Summary

Ziggy Croquettes Chaton is a grain-free, high-protein formula specifically crafted to meet the nutritional needs of growing kittens.

This recipe features 26% fresh chicken and 28.8% dehydrated pork protein, providing a rich animal-based protein source to support muscle development and energy.

The inclusion of salmon oil (1.25%) and sunflower oil (1.5%) ensures an optimal balance of omega-3 (0.8%) and omega-6 (2.4%) fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin and a shiny coat.

The low carbohydrate content (18%) of potato starch and sweet potatoes supports digestion and reduces the glycemic impact.

Essential vitamins and minerals, including 30,000 IU of vitamin A and 2,000 mg of taurine, promote vision, heart health, and immunity in growing kittens.

The formula also contains Yucca schidigera extract to help reduce litter box odors and Enterococcus faecium for gut health support.

Designed with a high protein-calorie ratio (112 g protein/McalEM), it ensures kittens’ proper energy utilization and growth.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: The 45% crude protein in the formula supports rapid growth, muscle maintenance, and overall development.
  • Rich in omega fatty acids, salmon oil and flaxseed contain Balanced levels of omega-3 (0.8%) and omega-6 (2.4%), which improve skin and coat health.
  • Digestive support: Yucca schidigera extract, Enterococcus faecium, and prebiotic fibers enhance gut health and reduce stool odor.
  • Comprehensive micronutrients: Fortified with essential vitamins (e.g., A, D3, E) and trace minerals (e.g., zinc, selenium) to support immunity and overall well-being.
  • Low ash content: At 7% crude ash, the formula minimizes kidney stress while supporting urinary health.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate phosphorus content: At 0.9%, the phosphorus level is not excessively high, but it may need to be monitored for kittens with pre-existing kidney concerns.
  • High-fat level: With 18% crude fat, this formula may require careful portion control to prevent weight gain in less active kittens.
  • Potential allergenicity: Dehydrated pork protein (28.8%) and multiple protein sources may not be suitable for kittens with specific dietary sensitivities.
  • Limited fiber content: At 2% crude fiber, the formula may not provide sufficient digestive support for kittens prone to constipation.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
