Nope.
Addiction does make dehydrated raw in addition to their kibble and canned, but Ziwi Peak is an independent company in New Zealand.
Because it is made overseas, it can be difficult to find in stores, and rather pricey. You can also order it on Amazon.

Great, I'll never be able to get it. I might as well live on the moon.
ETA - what's your opinion of the addiction kibble? good? pricey? worth the price?

My opinion of Addiction is based solely on having read their ingredients, etc. I haven't had the opportunity to feed it yet, as we got sidetracked by finding Ziwi Peak in the local natural pet store.
We're personally reserving Addiction brands as novel proteins, should we have an animal develop allergies.
Many of their kibbles appear equal in quality to Orijen, EVO, etc, and on that merit alone, I'm not sure that it warrants seeking out the harder to find food.
If you're seeking out novel proteins, however, I think they're irreplaceable.

There is a supplier that might carry it, they carry Addiction and HK (JUST started with them, so might have Ziwi Peak), but I'm just confused about the form of it.

Awesome! I love photos of banal things! Do you know the approximate cost per... day to feed say an 85lb GSD? I can't say cost per cup, because it seems like the measurements compared to normal kibble would be way off.
eta - My dog is one of the "lucky" few who is intolerant to chicken, even "real" organic raw (poached) skinless, boneless chicken - the the point where even an ounce or 2 causes bad diarrhea. SO, you could say I need novel proteins.

It's not "saponins" I don't want to give; it's potatoes. And it's the quantity, IMO, more than whether it's potato or a non-gluten grain (for most dogs). That is, I would rather give a little rice than a lot of potato. And I'd rather give a little potato than a lot of any grain.
That makes perfect sense. Just reading through the ingredient list of several "better quality" foods, I have a hard time comparing costly foods like Orijen from a mid-range like TOTW. My assumption is that the actual meat content is higher in Orijen than in TOTW, but trying to compare them is tough.
I have about 5 different windows open on my PC right now, trying to compare several foods - Orijen, TOTW, Chicken Soup, Cal Natural, etc. If I had to decide between these foods, I wouldn't be able to without a lot of analyzing and probably losing sleep at night.

At the price I've found Ziwi Peak at, most places, it would cost about $6 USD per day to feed a moderate-to-high activity level 85lb GSD a diet of nothing but Ziwi Peak.
Mixing Ziwi Peak with something like THK would obviously decrease that cost, and I've found it to be a nice addition to THK- it does not "rehydrate", but it does impart a very nice meaty gravy consistency to the THK, and I think the ingredient list make it a nice compliment.
