Irresistible Taste. Maximum Nutrition. For a Peak Start in Life.
We believe every kitten deserves to live at their peak – every day you share together. ZIWI Peak Kitten Steam & Dried Chicken with Southern Blue Whiting Recipe provides complete and balanced, nutrient-dense tailored nutrition for kittens aged 2 to 12 months.
ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried is a nutritious raw-inspired alternative to traditional kibble. Made with 85% New Zealand cage-free chicken, wild-caught Southern Blue Whiting, organs, and bone, it is gently processed with innovative steam and light air-drying technology to deliver the maximum nutrition growing kittens need, combining tailored health benefits with an irresistible taste they love.
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. Perfectly paired with wild-caught Southern Blue Whiting sourced from some of the world’s cleanest ocean waters, this blend delivers a delicious flavour and a nutrient-rich profile. The result is exceptional taste and nutrition in every bite
Crafted specifically for early development, this recipe includes DHA and EPA from natural fish oil for brain and eye support, vitamins A and E for immune defence, and prebiotics with dietary fibre for easy digestion and smaller stools. Guaranteed taurine and balanced minerals support cardiac and skeletal growth, while natural chondroitin promotes active joint mobility.
The ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried Kitten Difference:
ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried recipes give your cat a protein-rich, highly digestible meal they crave. Each small batch begins in our own kitchen with ethically sourced, high-quality raw ingredients, blended with New Zealand superfoods for added nutrition. Ingredients are gently steamed to create a light, crunchy texture, then slowly air-dried to lock in essential nutrients. No compromises - no rendered meats, meals, added grains or potatoes, and no added artificial preservatives, colours or flavours.
Convenient and ready to scoop and serve as a complete standalone meal, or a nutrient-dense base for mixed feeding.
