ZIWI Peak have come through with another huge announcement! The much-anticipated Steam & Dried recipes are finally here!
These recipes boast an impressive 85% premium animal ingredients, including ethically sourced beef, lamb and chicken. Packed with functional elements and combining delicate micro-steaming with gentle air-drying to lock in nutrition and create a light, palatable texture dogs love, they not only satisfy canine cravings but also support digestive health, ensuring happy, healthy pups with every meal. What truly sets the range apart is affordability without compromise. ZIWI believe that every pet deserves the best, which is why their Steam & Dried range offers high quality nutrition at an accessible price point.
These will be available in our Store very soon! Please let us know if you are interested in ordering from this range as we would like to gather expressions of interest before finalising orders. This will obviously change as the community here grows.

Number 1 (Australia) joins the community!

Japanese Spitz Australia are thrilled to unveil something we've eagerly been working on behind the scenes for quite a while. We have been successful in establishing a relationship with Number 1 (Australia), the company responsible for their flagship brand, ZIWI Peak, as well as a selection of other innovative Australian brands including Bell & Bone, NORM, ONE (with everything!), Shy Tiger, Simply Seaweed, The Paw Grocer and The Pet Project.
Who are Number 1 (Australia)?
Number 1 (Australia) was established in 2013 and are dedicated to delivering top-tier brands for canine and feline consumption. As a full-service distributor of natural pet products locally sourced from Australia and New Zealand, they take pride in their consistent growth and rapid expansion of the products they represent.
How can you get your hands on these products?
We're extremely excited to be given the opportunity to sell all of these products to members of this community! We are still working on how to best set this up, as there are small hurdles I need to get around using this software and to fine-tune the logistics. It also opens us up to having competitions and special offers in the future which will make being a member of this community that much more exciting.
To get the ball rolling though, please let us know if you are interested in any of these products as I would really appreciate gathering expressions of interest before finalising the first few orders blindly.
Join us in celebration!
Join us in celebrating this milestone and be among the first to give your Japanese Spitz the balanced and nutritious diet they really deserve. Your feedback and support will be valuable in shaping what this community can offer its members, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts.
