ABOUT US
Terry Horsfall and Alan Keyes ignited their passion for ZIWI and outstanding pet nutrition by running a very successful Bondi petstore, Bowhouse, from 2007 to 2013. In 2013, after relocating to NSW’s South Coast and closing the doors of Bowhouse, the company now known as Number 1 (Australia) Pty Ltd was established. with a focus on niche high quality brands for canine/feline consumption.
Our core brand ZIWI Peak has grown from a niche brand into being almost ubiquitous. Number 1 has expanded to distribute the Australian and New Zealand brands HempPet, Bell & Bone, WAG, Beasty, One for Everything, and Healthy Everyday Pets.
At Number 1, we have a dedicated Veterinary Operations team, with team members who have worked in the veterinary field. This team is here to provide support and advice to your clinic about the products and services we offer.
