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.

Your kitten has just been neutered, and you probably have a lot of questions about his diet.

As kittens are still developing, their bodies are gradually maturing and synthesising new tissues. To develop harmoniously, their nutritional requirements are much higher than those of their parents. Compared with an adult cat, a kitten's food needs to be richer in certain nutrients: proteins, amino acids, fats, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Once neutered, the calorie requirements of kittens drop by 20% on average, but their nutritional needs remain the same! So you need to limit the amount of food they eat so that they gain useful weight and muscle, but not too much fat!

Even after neutering, kittens will need a food specifically adapted for them, until the end of their development (12 months, more for large cats). It's only when they've finished growing that you can give them dry food and/or wet food for neutered adult cats.

As your kitten is still growing, his nutritional requirements are greater than those of adult cats.

That's why, until he's 12 months old, your kitten will need a diet specifically adapted for kittens. It's only when he's fully grown that you can start feeding him dry food and/or wet food for neutered adult cats.

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.

- 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.

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.

Cats like to cling to their habits; they don't always like change! For a successful dietary transition, both in terms of digestion and behaviour, we recommend incorporating Ziggy's wet food gradually into their diet. If you need personalised 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!).
