ZIWI Peak Wet Cat Food Variety Pack - Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Mackerel & Lamb, Mackerel, Venison, 6 Pack (3oz Each)

ZIWI Peak canned Catfood is OUTSTANDING in My purview, certainly.. based on its extremely high quality ingredient/nutrient content (as well as its refreshing LACK of such content as Carageenan & Byproducts). Its exceptional 92%, choice meat/protein makeup is immediately evident upon opening each can. You can smell the difference.. and, so will your Finicky Feline (be assured). My “Little Royal Rupie” comes RUNNING from 2 rooms away before the can is even 1/2 open & is perched against the cabinet on His tippy toes, stretching His ‘arms’ towards the counter (where I’m prepping His Nummy), & “crying out”. 😻 Beyond the Meaty Smell; The texture gives it away.. No indistinguishable mush here. While you won’t see a lot of meat shreds (as in the supplemental cans of cat food that come in broth.. which I sometimes mix into His Ziwi Peak, admittedly to both offset cost & add a bit more moisture); You will notice the firm, smaller/shorter striated texture of pieces of meat within/that make up the ‘pâte’ as a whole. It can seem crumbly at first/at times (degree varies slightly betwixt varieties).. But; If you just break up pieces a bit & stir, much smoother. I also add a small dollop of pumpkin BabyFood or puree (for digestive care) which further smooths & heat up in microwave for several seconds (as many cats enjoy the “warm/fresh prey” thing 😉). My Rupie (just turned 4yrs old on St Patrick’s Day) is SO enamored with His Ziwi Peak; He’s now refusing His other LIFE-LONG Fave (of which I had JUST ordered a Full Case- oh well). Since His Sensitive Tummy seems Very Happy.. Digesting Smoothly (so far *knock wood* Will update, if any changes) & He’s Been Extra Sweet, Silly, & Rambunctious.. I am more than happy to donate His “Old” food which was growing more & more inconsistent in quality & availability and make a Full, Official Switch to Ziwi Peak.. though; it IS pricier. He Is Worth It. (More New Zealand fare for Him; More PB&J for me.)

My cat loved every flavor I gave her. I like the ingredient which is very healthy for the cat. I would prefer a bigger size but it was ok for trying it out. The texture look good. The odor seems ok, no bad odor. I wish it wasn't so pricey but I guess good quality cost more.

You may have seen some of my other recent reviews of cat foods. Presently, I have been on a quest to find a high quality canned food for my girls. The criteria is simple: (a) they must like it (and therefore eat it) and (b) they must be able to keep it down. This one appears to be very high quality, so I was hopeful. Over the last 2 weeks, we've tried every flavor twice but the girls do not ever finish their food. There has been no vomiting though, so that's a huge win. I can't be sure why they don't like it, other than organ meats are used and they are not accustomed to them. Neither are they accustomed to beef or lamb, so that may also have been an issue. Your mileage may vary, especially if your cat isn't picky like mine are.

The best patte my cat ever had!!!

The chicken is the only 1 out of all 6 that seemed edible. The other 5 smelled and looked horrible. My cats did eat the chicken but would not touch the others. Kinda surprised the only 1 to look different from the other was the chicken. idk 5 out of 6 being identical is sketchy. The Mackerel, Mackerel & Lamb, Veal, Beef, and Lamb all had a horrible pungent smell and weird white stuff that I assume is shredded cartilage, tendons, etc. The Chicken was the only one that resembled real shredded chicken and did not smell awful. Still, gonna look for a new brand.
