Because their miaows say it all

our Veterinary Nutrition expert

Diabetes is a serious disease. Excess glucose in the blood is toxic to cells, with dangerous long-term consequences. Once diagnosed, diabetes must be treated, usually with insulin injections, to bring blood sugar levels back down to normal.

A balanced wet food like Ziggy's that's starch-free, very low in sugars and rich in premium proteins is by far the best diet for cats suffering from diabetes. After a period of treatment that can range from a few weeks to a few months, in the majority of cases, insulin can gradually be reduce until it's no longer required.

I would add that once the dietary transition is completed, dry food (all dry food) is completely stopped, to give their blood sugar levels the best chance of returning to normal without the need for insulin.

Once in remission carbohydrates should continue to be avoided as they may cause diabetes may reappear. Diabetes is much less likely to go into remission for a second time. A balanced, ultra-low carb wet food diet should be maintained indefinitely.

To help your cat regulate his blood sugar levels, I recommend dividing his meals into several small portions, and serving at least 4 wet meals a day.

What is diabetes in cats?

Diabetes is one of the most dreaded diseases in cats and overweight and obese cats are particularly at risk. This chronic condition, also known as 'diabetes mellitus', is characterised by excessively high levels of glucose (glycaemia) in the blood. Chronic hyperglycaemia is toxic to cells and if it's not treated in time can damage the pancreas, eyes, cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Diabetes in cats is a very serious condition that requires special treatment. This usually involves daily insulin injections (once or twice a day), and a special low-carb diet. As always, your vet will prescribe a treatment specific to your cat's condition and circumstances.

The right diet can sometimes induce remission of the disease, meaning that insulin is no longer required (injections can be discontinued) and normal blood sugar levels can be maintained through diet alone.

Important to know: even if your cat's diet is changed immediately following diagnosis, insulin treatment is necessary to normalise blood sugar levels.

VIGILANCE

A dietary food for diabetic cats increases a cat's sensitivity to insulin. It's strongly recommended to measure fructosamine or glucose blood levels before taking this food and if necessary reduce the dose of insulin.

For a diabetic cat, a wet diet free from cereals and starch is strongly recommended to limit carbohydrate intake. Ziggy offers a wet food specifically formulated for diabetic cats, developed by Dr Veterinarian Géraldine Blanchard.

A cat suffering from diabetes needs a healthy, low-calorie diet, and above all one that’s grain-free and starch-free to keep carbohydrate intake to a minimum.

Dry food always contains starch, it’s required for the manufacturing process (it’s what gives dry food its crunchiness), which itself is a carb. Cats also can’t digest it well.

The best recommendation we can give you is to move your cat onto an exclusively or almost exclusively wet food diet 💜

We’ve developed a wet food specifically for diabetic cats.

This unique recipe has been formulated by veterinarian Dr Géraldine Blanchard and meets all the nutritional needs of a diabetic cats, while respecting his condition 😺

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.

Enter your cat's ideal weight into our portion calculator and we'll calculate the right amount of wet food and/or dry food to give him.
