most animals.
• Expect smaller, firmer stools once they are settled on it. That is the low carbohydrate load doing what it does, not a problem to fix.

Storing It In This Climate

• Low moisture is what keeps a dried food stable, and the air here works against that. Press the air out, roll the top down and seal it properly every single time rather than most times.
• Keep it in its own bag rather than tipping it into a storage bin. The bag is a moisture and light barrier; a plastic tub is neither, and it is why decanted food goes stale faster.
• Keep it out of the kitchen heat and out of any sun. If a bag ever smells sour, or feels soft rather than dry, stop using it and bring it back to us.

Good To Know

• Sold in several bag sizes on this page. The larger bag is better value per kilogram, the smaller one easier to keep sealed and fresh.
• If you are moving down from the air-dried range, do it over a week rather than overnight. The recipes are different enough to notice.
• Out of stock at the moment. Ask us for the lead time before you plan around it.
