Does Ziwi have Chicken & Turkey recipes?
I've been building a spreadsheet on my cats diet/costs and while Ziwi is expensive if you feed them either wet OR dried food, you can significantly reduce the cost by feeding both wet AND dry products. My cat's daily caloric requirements are ~200 cal/day: By feeding 1/2 can (92g) and 14g dried (chicken), I can reduce costs by 15% while also reducing the carbohydrate intake from the canned food. You can further reduce costs by 18% by feeding 1/3 can (62g) of wet food (chicken) and 22g of dried (chicken). Again, this is based on my cats caloric needs.
Great insights! Thanks, Edward.
We switched to Ziwi Peak wet food and though it's twice as expensive as the Blue Buffalo our cat was used to when he was young, it's well worth it. I really like that it doesn't have carrageenan, guar gum, or xanthan gum. The artificial binders are very triggering for intestinal inflammation. Benji is doing so much better with his new food and I suspect his coat is softer too.
Yay you reveiwed Ziwi!
This is the only food I feed my cat, he loves it and hes looking much healthier on this
I bought 6 cans of Ziwi's original wet line for my cat to try, all different proteins. She loved every single one! It's expensive, so I think I'll keep it to just a few cans rotated in weekly.
Thanks for reviewing this brand! Is always helpful have an opinion from somebody that have a lot of knowledge of cat brands and cats foods. Thanks also for accepting my suggestion about reviewing this brand,. I use it cause of your website, where you have all the top brands that have used and was very helpful to choose a good brand to feed my cat. You make a great job and I’m fan of all your videos
My cat seemed to enjoy the ziwi peak dry foods, thanks for another great video!
I love this channel💕
Thank you for your videos on cat food choices. They are so incredibly thorough in their presentation. Our three cats have been loving Ziwi for at least a year now, but being expensive we kind of been changing it out at times with a new one that we just discovered - and one that they love too - which is Earthborn Holistic. They seem to love all 6 flavors, but now that I’ve seen your videos, I’ll be checking the extra important aspects on the can (the same with Tiki Cat as well). Your “Smalls” video has us interested too. Thank you again for what you do.
My wife says, "Thank you for your review. We are owned by 2 Tuxedo cats. Our little girl won't touch the Lamb recipe, but our little boy loves it. He has a history of food allergies and cystitis, so he must be on a limited ingredient, wet food.
Despite the chickpeas, his weight remains stable and well within normal range. He gets most of the large can about every 3-4 day cycle, and I actually add some water to it to make a more moist pate. We like the quality of this food and feel it is worth the price. He also likes the other New Zealand brand which is of excellent quality as well and actually has no chickpeas. Both companies seem to have very high standards. We do think that cats are like people though, too often we like the things that aren't as good for us. Since it isn't easy to find foods that he can eat, we are very happy that he likes this one!"
Hahahaha I like that "We are owned by 2 tuxedo cats." I am owned by a ginger girl cat. Funny how a cat takes over a part of your life...
@@thenorthernspinozist397 Who works to provide food, shelter, medical attention, toys and entertainment while they live the life of leisure and luxury? We are their servants while they dole out their affection, so yes, owned.
What is the name of the other new Zealand brand?
Just ordered Thanks
Thx for doing the review for Ziwi peak! They used to be one of the two brands I gave my cats before they transitioned to raw diet! Usually feed their canned food but highly recommend their air dried food when you need to go on a trip!. You are not the only one who complained that their cats are not very interested in the food! One way I would recommend is to ground the jerky up. Sometimes the texture and shape would scare the cats off. But when you ground it, it will be a lot easier for them to eat it. And you can top it onto canner food too to add some extra flavor! Hope this will help!
Thank you, very good information 😺
Thanks so much for reviewing this brand! I've been eyeing it in the pet store all winter (Canada).
Are there any other brands of cat food that contain animal bone (kibble or wet food)?
Thanks for all the research, hat was interesting. I had not heard of this brand before, so I will be looking in to it for my three cats. One thing I've learned about carbs is to check out the food on the glycemic index. Refined products and starchy vegetables are higher, so spike blood sugar & insulin, & causing fat storage. Many veggies are low carb. And since mammals' bodies are run by hormones, strict calorie counting doe not work (& there is no mechanism in the body to count calories). Reducing refined carbs is the healthier way to go. I've noticed too that many cat products have added sugar, such as hairball remedies. Cats definitely do not need sugars.
Ever since I got my kitten 2 months ago, this is all I’ve gotten him and he loves it! I mix a little bit of the dry food with the wet food until the wet food can runs out, so i try to portion the can to 3 meals a day! I’ve also gotten him a new flavor every time it’s time for a new bag or set of cans. I buy him the dry food bag and a 24 pack of wet food and my total is about $130 🥶 but only the best for him!
well done video!
Thank you for this review!!! Super helpful. Could you also maybe look into reviewing Kiwi Kitchen? It's another NZ brand that I can't find much info on. :)
We'll consider it! Thank you.
You should review Nulo cat/kitten food! I’d love to check out more food videos! Thanks so much for all the content!!!
Thank you for the request! We did review Nulo on our site, but we'll also consider it for a video review. Here's a link to the written review: allaboutcats.com/nulo-cat-food-review
Just tried the same dry food on my roommate's boys. I added a little hot water and let it rehydrate for a few minutes. They both dug into it, including the shyer brother. I imagine the mussels are a big plus for taste!
I moved my Bengal, who has IBD, onto the Venison canned food. Really got his problems under control. No more diarrhea which he'd had for months. I would love to find an alternative to this expensive food but for now this is what I'm using and I'm super happy about the outcome. I wish the reviewer had directly named the 'just as good alternatives' in this video. I'll go watch her 10-best video now... :)
Hi Lise, that's a great idea-I didn't think to mention comparable alternatives. The first that comes to mind is Feline Natural. Koha Pet also offers some comparable options that will be particularly good for your IBD kitty.
Proud to live in NewZealand
Thanks for the review
(The price are honestly the middle range price of food available here for pets about the same price as the majority of pet food here)
Here a lot of brands aren’t available just the standard Purina whiskas fancy feast
Royal cannin hills applelaws iams and a couple other budget branded foods
I think it's more expensive here in the U.S. and Canada is because it's imported from New Zealand. Greetings from California.
hello fello kiwi
The canned food still has more meat and less plant matter than the cheaper brands out there. They also have a line that has absolutely no chickpeas.
I’d love to see you review the Moderna Cat Concept 3 in 1 litter box if you ever get the chance! Been considering it for ages.
Hi there! We'll consider it. Thank you!
My cats only really like the rabbit flavour. But they ALL love love love the new ziwi peak kahawai. It’s a single protein, high water content for older cats. I’d love you to review it. All of my cats are obsessed.
Got my boy Smokey on the Hoki wet food every second day and he goes mad for it! He’s looking super shiny ( pretty normal ) and his poops are solid! Aces
Please review the I and Love and You brand. Thank You.
I just wish ziwi was available in stores! I alternate between ziwi peak air dried and wet with origin dry and wet when I can't order
It took a morning of calling around... I found a pet groomer whose store didn't carry Ziwi for cats (just for dogs), but she told me where I could find Ziwi since she buys it for her own cat.
It was a 30-minute drive for just a few cans bc we are experimenting, but you may be able to find it by asking around... unless you're truly in the boonies.
love this brand!!! it's the best but only bought cans. just wish it wasnt 5-7$ a can 😭😭 I had to switch due to the price.
I haven't tried the dry food because of the price could you tell me how long a single bag lasted with your cat to get an idea of monthly cost
Please do litter mats! Best anti tracking :)
I have been feeding my female 1 year old cat for a month now with Ziwi. She does not like it very much like the previous kibble Taste of the Wild brand. I do have to mix it with regular wet food for her to eat more. I also noticed she is not pooing regularly, so after 1 month and only 2 poos later I decided to go back to regular feeding. She seems happier. Unfortunately she did not adapt. Guess I can save money now!
Thank you very much for this information. It is a fine product...my cat likes it! And yes, it is a bit expensive, but well worth it.
Do you notice bones in the food? The reviews I’ve read mentioned bone fragments that may be unsafe for cats to consume.
@@ericapoe There are small bone shards, yes! Felines can safely eat uncooked bones, in fact, it should be included in their diet. Cooked bones can splinter and would be unsafe for them, however.
Id love a review on the Petkit pura x automatic litter box! So far it looks like the most aesthetically pleasing one on the market available to me however there still isn’t many reviews available online since its still quiet new
Noted! Thank you.
Give us a heads-up on what cat foods are decently priced and are nutritious.
I bought Ziwi peak air dried, was shocked at the price and the cats WILL NOT EAT IT.
I'd love to see a dedicated Acana cat food review video!
Soon! Thank you.
I Want to get this for my Cats!
Ziwi wet food (especially Lamb and Venison) has been excellent btw are you going to review Identity Pet Nutrition ? seems like a high quality wet cat food
Also, please review Zealandia cat food. I’d love to hear your thoughts
Catit has started selling their own version of the air dried cat food (Gold Fern) similar to Ziwi Peak's. Would be interesting to see a comparison.
Ooh, good share. Thank you!
Can you please do a review on Acana cat food?🙏🏾
Could you Please do a review on Acana Cat food.
I would love an Aldi cat food review and a 4health from tractor supply!!
Me as well.
Same!
yess!
Read the label.
My cat really hated the Aldi food so that’s all I can say.
4health is made by Diamond and practically identical to their normal label. My dad has fed his dog 4Health pretty much her entire life and she’s 16.
Hy there I never hear about this cat food and i think in Slovenia We dont have it But it looks like my cats will love it and its good for them too 🐾🐾🐈😻cant wait for next reviw 😉
Hi Slovenia, German out of USA here. You could try to see if Amazon got it or write the Company and see if they can help out by sending it to you. Greetings to you and your Cat. 🤗
@@sunshineammorgen1365 thank you so much I will look for it 💕 are you having cats to and how many do you have 🐾🐈😻😉
Suggestion: I’d be interested in your review on Nulo Freestyle Duck & Lentils Recipe Grain-Free Indoor Dry Cat Food. It’s available on Chewy & cost about $43 for a 12 or 14 lb bag.
Thanks for your wonderful in depth reviews, I find them incredibly beneficial.
Hi there! Thank you for the request. We plan to review Nulo soon, so stay tuned!
Can you do a review of solid gold I started feeding my cat solid gold because the ingredients looks really good but it contain fruits and vegetables so I’m not sure how good they are.
I had looked into the Ziwi brand (wet only) for my senior cat but the cost is a bit much for my budget. However, I'm going to request you consider doing a deep dive review on the "I and Love and You" brand. :-)
I too requested a review of the I and Love and You brand
We will consider it! Thank you.
Hi Mallory, Would you do a review on Honest Kitchen , Please?
Thanks for reviewing. High quality but expensive. If I could afford their wet food, I would rather go with freeze dried food.
Could you please do sheba?
Can you please do a review for a HappyCat product my cats love to eat them
Could you do a review on Stella & Chewy, Please
Yes, we can do that soon!
Hi Mallory, Could you Please do a review on Stella & Chewy cat food?
We hope to review it here soon! In the meantime, you can read our review on the All About Cats website: allaboutcats.com/stella-chewys-cat-food-review
Hi Mallory, Could You do a review on Feline Nature Please
One of the best foods for pets!
Please review Orijen, Feringa and Hills (this one is a prescription diet). They are popular here :3
Noted! Thanks for the request.
@@AllAboutCatsYT Thank you very much, have a nice day
Hi! Love your videos, and have found them so very helpful as a first-time cat mom. Might you consider reviewing Purina Pro Plan True Nature wet food in the future? :)
Keep in mind that not only is this food rich in muscle and bone. It is also basically all ORGANIC. Compare that to the "high end" food that uses animals that have been fed and raised horrendously, this is as good a cat food as you can get. Another reason for the higher prices. Raising all organic is much more expensive to make than raising feed on grain junk, byproducts and chemically "enhanced" food.
Nice assessment of Ziwi Peak - I have not purchased their air-dried food for a long time - didn't know it came with a scoop - that's nice.
Palatability is a problem with Ziwi Peak - unfortunately. Mine also go in and out of interest with it - but they will usually always eat the Mackerel and Lamb and Rabbit canned foods.
Could you please do a video of the most popular and health cat food for picky cats ? It’s so hard to find the food that my cat likes.
Good idea! We'll consider it.
I love the ingredients but my cats wont touch it! Luckily i buy them a lot of fresh meat to go along with a (still high quality) kibble and wet food. Sometimes i go spear fishing and give them some of the fish organs, skin and flesh. You can't get fresher that that
Can you please review Verus Pet Food? They market themselves as a holistic brand and offer only kibble and wet food for cats and dogs.
Could you possibly do a review on primal?
We'll consider it, Rea!
Would be interested in reviewing Thrive brand wet food please?
We'll consider it! You can read the written review on the All About Cats website here: allaboutcats.com/thrive-cat-food-review
I think the intro would be nicer if you took out the music, maybe replace it with the sound of a cat meowing or purring or something like that? That would make more unique and cute lol. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you review Koha Pet foods? They are a limited diet food and wanted to know your opinion on them. Thanks
Hi Erica, I've taken down your request and we'll consider it for a future video. Thank you!
The wet food passed my checklist except for the chickpeas. Kinda wonder how would i know if my cat not struggling to digest it.
Мне тоже нравится кошки и наблюдать заними ухаживать
In terms of dry food, its complete right? It looks like the best I have evert seen so far!
Yep.
Some of this food looks better than what I make
What about a review on Feline Natural :)
We'll consider it! Thanks.
Can you review Performatrin Ultra?
We'll consider it! Thank you.
My cat hated the canned Ziwi stuff after the first day. Especially the Mackerel recipe. After one day the food started attracting flies and it smelled like excrement. I bought a couple of cans. And even after putting it in the fridge after opening that didn't work ether. The expiration date was 2 years away.
You're supposed to use the can entirely the day you open it.
That brand looks soooo good! The food I give two of my cats would rate 3/10, sadly. They need hydrolyzed proteins and that's expensive, so the manufacturers use sh*tty raw materials, and charge you a fortune.... I get so envious when I see what good quality food I could buy if they tolerated normal proteins....
Thanks for the video, as always!
Have you tried several novel proteins? The vet/prescription ones are more highly regulated against cross contamination of other proteins. Before deciding to cook rabbit for my cat's food trial, I was considering Rayne's food. I decided to cook for him because like you said, the hydrolyzed protein diets are pretty low quality with mostly carbs. There's not many options for novel protein diets that are decent either (my vet said the Blue Buffalo alligator one has been talked about in nutritionist circles as iffy because of their quality control standards). If your cats aren't on a hydrolyzed protein diet because of food allergies, sorry it doesn't apply to you, but maybe will be helpful to others.
@@foodie_oboist thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I've tried many novel protein diets, supervised by my vet. However, an allergy does not seem to be the case of my cats, as those diets didn't work, and hydrolyzed protein food made of chicken suits them....so chicken (which is the first meat they ate) is not the problem! It looks like they lack the enzymes to digest proteins, and that's why they need them hydrolyzed.... It is frustrating but I guess low quality food that they can digest is better than diarrhea and malnutrition because of quality food they cannot digest....
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
@@barhernan153 Oh wow, I'm assuming they're siblings if they both have this issue that I assume is pretty rare? And yes, low quality food is better than no food!
ZP is the only dry food I would (and do) ever give to my cats but in combination with cooked food. Is a pity they put chickpeas in their wet formula which is also the only reason I dnt buy it. The carbs are just too hight for a cat. :(
Could you consider review Vigor & Sage? This brands seems new and good but lack of reviews to give a try :(
Hi Aaron, I've made a note to consider reviewing this brand in the future! Thank you.
Please do a review on SolidGold and CarniLove.
We'll consider both! Thanks.
My cats do not like Ziwi. I have a bunch of it, still trying to get my cats to finish it... I do like the little scoop that comes with the dry food.
Be aware that the dehydrated Kiwi food contains a very high ratio of protein. My veterinarian, in Canada, took my 10 year old cat off this food because of that problem.
Her other issue was the fact that re-hydration of all freeze dried foods is VITAL. It has been suggested that because cats are not generally good drinkers, feeding this dry can lead to severe dehydration of the cat.
Just my own experience with one veterinarian's opinion. I suggest you check and trust your own doctor's advice.
Why would an obligate carnivore have issues with too much protein? ur right abt dehydration and wet food being best overall
@@pukapikachu kidney function still has a limit - excess protein and phosphorous are damaging to the kidneys. Especially when most cats will eat a high protein diet but then live very sedentary indoor lives with none of the normal moisture that a real meat meal would have - also, in the wild, animals that eat meat also eat soluble fibers and moisture and roughage/vegetables in the digested matter of the prey animal. This means people have misunderstandings on what "obligate carnivore means" - feeding extra protein or fats are not the only things needed in a diet to simulate the natural diet.
Did your cats eat it? My one cat was allergic to chicken and it was difficult to find any canned food that didn't have chicken in it. This was one of the options, but the price was so high I couldn't afford it and it seemed occasionally it was "out of stock" which makes it difficult. Thanks for your video.
Hi Betty, my cats do eat the chicken canned food, but they didn't seem fond of any of the other recipes.
I will say I have one *extremely* picky cat and he does like most ziwi recipes, particularly the east cape, rabbit & lamb, and venison. He's not big on the fish recipes. (My other cat has a poultry intolerance so we don't buy the poultry-based recipes.)
Does anyone know how Ziwi compares to Kiwi? Our local shop sells Kiwi cat food, it is also a brand from New Zealand.
Good question! We'll have to look into that.
Excellent idea.
So could I use Ziwi dry cat food to replace my cat’s dry food? My cats are on Purina and I want to get them something better quality.
take a shot every time mallory says ‘new zealand’
Perhaps the price of good cat food is not so bad when considering that a vet bill generally starts at 300 dollars and goes up from there. Plus you are feeding your cat, which we have to do anyway. If we are what we eat so is our cats. This is how I rationalize the price I pay for decent cat food. It is either feed your kitty well or later on pay a vet when our cats' health begins to fail.
I've seen this as a "dry food" but I would gather way more moisture than most dry foods. I've had a cat that loved the stuff. I haven't bought it years. $$$$$. But it does go a long ways.
A little more moisture. Typical dry food is between 8-12% moisture, and this is up to 14% moisture.
@@AllAboutCatsYT Didn't mean to imply it was like wet food--think of more in the dehydrated food, like jerky or some toppers. Doesn't really. quite fit any of these--since it is meant to be a food vs a treat.
I started using Feline Natural wet food, love their ingredients. Is a bit more expensive but I only have the 1 cat right now. I looked into Ziwi Peak and the only line I enjoyed is even more expensive than the cans you are showing here, I was shocked at the price. The Provenance canned food line has awesome ingredients, no chickpeas but the price, yikes.
Feline naturals was just bought out by a big bank, so hope they still offer great nutrition. Ziwi is good, tiki cat is like them also.
Ziwipeak was purchased recently by a private chinese equity firm.
Side note my cats go nuts for this food but we use it for their kong toys; more as day time snacks since it’s so pricey
My cat looks that doesn't like anymore Stella's & Chewy's so I'm considering to change to another food do you think this one is a good option? I'm looking for the most similar food to Stella's (dried food, the one you can add water) can you recommend me something :)?
Hey Alec, I'd consider Vital Essentials patties; they're not the same shape, but once they're rehydrated, they're quite similar to S&C freeze-dried food.
I feed my cats exclusively ZiwiPeak wet food mixed with a bit of water as my research indicates cats can suffer from kidney issues with a low water diet.
I also brush their teeth daily to make up for the teeth health benefits of crunching into dry food.
I was not really aware of the downsides of the high carbohydrates in the ZiwiPeak wet food.
Would you have any recommendationa on how to balance this issue? Is there another high quality brand I could rotate with? Or should I just switch one meal per day to their dry food.
Thanks for the informative video.
Hi Ryan, you can try any of the other recommendations from our article on the best wet cat food: allaboutcats.com/reviews/best-canned-cat-food
i double checked with lisa piersons chart an its 6% for the lamb
Hi! Just discovered you and your reviews. Why have I not find you earlier 😭. I think everyone who's looking through all your videos means everyone is looking to switch the food for their cat. For dry food switching, it's easy.. Buy the small pack and allow the cat to explore it's new food and not breaking my wallet as wastage if it doesn't like it. But for wet food, in your opinion. How many cans is appropriate? Taking the can as the small standard canned wet food. How many cans is an appropriate amount to buy for testing with my cat. I understand all cats are different with accepting new food. But in general, to ascertain that a cat somewhat loves it (easily observed, wary and takes time (this one I think in general) and totally hates it (probably 1 day won't even eat and just prefer the eating the dry ones even when theres wet food available next to it) I'm not sure like is 2 cans enough? Or 12 cans 😂 would love your input on this and looking forward to your reply! I'm gonna binge on your videos. Keep going on your video content. I'm already in love after watching 2 FULL from start till finish with no skips. Haha!
To tell you the truth I am lost actually 😭. I use to give my cat schesir canned food as recommended by a friend. My cat LOVED it and would look forward to eating it. And then it came crashing. Suddenly after months of eating it's wet food. He vomits it out. I brush it of thinking. Mehhhh hairball. Just once. So I stopped. Resume afew days later. But then he seem to increase its vomit with the brand as in he doesn't vomit the food after he devours it. It'll be after a few days. He'll vomit it and the frequency seems to increase. I don't know why and vet says he's ok. So I'm thinking of changing the wet food to another reputable brand. I'm assuming he don't like it anymore? So he vomits it out? As a show to his owner 'pls get me another kind I don't like it' if there is such a thing. 😂
It really depends on the cat and the food, but generally, it will take between 1 and 2 weeks to finish the transition to a new food. Again, the number of cans is going to depend on the food and cat, but assuming a gradual transition, I'd shoot for 5-10 cans to get you through that transitional period.
As for why your cat is suddenly vomiting his new food, it's realy hard to say what went wrong. There may have been a formulation change or perhaps the issue is coming from something else your cat is eating. I would experiment with another food to get a better handle on the situation.
Can you give me some ideas of a good can ned cat food for kidney disease cat. I've tried all the prescriptions once she's not crazy about it at all so I figured if I could at least find a canned food that is a little lower and phosphorus maybe that would work for now cuz I need to get weight back on her she's very thin and she does not like raw I have tried raw diets can patties and such as the only foods I really can get her to even halfway eat I looked at ziwi peak foods but they're a little higher in phosphorus. Or at least according to the chart that that Tanya comprehensive guide has online that tells you the phosphorus. So any ideas would be wonderful thank you
Hi there. You might appreciate some of the foods listed here: allaboutcats.com/best-cat-food-for-kidney-disease
The list includes a few non-prescription options that your cat may appreciate. Wishing you all the best!
@@AllAboutCatsYT only seen two on that list but the recalls were high and your rating wasn't very good on those foods..but thanks.if you have any other ideas let me know .at this point I need something descent she's to thin.and if I could get weight on her then I could go back to try the script food
Can you feed this to kittens or only full grown cats?????
it's a great ferret food!
Ur cat is gorgeous
Was going to give our cat a try of this as looking for an alternate wet food but was hoping to find information on the consistency before doing so and now see that it's pate style which our cat doesn't like. His preference is more gravy style. Even if we mix water in, he knows and he won't eat it. Bummer.
I seem to be able to find a lot of reviews on quality dry food but not wet. I will keep searching. I often find with a lot of these 'higher end' brands, you have to purchase in bulk which is risky when introducing a new food to a cat when they cost so much per can, even when buying in a larger quantity!
You might like some of the Tiki Cat After Dark varieties. They are flaky in gravy with organ meats as well as the muscle meat, so they're nutritionally closer to Ziwi than other Tiki Cat recipes.
I've tried both the wet and dehydrated, cats will not eat it :( (4 of them)!
This is what I’m looking for to switch my cats to... my Maine coon has had chronic diarrhoea for years :( sometimes with blood. Everything comes back normal from the vet and she’s been dewormed. Now on antibiotics to see if that helps. I’m so tired of her runny poops. They are just soooo smelly and it must be not very nice for her either poor love. Idk. I’m lost!! Off the vet recommended royal canin allergic thingy whatever dry food to rule out allergies lol. Agh. I just... I don’t like the ingredients. I’m lost. I just don’t know what to do and what will be the best diet for her. And for my other cat I know she definitely need the meat. I think she’d prefer fully raw but I’m not quite ready for that yet.
I wonder tho if my cat (without the issues) would like the consistency more. When I give her the normal typical chunks in gravy or whatever she licks all the gravy stuff off and leave all the food oml. Fck.
I got the ziwi peak venison canned food for my cats. it smells like spoiled meat when I open the can. my cats won't touch it. anyone else have this problem?
How to store ziwi peak canned food when open?
In the refrigerator.
My cat loves this food! It’s pricey!
