The Cats' Verdict

Purrs don't lie!

Specific features of our urinary tract support wet food

0.17% calcium, 0.16% phosphorus, 0.03% magnesium, with enough potassium and no excess sodium to help reduce crystal substrate saturation in your cat's urine and promote the well-being of their urinary functions.

Like all our wet food, our recipe principally contains muscle (hearts) and premium organ meats (liver, lung lobes), which have very high nutritional values. This is reflected in the amino acid profile and the very low collagen content (less than 0.2% per 100g, i.e. less than 1.7% hydroxyproline/protein). This is exceptionally low for a food that's 100% of the protein is animal-based.

Water to increase urine volume and courgette to reduce urinary calcium oxalate saturation. Our Ziggy Vet Urology wet food contains 2.5% dehydrated courgette, the equivalent of 24% fresh courgette, with proven effects.

Ziggy Vet Urology wet food has a balanced calorie content, to avoid overconsumption and satisfy even the most gluttonous or overweight cats.

Remember to split your cat's daily portion into at least 4 meals. This is normally easily achievable, irrespective of the habits and schedules of the humans in the house. One meal in the morning when you get up, another before leaving the house, at midday or when you get home (at whatever time) and one later in the evening.

Like in all Ziggy wet foods, there's no added flavoring. No need, the natural ingredients make Ziggy Vet Urology wet food appetizing and tasty.

A wet food that takes care of your cat suffering from urinary problems, while keeping him purring with delight.

Tips from our nutritionist veterinarian

Wet food, when like Ziggy VET it has a very low mineral content, a controlled but exceptionally high-quality protein amount, and a rich supply of zucchini and water, is by far the best option for cats suffering from urinary tract disorders.

Discover, with the help of our veterinarian Dr. Géraldine Blanchard, an expert in feline nutrition for over 30 years, the different types of urinary disorders, their symptoms, and how to prevent them:

It is by definition of unknown origin, but often occurs during periods of major stress.

The goal is to eliminate the identified source of stress and reduce potential stress through a wet diet that largely covers all the cat's essential nutritional needs, by dividing the ration into 4 meals per day, without forgetting hygienic measures (cat's access to the outdoors, one litter box per cat, cleaned daily and placed in a quiet spot, water constantly available, etc.)

Struvite stones (also known as magnesium ammonium phosphate or MAP) form when urine becomes saturated and alkaline (alkaline urine), or in cases of urinary tract infection with urease-positive bacteria. Urease-producing bacteria alkalize the urine and increase the proportion of ammonia in the cat's urine. This increase in ammonia, coupled with a higher urinary pH, allows small crystals to crystallize, which can then aggregate into stones.

The crystals can irritate the bladder and cause cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) or even lead to blood in the urine, making urination painful. The stones can also get stuck in the urinary elimination channels. The cat can no longer urinate. This is an emergency.

The risk of urinary tract infection is increased in cases of diabetesrenal failure, compromised immunity, etc.

It is always necessary to look for diseases that increase these risks and to manage them if they are present. In case of infection, it is necessary to treat with appropriate antibiotics until the stones and crystals disappear.

Regarding diet, the aim is to reduce urinary saturation by offering a wet food, low in minerals (or crude ash or inorganic matter) while adequately covering the minimal needs for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, etc., and largely covering all other nutritional needs of the cat.

It is also advisable to divide the food intake into at least 4 meals and to provide water at will.

Calcium oxalate stones, on the other hand, form when the urine is saturated with calcium and oxalic acid, and when the urine is acidified for a prolonged period (acidic urine). Often already formed in the kidneys, they end up in the bladder. Just like struvite stones, they can also form in cases of urinary tract infection with a urease-positive germ responsible for alkalinization and an increase in the proportion of ammonia in the urine. This increase in ammonia, coupled with a higher urinary pH, allows small crystals to crystallize, which can then aggregate into stones.

Crystals can irritate the bladder, leading to cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) or even causing blood in the urine, making urination painful. Stones can also get stuck in the urine excretion channels. The cat can no longer urinate. This is an emergency.

The risk of urinary tract infection is increased in cases of diabeteskidney failure, weakened immunity, etc.

It is always necessary to look for diseases that increase these risks and to treat them if they are present. In case of infection, it is necessary to treat with appropriate antibiotics until the stones and crystals disappear.

Regarding diet, the aim is to reduce urinary saturation by offering a wet food, low in minerals (or crude ash or inorganic matter) while adequately covering the minimum needs for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, etc., and largely covering all other nutritional needs of the cat.

It is also advisable to divide the food intake into at least 4 meals and to provide water at will.

A cat suffering from urinary problems will meow before or during urination, have difficulty urinating, or even be unable to urinate in the most severe cases. Blood may also be present in its urine.

Behavioral signs are also observed, such as house soiling. Some affected cats urinate outside their litter box. Associating their pain with their litter box, they prefer to relieve themselves elsewhere.

Although the symptoms are identical, it is nevertheless imperative to determine the origin of the urinary problems, which may be due to cystitis (idiopathic or not) or the presence of urinary stones. Identifying urinary stones is all the more necessary to ensure proper treatment!

Cystitis can be caused by a congenital malformation, a tumor, the presence of urinary stones, or a urinary tract infection. When idiopathic, stress is, in the vast majority of cases, identified as the cause.

As for struvite and calcium oxalate stones, several risk factors exist:

  • Insufficient water intake,
  • Inappropriate diet
  • Unfractionated meals
  • The cat's sex and breed
  • A pathology

Cystitis, urinary stones, these urinary disorders require medical attention and, above all, a suitable diet, specifically formulated for cats suffering from urinary problems.

Whatever the origin of your cat's urinary disorder, its food will be key. It must be:

  • High in water to ensure urinary volume,
  • High in zucchini for a good reduction in urinary saturation,
  • Low in minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium) to reduce the saturation of crystal substrates,
  • Perfectly balanced to provide all the essential nutrients for the cat's good health,
  • Moderate in calories to prevent overconsumption and feed your cat (even if overweight) without starving it.

For a cat suffering from urinary disorders, an exclusively wet diet is essential to promote hydration and dilute the urine. Ziggy Urology wet food, formulated by Dr Géraldine Blanchard, provides high-quality proteins while taking care of the urinary tract.

A cat with a weak bladder due to cystitis, crystals or any other urinary problem needs to be kept well hydrated through his food to protect his urinary tract.

The best advice we can give you is to switch your cat to an exclusively wet food diet. 😺

Our Urology wet food for cats has been formulated by veterinary Dr Géraldine Blanchard, an expert in feline nutrition. Like all Ziggy recipes, our wet food for cats suffering from urinary problems contains exceptionally digestible premium proteins. This tasty wet food lets you care for your cat while keeping him purring with delight!

With wet food, urine will be less concentrated and more diluted, helping to reduce the risk of urinary problems.

Dry food, on the other hand, won't provide the hydration your cat needs.

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!
