I received a free sample of the chicken flavor: ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Free-Range Chicken For Cats | Ziwi Pets and I was wondering what everyone's opinion of it was.
I was drawn to their claim of how "gentle air-drying process naturally preserves the nutritional value of 96% Meat, Organs, Bone and New Zealand Green Mussel".
It sounds way healthier than normal kibble. The only downside I see with it is the low protein (38% min for the chicken), but since my boys get about three wet meals a day (Rawz and Tiki Cat After Dark) and eventually I plan on only giving them some dry at night once they are old enough to stop free-feeding (I also want to go raw), I figured the low protein wouldn't be a big deal. If the dry was all they ate, then I'd see an issue, but you guys are more experienced in cat nutrition than I am.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on this food? I don't know yet if my boys will like it since they are sleeping (I gave them a few pieces as a treat and they ate it, but not sure how they will feel about it in the bowl), but if they do, I don't want to buy a bag if the food would somehow cause harm to them.
I've tried Dr. Elsey's, but they avoided their bowls like the plague when it was in there. Same with Rawz's dry.
