"Organic cat food is produced in accordance with the high requirements of the EC Organic Regulation No. 834/2007 and contains mainly natural and certified organic ingredients. All plant-based raw materials are organically grown, while the animal ingredients come from ethical farming practices.

One particularly important aspect is the avoidance of artificial pesticides, fertilisers or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Not only can these be harmful to your cat's health, they also pollute the environment. In addition, at zooplus you will find various types of organic cat food with different nutritional compositions that meet the special needs of cats – including, for example, organic cat food for kittens."
