ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried Chicken with Southern Blue Whiting Recipe for Kittens

ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried Chicken with Southern Blue Whiting Recipe for Kittens is a complete and balanced food developed specifically to support healthy growth and development from 2 to 12 months of age.

Made with 85% premium animal ingredients, including New Zealand cage-free chicken, chicken organs, bone and wild-caught Southern Blue Whiting, this recipe delivers concentrated animal protein in a light, crunchy format that is easy for kittens to eat.

ZIWI’s two-stage Steam & Dried process gently micro-steams the raw ingredients before slowly air-drying them, helping preserve their nutritional value while creating a convenient food that can be scooped and served straight from the bag.

The recipe is designed to support lean muscle development, brain and eye health, digestion, immune function, healthy skin and coat, skeletal development and active joints during the important kitten growth stage.

Key Kitten Benefits

High levels of animal-sourced protein help support healthy growth and the development of strong, lean muscle.

DHA and EPA from fish oil support normal brain and eye development during the kitten growth stage.

Taurine and carefully balanced minerals help support healthy heart function and normal skeletal development.

Prebiotic-rich chicory root and dietary fibre help support digestion, nutrient absorption and a healthy gut microbiome.

Fish oil provides omega-3 fatty acids to support healthy skin and a glossy coat.

Chicken bone and cartilage provide naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin to support growing joints and mobility.

Vitamins A and E provide antioxidant and immune support during development.

ZIWI Steam & Dried Process

The raw ingredients are first gently micro-steamed to create a light, crunchy texture.

They are then slowly air-dried to remove moisture while helping retain the natural flavour and nutritional value of the ingredients.

This creates a nutrient-dense food that offers many of the nutritional qualities of raw ingredients with the convenience of a dry format.

How to Feed

Serve as a complete and balanced everyday meal or use as a nutritious base or topper alongside another complete kitten food.

Because ZIWI Peak is highly nutrient-dense, your kitten may require a smaller volume than they would with traditional kibble.

Use the feeding guide on the packaging as your starting point and adjust portions as your kitten grows according to age, activity level, growth rate and body condition.

Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.

Transitioning to ZIWI

Introduce gradually when changing from your kitten’s existing food.

Start by replacing a small amount of the current diet with ZIWI, then gradually increase the new food while reducing the previous food over several days.

Suitable For

Growing kittens from approximately 2 to 12 months of age.
