Wet food for cats with kidney impairment (CKD), developed by our vet and specialist in clinical nutrition, Dr. Géraldine Blanchard.

The Ziggy VET CKD wet food has been formulated to support renal function in cases of chronic kidney disease. This dietary food is very low in phosphorus (1g/Mcal) to preserve kidney function, rich in Omega 3 EPA/DHA (>2g/Mcal), containing highly digestible proteins, with an amino acid profile closely matching the needs of cats, to preserve muscle mass and the appetite of cats with CKD, and help strengthen their immune system. The best we can do when it comes to slowing down the onset of CKD while promoting a healthy appetite.

And always without starch, like all Ziggy wet food, to ensure good digestive tolerance even in the most sensitive cats.

Treat your cat to the very tasty and indulgent Ziggy VET CKD wet food whilst taking best care of him!

Specific features of our cat food for renal failure

Phosphorus is the enemy of diseased kidneys. We use premium protein sources (muscle) to minimise phosphorus content (no cartilage meal, carcass scraps or bones). Our low phosphorus/energy ratio (1g/Mcal) and measured calcium content helps preserve kidney function.

Animal proteins in the right quantities, with an amino acid profile suited to cats, to maintain their weight, appetite and lean body mass (muscles, as well immunity, digestive capacity, skin and coat health), but also to limit nitrogen waste, which is harmful in cats suffering from chronic kidney disease.

A very high nutritional intake of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) to promote blood fluidity, glomerular filtration* and good kidney blood flow.

* Volume of liquid filtered by the kidneys per unit of time.

Cats suffering from chronic kidney disease often have a smaller, irregular appetite.

Thanks to an abundance of high-quality ingredients (no added flavorings or starch), Ziggy Vet IRC promotes kidney health and gets the tastebuds tingling.

Tips from our nutritionist veterinarian

Wet food, when like Ziggy VET it is very low in phosphorus, with controlled protein quantity but exceptional quality, and a high intake of EPA & DHA, is by far the most suitable for cats suffering from kidney failure.

Discover the different recommendations from our veterinarian Dr. Géraldine Blanchard, an expert in feline nutrition for over 25 years:

Indeed, Ziggy VET - IRC cat food contains animal proteins of excellent quality ( amino acid profile ), highly digestible and in adjusted quantities. This is intended to maintain the cat's lean mass and thus maximize its appetite, immunity, digestive capacities... The reflection of this quality can be seen in the quality of the cat's skin and coat.

Ziggy VET IRC pâté contains, in addition to other essential fatty acids, also special omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, in very high quantities, to support kidney function. EPA+DHA are fatty acids that contribute to good vascularization of the kidneys.

For cats with chronic kidney disease, I recommend, from the earliest to the most advanced stages, a suitable wet food such as Ziggy VET IRC .

The renal elimination of urea and creatinine does not follow the same pathways. The sole increase in uremia (without an increase in creatinine) following a change in diet should not be considered a sign of CKD. When the amount of protein consumed increases, uremia also increases (while remaining within the norm), but not creatinine. The blood concentration of creatinine increases beyond the norm only in the case of IR.

A cat suffering from CKD or kidney disease must hydrate massively through its diet: an exclusively wet diet is recommended. The diagnosis must be confirmed by a veterinarian (urine test + blood test) before any dietary change.

A cat whose kidneys are fragile due to CKD or any other condition, needs to be kept extremely hydrated through what he eats in order to preserve his kidney function.

The best advice we can give you is to switch your cat to an exclusively wet food diet. Find all our tips and insights in our dedicated article.

If you’re concerned that your cat is suffering from a kidney disease, it’s essential to visit your vet for a diagnosis. This is typically done via a urine test and blood sample. Only your vet will be able to determine whether or not your little feline is suffering from kidney disease.

Ziggy refuses the standard ingredients of industrial pet food (carcasses, MRM, meat meals, starch, nitrites) and sources its meats exclusively in France. Norman pork, a lean and protein-rich meat, is particularly suited to sterilised and sedentary adult cats.

Our recipes follow very strict specifications. We have banned most of the ingredients used by the pet food industry: carcass scraps, MSM (mechanically separated meat), meat meal, starch, nitrites, flavourings, etc.

In addition to the few raw materials we allow, we are determined to source our meat in France, and refuse to use meat products from the other side of the world (like lamb, for example, which comes mainly from New Zealand). Pork has the advantage of being a lean, ‘white’ meat that is low in calories and available in sufficient quantities in France, where it’s widely consumed. What's more, the region in which our plant is located (in Normandy) is a pork and beef farming area. Pork is a meat that is particularly well suited to adult, neutered and sedentary cats, as it is low in calories and rich in quality proteins.

Ziggy products are stored in a cool and dry place. Once opened, wet food keeps for 48h in the refrigerator and kibble for 6 to 8 weeks in their resealed bag.

Ziggy cat food should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light. Your furry friend will have no problem eating it up to the used-by date you’ll find on the product’s packaging.

Once opened, a wet food tray can be kept in the fridge for 48 hours (preferably in a closed container). Dry food should be kept closed in a cool, dry place once opened. Ideally, dry food should be eaten within 6 to 8 weeks.

For more details on storing Ziggy products, please refer to our article.

Variations in texture or colour between two batches are normal: they reflect the use of fresh raw materials and the absence of nitrites. Each batch is marketed after quality control and validation of nutritional analyses.

As we only work with fresh raw materials from our partner breeders, the texture and/or color of our wet food can vary slightly from one production batch to the next.

This is perfectly natural and can vary according to the season or meat supplies.

Each batch of wet food goes through rigorous quality control and nutritional analysis to ensure it lives up to the standards we set ourselves. However, slight variations in taste or texture may still occur.

The more natural the product, the more it’s subject to these sorts of variations. We could control this by adding nitrite, but we don’t. We would rather embrace these natural characteristics and guarantee your cat a healthy diet.

Ziggy wet foods are formulated by Dr Veterinarian Géraldine Blanchard, specialist in feline nutrition. Free from starch and sugar, a predominantly wet diet (75% minimum) reduces the risks of overweight, diabetes and urinary disorders, while promoting the cat's natural hydration.

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

- Wet food has fewer calories than dry food! Cats fed mainly or entirely on wet food are less likely to become overweight or obese.

- When wet food accounts for at least 75% of the diet of a neutered, sedentary cat, it reduces their risk of diabetes. What’s more, all our wet food is starch-free (a major source of carbohydrates) and sugar-free!

- Thanks to wet food, cats get more water than if they ate dry food and drank on the side. This helps them produce more urine, reducing their risk of developing urinary problems.

- At Ziggy, we're no minimalists: essential nutrients are provided in generous quantities. The first visible proof of this being a magnificent coat.

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

The transition to Ziggy food is done gradually: increase the kibble by 10% per day over 10 days, then introduce wet food starting from half a teaspoon, mixing it with a fork into the previous wet food.

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!).

If you have any questions, feel free to write to us: hello@ziggyfamily.com, our team will be happy to help you!

A gradual transition allows the vast majority of cats to easily adopt the Ziggy diet. In case of difficulty, the team offers personalised nutritional support.

Don't worry, as long as you stick to a very gradual transition, the (vast) majority of cats love their Ziggy dry food and wet food!

However, if your cat's fussy and has trouble changing his diet, feel free to take a look at our transition guide or write an email to our team: hello@ziggyfamily.com, we'll offer personalized nutritional support and find a solution that works for your cat.
