Furry PI's verdict

Our investigation gives Ziwi Peak Mackerel Recipe a solid report. Mackerel leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — chickpeas and potassium chloride sit high on the list without being animal protein. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.

What's concerning

  • Among its leading ingredients, chickpeas and potassium chloride aren't counted as animal protein, and the top of the list is where cats need meat most — the main thing that kept it from a higher grade.

What works

  • Mackerel leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • A strong share of its calories comes from protein.
  • As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
