20 - Air Dried Food with Heather Hickey | ZiwiPeak

In this episode we have a resident expert and VP of sales: Heather Hickey, here to speak about air-dried food options for dogs and cats and why it is an excellent option for your pets! If you have been following the podcast closely, you have already listened to Emily and Toni's take on air-dried food and how we recommend it to our customers. They will dive deeper into this subject matter and learn more about the benefits of a non-heat-processed diet.    Heather talks about what air drying is. The machines they have at their facility and how it slowly and carefully takes a complete and balanced diet, and uses their drying racks in an advanced facility to create a shelf stable product, without over processing the nutrients. Heather then talks about their attention to detail when it comes to sourcing. Because ZiwiPeak is located in New Zealand they have the ability to source their meats from the best farmers in the world. All three women then talk about the importance of protein, and ingredient sourcing. What goes into the food really is what makes it high quality. Finally Toni and Emily ask Heather about their recent acquisition of a Chinese Investment company. Heather divulges into how involved the company is with ZiwiPeak, why they invested and some of the changes they have seen.
