I have a very picky puppy that would often rather starve himself, than to eat something he doesn't like. Because of that, he was becoming underweight and I decided to switch him away from dry kibble to have him gain some weight first before worrying bout his picky taste.
However when I give him ziwipeak, he would finish it up right away!
This brand is expensive, but based upon the amounts you feed, it isn't really that much expensive if you have a small dog. I have a 2 pound puppy that is expected to mature at about 4-5 pounds, and the costs is about 25cents extra a day. If you have a big dog that's gonna gobble up 1/3 of a bag or more a day, then that will be a lot more expensive for you.
But......
The quality of food and the fact that it is in a jerky meat form makes it a lot better than eating hard dry kibble all day long.
Anyone would be bored of eating biscuits everyday for his entire life :/
The quality of this food is unsurpassed.
There have been no problems at all with this food at all as well either. No recalls, all made in New Zealand as well.
Something that I tell a lot of people.
Spend more on food daily, and not risk the possibility of having a sick dog due to some pet food recall. Vet bills are going to cost you a few thousand dollars.
Expensive dog food will probably add up to the same cost as most over the duration of your dog's life, unless you have a really big dog.
So instead of having to go through the grief of having a puppy in pain, and you undergoing mental and emotional stress, why not just give it a food that is good and safe and something that the dog enjoys, and spare yourself from all that unnecessary trouble?
Yes times are hard and most people are having difficulty putting dinner on the table for themselves or their kids. So there are situations where foods like this are just too much to afford.
So unless if your budget really is a problem, I would recommend this food to anyone!

I have tried all types of raw dog food for my yorkie. He used to like the Paw Naturaw Grassfed Bison meals, but the last two bags i received had to be mixed with fresh raw meat in order for him to eat it. I tried Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Raw meals and ended up having to do the same with that food. This morning i put out a small portion of "ZiwiPeak Real Meat Grain Free Air Dried Raw Dog Food, Venison & Fish" from a 2.2 lb bag and my yorkie gobbled it up. Shipping was quick too. I order on Monday and received it on Tuesday. I am very pleased with the product and the shipment.I am sold on this product and will definitely order this again.

My Westie loves it ... first dried commercial food in her 4 years I can say that about! From the label, it looks like very high quality ingredients too, not cheap but a little goes a long way.Honest reviews on ZiwiPeak All-Natural Air-Dried Grain-Free Dry Dog Food - Venison
Is this product overpriced? Probably so, but it is a convenient source of venison. I can not find venison locally (unless I go out and hunt it). I started out using this product as treats. By the way, the Ziwipeak TREATS seemed to be more dry and crumbly than the FOOD. Perhaps, I got a bad bag of treats. Further, it appears from the ingredient list, the food is healthier than the treats. So, I no longer buy the treats; I buy the food instead. I currently use the Ziwipeak food for treats.I now use Ziwipeak Venison as a topper to Orijen 6-fish. I do not use Ziwipeak exclusively for 2 reasons. First, the cost of feeding Ziwipeak to my two golden retrievers would break the bank. Second, because the recommended amount to feed a 65-70lb dog with average activity level is about 1 cup per day! I can't imagine only feeding a 1/2 cup twice a day to my dogs. I'm sure they would look at me like, "Is that all ya got?" I don't mind them being hungry or eating small amounts of food, but I do think they need enough bulk in the gut to feel somewhat satisfied after their meal. They use to get Orijen 1 to 1.25 cups per meal (twice a day). I now feed Orijen 3/4 to 1 cup and Ziwipeak 2oz.(scoop included) twice a day. I haven't been doing this for very long, but it's working out great so far. I also feed some green tripe as a topper on the weekends. I am considering going completely raw on the weekends and using Orijen/Ziwipeak during the week for convenience (and the fact that my wife does most of the feeding during the week and she is grossed out by raw).
Some things to consider about the price. Fresh meat is about 80% moisture, whereas Ziwipeak is about 13-15% moisture. Most raw meats are about 16% protein; Ziwipeak is about 35% protein. So, with raw meat you are getting about 5 times as much water and less than half as much protein. Don't get me wrong, I think raw is the best diet and I hope to go completely raw someday. I'm just trying to explain that you can not compare the price of Ziwipeak to raw pound for pound. Another example, I should feed my 70lb dog between 1.5 and 2 POUNDS of raw per day (2-3% of the dog's ideal body weight). With Ziwipeak, I should feed about 1 CUP per day. Big difference! Further, I should feed about 2 CUPS of Orijen per day. So, Ziwipeak packs about twice the "punch" of Orijen grain-free. And, as you may know, Orijen grain-free is considered a fairly high calorie dry kibble. As a final note, all of the protein in Ziwipeak is from meat. Orijen, which has a high meat content, still has a significant amount of protein from plant sources (peas, lentils, chickpeas, etc.). Meat proteins are preferred over plant proteins for our carnivorous friends.
I would consider raw as the best diet, then Ziwipeak as a convenient, but expensive alternative to raw. For now, I use Ziwipeak to compliment my high quality kibble and feed raw when I can.
I deduct one star because their seems to be some quality control issues. There are quite a few reviews that complain about the product being overly dry and crumbly. I had the same problem when I purchased the "treat" formula. Perhaps a pinhole in the bag. I would like to see Ziwipeak vacuum pack this product in a tougher bag. Vacuum packing would hold in moisture, increase the shelf life by removing air, and make it very obvious if the bag is punctured.
