ZIWI

Innovation is in our nature

Our mission is to deliver peak nutrition without compromise. We do this by crafting our foods in our New Zealand kitchens using only the best ingredients nature has to offer, and the best preparation methods available (or where we can’t find one, we create one!). This is where the best of nature meets the best of innovation.

Our kitchens

Our kitchens

You’ll find ZIWI®’s innovative kitchens right here in New Zealand, not far away from the lush pastures, rugged landscapes, and cool pristine waters where our ingredients are sourced. We like to keep things local.

Inside, you’ll find a passionate team of pet lovers, dedicated to ensuring every serving of ZIWI meets our high standards (and the high standards of your furry friend). It’s also where all the innovation happens, including our Z-TWINTECH® air-dried technology.

Why air-dried?

We call it Z-TWINTECH air-dried technology. The process maintains the nutritional integrity of the ingredients for your pet, while making it convenient for you.

  • Complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages

  • Our most convenient raw alternative, perfect for home and travel

  • An enticing texture and smell which is perfect for picky eaters

  • Cats and dogs are carnivores, and ZIWI Peak® is made to meet their carnivorous needs

  • Doesn't crumble, making for a great training reward

  • Nutrient-dense, meaning that you feed less compared to traditional kibble
