Ingredient Review
Our review of Ziwi Peak Venison Grain-Free Air-Dried Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Venison - Meat. Venison meat comes from an elk, deer, or antelope. In pet food, venison meat can be an excellent source of protein, iron, vitamin B12, and many other essential nutrients to support your companion’s well-being. Venison meat can be a novel protein in diets for pets with sensitivities, too.
The second ingredient is Venison - Liver. Venison liver is organ meat from an elk, deer, or antelope. In pet food, venison liver can be an excellent source of protein, iron, vitamin B12, and many other essential nutrients including the important minerals zinc, copper, iron, and selenium. Venison liver can be a source of novel protein for pets with allergies.
The third ingredient is Lung. Lung is exactly what it sounds like: lung tissue from animals that have been slaughtered for consumption. This might not sound appetizing to most of us but in pet food, lung can be a good source of protein, iron, vitamin C, and other nutrients.
The fourth ingredient is Tripe. Tripe is lining from an animal’s stomach. In pet food, tripe can serve as a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals including vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium.
The fifth ingredient is Heart. n/a
After the fifth ingredient, the list includes all remaining ingredients. It’s worth noting that ingredients (other than nutritional supplements) located this far down on the list aren’t likely to have an impact on the overall rating of this Ziwi Peak Venison Grain-Free Air-Dried Dog Food.
