Description
New Zealand and lamb are difficult to separate. The country's temperate climate, clean pasture, and multi-generational farming culture have produced what is broadly regarded as some of the finest lamb in the world — and it shows up in how dogs respond to this recipe.
ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Lamb is the richest recipe in the range by fat content. At 30% crude fat and 4,950 kcal ME/kg, it's the most energy-dense option in the lineup — suited to working dogs, highly active breeds, or any dog that needs more from each serve without eating larger volumes. Eight whole-animal lamb cuts make up the core: muscle, tripe, lung, heart, liver, bone, kidney, and spleen, with lamb tripe sitting second in the ingredient order for its naturally occurring digestive enzymes.
NZ Green Mussel delivers 3,000 mg/kg chondroitin sulphate — significantly higher than most other ZIWI recipes — alongside 1,000 mg/kg glucosamine for joint support. Inulin from chicory root feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Dried organic kelp provides natural iodine. Gently air-dried using ZIWI's Z-TWINTECH® process to preserve raw-equivalent nutrition without refrigeration or prep. No grains, no rendered meals, no artificial preservatives. Made entirely in New Zealand.
