YorkieTalk Newbie! | Raw Diet This is my first post and I found this site because I am wondering whether I could communicate with other Yorkies owners who are using Ziwipeak raw diet. I am transitioning to the venison now. My little dog seems to have developed allergies to something in dry kibbles. He really likes it but now seems hungry all the time. The amount of food is so much smaller in volume than what he was used to in dry food. Would welcome any/all I put on this. |

| Hello!! I feed a frozen pre-made/formulated raw diet by Bravo! and my boys are thriving. Are you feed a freeze dried diet or a frozen diet by ZiwiPeak?? If it's freeze dried, I just want to forewarn you about the fat content in freeze dried raw. It can be very high. I give my boys freeze dried raw only for lunch/snack b/c it's so high in fat. The fat percentage on the frozen raw I feed 6.17%. Looks like the Ziwi freeze dried is 27% and very high, they have a canned formula which is 7%. Viv

Based on the guaranteed analysis, the dry matter comparison would be: Frozen Chubs & Burgers Crude Protein (min%) 13.53% Crude Fiber (max%) 0.5% Crude Fat (min%) 6.39% Moisture (max%) 75.58% To determine the amount of protein on a dry matter basis, divide the reported amount of protein (in this case, 13.53%) by the total amount of dry matter (24.42%). Then, multiply the result by 100. Dry Matter Protein Content = (13.53/24.42) x 100 = 55.40% Dry Matter Crude Fat Content = (6.39/24.42) x 100 = 26.16% The higher the fat content, the lower the protein content and vice versa. As is evident above, the Bravo product is comparable to the dehydrated Ziwi Peak product in terms of fat%. That is how it is with raw feeding.
