Quality Ingredients First: What Goes into Zealandia’s Canned Foods?

Quality Ingredients First: What Goes into Zealandia’s Canned Foods?


At Zealandia, we are committed to providing pets with a diet rooted in quality, transparency, and wholesome ingredients. Our canned foods are crafted using only the finest cuts of meat and nutrient-rich organs from the human consumption chain. Here, we’ll break down what’s in each can and the specific benefits of the lamb ingredients we use to support your pet’s health and vitality.

Real Meat as the Foundation

In every can of Zealandia, you’ll find that deboned muscle meat is the first ingredient. This focus on high-quality meat ensures your pet receives an optimal source of protein, supporting their muscles, energy levels, and overall well-being. We use quality cuts, like chicken breast or lamb meat, ensuring your pet benefits from the best nature has to offer.

The Nutrient-Rich Lamb Base

Alongside muscle meat, we incorporate a base of selected lamb organs, including **lamb liver, lamb lung, lamb kidney, lamb green tripe, and lamb heart**. Each of these ingredients is listed transparently on our ingredients panel, providing reassurance that there are no hidden byproducts—just high-quality organs that enhance the nutritional profile of your pet’s meal. Here’s how each organ supports your pet’s health:

- **Lamb Liver**: Rich in essential vitamins like A, B12, and folic acid, lamb liver helps promote healthy vision, immune function, and cellular health. It’s a vital source of iron, supporting energy production and overall vitality.
 
- **Lamb Lung**: A natural source of protein and low in fat, lamb lung is easily digestible and contributes to lean muscle development. It also provides essential amino acids, helping support a healthy and active lifestyle for your pet.
 
- **Lamb Kidney**: Loaded with vitamins A, B12, and riboflavin, lamb kidney is an excellent source of essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation.
 
- **Lamb Green Tripe**: Known for its probiotic properties, green tripe supports gut health and aids digestion. It contains beneficial enzymes and promotes a balanced digestive system, ensuring your pet absorbs nutrients efficiently.
 
- **Lamb Heart**: As a rich source of CoQ10 and B vitamins, lamb heart supports cardiovascular health and enhances energy production. It provides high-quality protein and essential minerals like phosphorus and zinc for optimal health.

Superfoods from the Sea

To further enhance the nutrition in our canned foods, we include 3% green-lipped mussel meat and salmon oil—superfoods from the sea that offer a range of health benefits. Green-lipped mussels are a powerful source of glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support joint health and reduce inflammation. Salmon oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, promotes a healthy coat, skin, and brain function, ensuring your pet feels their best from the inside out.

No Hidden Byproducts

At Zealandia, we prioritize transparency. Our ingredients are carefully selected and clearly listed on the ingredients panel. We include nutrient-dense lamb organs, not hidden fillers or low-quality byproducts, so you know exactly what’s in your pet’s food.

With Zealandia, you’re choosing a pet food that’s designed to nourish and support your pet, focusing on quality, transparency, and the highest standards of nutrition. Our commitment to quality ingredients means your pet is getting the best from nature in every meal.

Clean & Pure

At Zealandia, we believe in keeping our recipes pure and free from unnecessary additives. That’s why you’ll never find MSG (monosodium glutamate) or hidden “natural flavors” in our canned foods. We don’t use these flavor enhancers because we’re committed to transparency and providing only what’s naturally nutritious. Instead, we rely on the natural richness of real meat and select organs to deliver a wholesome, flavorful meal that your pet will love—without the need for artificial or hidden flavorings. With Zealandia, you can trust that what’s listed on our ingredients panel is exactly what’s inside each can, nothing more and nothing less.
