Dry Food for Sterilised Cats Grain-Free Chicken

Ziggy cat food is unique! All our products are formulated by Dr Géraldine Blanchard, a veterinary specialised in feline nutrition for 25 years. They contain only premium proteins, very few carbs and very little phosphorus to keep your cat happy and purring! And of course, all the ingredients are listed on the back of the packaging, for total transparency.

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!).

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

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.

Yes, our dry food for adult neutered cats and our dry food for kittens are grain-free. Cats do not naturally eat wheat or barley. Cereals or grains are difficult for them to digest, so they turn to foods that are good for them. However, they will eat a little grain when they eat a field mouse or a small mouse, because their preys eat grain. But the quantities are really tiny.

To make dry food, you need to use starch, a carbohydrate ‘stored by plants in the form of granules which, when ground, provide a starch’. This is a kind of glue that enables dry food to hold together and have an airy, crunchy texture. To date, no manufacturer has yet found a solution to eliminate starch.

To replace grain, other sources of starch such as potatoes can be used. At Ziggy, we prefer potatoes to tapioca or lentils. This ingredient allows us to obtain a low GI (Glycaemic Index). This depends very much on the cooking method, so we prefer gentle cooking to limit the carb intake.

Our recipes are all developed by veterinary expert in feline nutrition Dr. Géraldine Blanchard. She's been onboard with Ziggy since the beginning and designs healthy and balanced recipes tailored to our feline friends needs. Each new recipe that we develop is first analyzed by an independent laboratory, and only made available to buy once approved. Every production is then analyzed and approved again by our quality control team.

Placing our trust in our talented (and resourceful) compatriots, all our recipes are produced in France by our partner factories. Our wet food is produced in Vire, Normandy, our dry food is produced in Wimille, in the north of France, our probiotics in Seine-Maritime, our litter is made in Centre-Val de Loire, and our packages and booklets are made in Lyon! 🇫🇷
