Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning

Pikko and Tyga offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. Pikko uses 100 percent meat recipes with named cuts and organs and a premix built on vitamin K2 rather than menadione. Tyga builds each recipe on 87 to 91 percent named meat and organs with functional whole-food extras like green lipped mussel, tuna and shiitake. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.

Pikko is made in Perth, WA, gently cooked in small batches and frozen into daily-portion pouches, across four recipes. It is an independent Perth brand making small-batch gently cooked meals delivered frozen by subscription within Western Australia.

Tyga is made in Sydney from Australian meat, gently cooked at 85 degrees C and frozen into 170g pouches, across four recipes. It develops its recipes with board-certified veterinary nutritionists and cooks gently at 85 degrees C rather than serving raw or extruding.
