Taste Test: ZiwiPeak Venison

I haven't been able to find any ZiwiPeak within a 30 minutes drive of my house so I shot an e-mail over to the service center on the site and asked if they could send a sample.  A couple days later, this arrived on my doorstep.

The box was much mcuh larger than I thought a sample would be and was surprised that the "sample" was an 8 ounce bag of the venison Daily-Dog Cuisine!  That was enough for a couple days instead of a single meal.  The sample came with a measuring cup that is equal to 1/2 regular measuring cup.

Sample bag and measuring cup.

Ingredients:
Venison - Meat (min. 65%), Liver, Tripe, Heart and Kidney (min. 19.5%), Chicory Inulin, Green-lipped Mussel (min. 4%), Fish Oil, Lecithin, Kelp, Vitamins and Minerals, Parsley, Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, additives: Vit.

Guaranteed Analysis: 
Protein (min.) 34%
Fat (min.) 26%
Moisture (max.) 15%
Ash (max.) 8%
Fibre (max.) 1.6%
Calcium 2%
Phosphorus P 1.1%

The only ingredient I find to be a problem is the lecithin which is soy-based, but other than that it looks great, especially for an almost completely meat diet.

One scoop of ZiwiPeak.

According to the instructions, Conker should get about 2 scoops a day, or something around 6 ounces.  I gave him one scoop with some extras like Honest Kitchen, ground beef, egg, etc. since this wasn't an actual trial.  Anyways, Conker LOVED the Ziwipeak and didn't have any immediate adverse reactions to it so I hope to pick up a bag sometime soon for an actual trail, possibly while I'm in AZ for the holiday.

I also used the food for treats while re-crate training and it worked out good for that too.

If you want to give ZiwiPeak a try and don't want to buy an expensive bag, sent an e-mail asking for a sample. I was more than satisfied with mine.



On a completly unrelated note...
Today is my birthday.  I'm 23 and still live at home with Mom.  Yippee-ki-yay... not finishing that.
