Editor’s Note & Product Update: This review originally featured sample products provided by A Dog's Best Life, which is sadly no longer operating. Please note that ZIWI Peak has also since discontinued the Provenance range to focus on their core air-dried and wet food lines. You can explore ZIWI’s full range of current dog foods directly on the official ZIWI Peak Australia website.
New Ziwi Peak Provenance Dog Food Has Landed in Australia
A Dog's Best Life, one of the latest Ziwi resellers, kindly brought this range to our attention last month and glancing at the premium quality and novelty of the ingredients, we could not wait to trial the new Provenance range with our pack.
This is a much welcome addition to Ziwi’s mainly single source protein foods; some of you may remember we reviewed their Lamb Air-Dried Cuisine recipe back in early 2016!
Introducing the Ziwi Provenance range
The new Ziwi Peak Provenance dog food range features three different recipes, all comprising a variety of five meats and fish, ethically and sustainably sourced in New Zealand.
These new recipes contain 96% meat, seafood, organs and bone, with authentic ratios to mirror a natural diet for our canine friends, with an added superfood blend of cold-washed tripe, NZ green mussels and kelp to deliver peak nutrition.
The food is slow and gently air-dried to lock in nutrients without the need for artificial preservatives, and is a great ready-serve alternative to a raw diet.
Ziwi Provenance Recipes:
From ancient mountains to alpine valleys, this diverse region is the inspiration behind ZIWI® Peak’s Otago Valley Provenance recipe. Featuring beef, venison and lamb—all free-range and grass-fed on Otago’s native grasses—and wild-caught fish (southern blue whiting, hoki) from the South Island’s subantartic waters.
✔️ East Cape:
The first place on earth to see the sunrise, New Zealand’s spectacular East Cape is the inspiration behind ZIWI® Peak’s East Cape Provenance recipe. Featuring free-range mutton and goat combined with a blend of wild-caught fish (whole kawahai, whole trevally, whole mackerel) from Cape Reinga.
✔️ Hauraki Plains:
Named in Maori for its gentle winds, the fertile farmlands of the Hauraki Plains are the inspiration and the ingredient source for ZIWI® Peak’s Hauraki Plains Provenance recipe. This delicious blend of poultry (duck, turkey, chicken, eggs) and wild-caught fish (whole kawahai).
Feeding calculators, full ingredient lists and guaranteed analysis are available for each recipe so worth having a read especially if your dog may be allergic to some ingredients.
