Transitioning Your Pet to ZIWI
To transition your pet to ZIWI Peak®, gradually mix it with their current food over a period of 7 days. Increase the amount of ZIWI each day until reaching the recommended daily portion, while proportionally reducing the amount of their existing food to maintain balance.
ZIWI differs from many other pet foods due to its nutrient-dense formulation. As a result, you will feed your pet a smaller volume compared to other foods that contain fillers.
