Ingredient Analysis

When evaluating a dog food, the first five ingredients can tell you a lot about the quality of a product as they make up the bulk of the product. Ideally, you're looking for quality protein sources with a minimum of cheap starches, fillers or by-products. Continuing down the ingredient list, look for ingredients that resemble real food with a minimal number of unpronounceable chemicals - the same as you would for human food.

ZiwiPeak Moist Rabbit & Lamb includes the following:

Quality Ingredients

  • rabbit meat
  • lamb
  • lamb liver
  • lamb lung
  • lamb kidney
  • lamb tripe
  • lamb heart

Questionable Ingredients

None

Potential Allergens

  • lamb broth
  • lamb
  • lamb liver
  • lamb lung
  • lamb kidney
  • lamb tripe
  • lamb heart
  • new zealand green mussel
  • lamb bone

Note - a bolded ingredient in the above tables indicates it is one of the first five ingredients listed by the product manufacturer.

In this case, ZiwiPeak Moist Rabbit & Lamb's most plentiful ingredient listed is rabbit meat, which is considered a quality protein source. It also contains lamb, lamb liver and lamb lung as additional quality protein sources.

Additionally, it's worth noting that this product does not list either by-products nor bulk-adding fillers within its top ingredients. By-products are considered inferior, lesser quality ingredients. Common fillers typically used to add bulk to the product are not required in your dog's diet. Together, their combined absence may be indicative of a higher quality product.

Allergen alert: This product contains lamb broth, lamb, lamb liver, lamb lung, lamb kidney, lamb tripe, lamb heart, lamb bone and new zealand green mussel which may be problematic for dogs who suffer from lamb or seafood food allergies.

*Note that some nutritional percentages reported are only estimated values, and are indicated as such as (est). Each dog food manufacturer is required by law to publish a Guaranteed Analysis, which defines each product's maximum values of fiber, moisture and ash in addition to the minimum values of protein and fat contained within. Exact nutritional percentages are not available and hence all calculated values (including carbohydrate percentages and calorie amounts) are determined using these minimum and maximum published values and therefore may differ from actual values.
