Sample Dry Food for Cat Chicken

Ziggy cat food is unique! It's been developed by feline nutrition expert Doctor Géraldine Blanchard, a vet with 25-years of experience. It contains only high-quality proteins, very low carbs, and very little phosphorus for a happy and healthy cat! And all ingredients are listed on the back of the packaging for complete transparency and peace of mind.

Our dry and wet food are not exclusively intended for neutered adult cats. We have different ranges of products:

💛 For Kittens (up to 12 months):

You'll find wet food and dry food for kittens. These are developed to fully nourish a neutered kitten, but quantities must be adjusted.

😻 For Adult Cats:

You'll find a whole range of wet food for adult cats recipes, as well as dry food for adult cats, for both neutered and intact adult cats.

The wet food for intact adult cats is slightly more caloric than those for neutered adult cats, which is why we specifically design our products this way.

The nutritional needs of adult cats, whether neutered or intact, remain the same. It's only the caloric requirement that drops by 20% after neutering. The idea's simply to adjust the daily portion according to your cat's caloric needs. For this, you can use our Daily Portion Calculator.

💙 For Cats with conditions: We've developed a Vet range to support diabetic cats, cats with renal impairment, or cats suffering from urinary problems. We're working on future products to assist cats with other conditions in their daily lives.

Our recipes have been formulated by Dr Géraldine Blanchard, a veterinary specialising in feline nutrition. Our high-quality wet food is formulated around the most advanced knowledge in feline nutrition.

We only have a range of dry food for neutered adult cats, which you can give to your senior cat as a supplement to his senior wet food.

As we don't use carcass scraps, our phosphorus levels are very low. You can find the exact level on each product sheet in the ‘analytical composition’ category.

As a general rule, however, we recommend a predominantly wet food diet, especially for older cats, for a number of reasons:

- Wet food is less caloric than Dry food! The risk of becoming overweight or obese for a cat fed primarily or entirely on Wet food drops significantly.

- Wet food, when it represents at least 75% of the diet of a neutered and sedentary cat, reduces the risk of developing diabetes. All our wet food is also grain-free (a major source of carbs) and sugar-free!

- Thanks to Wet food, cats take on more water than if they were to drink alongside their Dry food. This results in increased urine production, and a reduced risk of developing urinary problems.

- at Ziggy, we are not minimalists, we provide essential nutrients in generous amounts. The first visible signs of This being a beautiful coat.

- Finally, by choosing quality wet food, you're investing in your cat’s health and saving on vet bills.

You can therefore feed your senior cat our wet food, as well as our dry food as a supplement. 😺

We recommend planning a dietary transition when significantly changing your cat's diet.

At Ziggy, all our cat dry and wet food recipes are very high quality, and the compositions are very similar. So there's no need to make the transition from one Ziggy flavour to another, as there's no risk of digestive problems.

Whether you're switching from the kitten to the adult range, or simply want to vary the flavours, you won't need to make another transition! 😺

Cats like to cling to their habits; they don't always like change! For a successful dietary transition, both in terms of digestion and behavior, we recommend incorporating Ziggy's wet food gradually into their diet. If you need personalized nutritional support, you can download our E-book on how to manage a gentle dietary transition.

Here's what we recommend for a successful dry food transition:

Mix a little Ziggy into their usual dry food and serve as normal.

- Day 1: 10% ZIGGY - 90% Usual dry food

- Day 2: 20% ZIGGY - 80% Usual dry food

- Day 3: 30% ZIGGY - 70% Usual dry food& so on!

Once you've reached 100% ZIGGY dry food, wait a few days before starting the wet food transition!

Here's our suggestion for the wet food transition:

- Day 1: Half a teaspoon of ZIGGY's mixed with their usual wet food.

It's really important to mix both thoroughly with a fork to achieve a homogeneous consistency.

- Day 2: One teaspoon of ZIGGY's mixed with their usual wet food.

& So on... you get the idea, the transition should be very gradual 🐢

Your cat's never had wet food? Anything is possible with a little patience!

Start with a teaspoon of Ziggy wet food each day added to a small dry food meal.

Repeat that each day until the wet food gets eaten. Then, gradually increase the amount day by day (while decreasing the amount of dry food available, you don't want your cat to end up on a double portion!).
