YA ZERO Mature is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.
ZERO Mature Health Premium High Protein Cat Food
Like lions and tigers, domesticated cats are obligate carnivores and by definition have no nutritional requirement for starch/carbohydrates or plant proteins in their diet. When a feline doesn’t eat her natural diet – meat and fat, she can become overweight and at risk for diabetes. Young Again Zero Mature High Protein Cat Food supports your pre-diabetic or diabetic cat by giving her a carnivore-based alternative to traditional cat foods. No starch or plant proteins. As your cat matures, her body also requires less calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and other nutrients. Excess levels of these nutrients can actually create health problems in CRD and aging felines.
Recommended for felines that cannot tolerate excess starch.
Young Again Zero Mature Health Premium High Protein Cat Food:
Your cat is considered mature as soon as they are done growing bone. For most cats that will be at about 2 years of age. However, for breeds like the Maine Coon, it may be as long as 5 years. Please consult your veterinarian or breeder if you are unsure if your cat has reached adulthood.

There are two ways to feed Young Again Cat Foods:
At YA, we highly recommend Free-Choice feeding. Please follow the instructions carefully. For additional feeding suggestions and assistance, please read Transitioning your cat.
If you must restrict feed your cat, please use these guidelines:
Average consumption for 24 hours:
8 lb. cat – Level ¼ cup
10 lb. cat – Rounded ¼ cup
12 lb. cat – Level 1/3 cup
15 lb. cat – Rounded 1/3 cup
20-25 lb. cat – Level ½ cup
For Maine Coons and other giant breeds add ¼ cup to each of above measures for 12 pounds and up.
PLEASE NOTE: Because Young Again is a nutrient-dense food, your cat will eat MUCH LESS than other cat foods. It does not mean your cat does not like our food.
As the owner of a diabetic cat who has been on Bexacat for the past 6 months, I was hesitant to try a new cat food. However, I'm so glad I took a chance on this brand. I've only been feeding it to my cat for 2.5 weeks, and I've already seen an impressive 5 point decrease in his blood sugar numbers. What really sets this company apart is their exceptional customer service. When I reached out with questions about using this food alongside Bexacat, the president of the company personally responded to address all of my concerns. They were incredibly knowledgeable, transparent, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident in transitioning my cat to this new diet. Honestly, I wish I had found this cat food sooner, before starting Bexacat. Based on the rapid improvements I'm seeing, I'm hopeful my cat may even be able to go into remission and eventually stop the medication. If that happens, you can bet I'll be leaving an even more glowing review. This is simply the best cat food for diabetic felines that I've come across. The customer service is unparalleled, the quality of the ingredients is top-notch, and the results speak for themselves. I give this product my highest possible recommendation. (Client has fed both the Zero and the Zero Mature during the time of this review so it has been posted in both product reviews.)

I was very wary of trying this and debating for a whole year before caving and giving it a try. I called and asked all of my questions and felt reassured. Fast forward to a year later, my cat is STILL in remission and had great numbers on our last visit.
