“Besser heute ein Ei als morgen ein Küchlein,” says a German proverb. Roughly translated, this means: “Better an egg today than a pie tomorrow.” However, if a decent cat were offered an egg, a pie, and a sausage at once, they would hear a satisfied: “Sehr gut!” The German menu for cats in the form of Animonda food will be discussed in this material.

Review of Animonda cat food

Animonda brand food is professional food for animals produced in Germany by Animonda Petfood GmbH. The products of this brand have a balanced composition, the main components of which are meat, seafood, and poultry. Buyers of these foods have a fairly wide choice provided by the manufacturer when it comes to wet canned cat food. The choice is represented not only by a variety of food types and flavors, but also by cost. Unlike wet food, the choice of dry food from this brand is very small - only Vom FeinstenDeluxe Adult (food for adult cats). Animonda food is a premium food for cats, enriched with vitamins and minerals, without soy and chemical additives that cause addiction and disease in animals.

Variety of feeds from a German manufacturer

Animonda cat food has an attractive aroma and appearance. Nutrition also has a beneficial effect on the animals themselves: after 14 days of consuming Animond, owners will be able to notice positive changes in the well-being and appearance of their furry friend.

Since there are a lot of varieties of Carny food due to the variety of tastes and division by age categories, let’s look at Carny Exotic kangaroo food and its composition

: beef (48%), broth (31%), kangaroo (20%), calcium carbonate.
Also consider the composition of Carny Adult beef and heart

All feeds and pates of this type have different tastes, they are characterized by the content of meat, broth, and the absence of soy and sugars.

Dry food from Animond for cats

Dry food from Animond for cats

— Vom Feinsten Deluxe is sold in packages of 250 g, 1750 g and 10 kg.

Vom Feinsten – cat foie gras or an incomprehensible mess?

In general, the Vom Feinsten line is represented by a variety of pates in aluminum cuvettes (or lamisters). The range includes: Vom Feinsten Baby, Vom Feinsten Kitten, Vom Feinsten Senior, Vom Feinsten for castrated Cats, Vom Feinsten Adult and Vom Feinsten Select spiders.

Vom Feinsten Baby

Vom Feinsten Baby – intended for kittens from 4 weeks of age. Packaged in lamisters of 100 grams, approximate cost from 80 to 100 rubles. The delicate creamy texture of the pate is undoubtedly the best option for an easy and painless transition from mother's milk to full-fledged food. But what about the composition?

And immediately disappointment. In first place is “meat and animal by-products,” with 25% beef and 8% chicken in parentheses. I would like to hope that German pedantry will not allow beaks and hooves to be put into kitten pate, but alas, friends, these are only hopes. In second place are “vitamins and minerals.” Guaranteed analysis: proteins 10%, fats 6%, ash 2%, moisture 81%.

I’m glad that there are no grains or any plant nonsense, but somehow, you know, it’s suspicious that such a vague composition is for kids. I won't advise.

Vom Feinsten Kitten

Vom Feinsten Kitten is a complete pate for kittens from 2 months. Packed in lamisters of 100 g. The price is the same as the previous product.

It comes in three flavors: beef, chicken and lamb. Similar to the previous product, the composition does not shine: 63% meat and animal products, then slaughtered animals are listed in brackets. The composition contains broth, but its percentage is not indicated, and minerals of unknown origin. Guaranteed analysis: proteins 10%, fats 7%, ash 2%, moisture 80%.

Overall better than premium.

Vom Feinsten Senior

Vom Feinsten Senior is a pate in lamisters, created for picky adult cats from 7 years old. Packages of 100 grams, cost around 80-100 rubles.

Three flavors: beef, poultry, lamb, but the list of products begins again with a disappointing 63% of “meat and animal products.” Next in the composition are broth and minerals. The guaranteed analysis is as always in order: proteins 10%, fats 4%, ash 1.4%, moisture 82%.

Well, you understand.

Vom Feinsten for castrated Cats

Vom Feinsten for castrated Cats - compared to the previous three products, it undoubtedly wins in the quality of meat products.
These pates are created specifically for neutered cats - they need tasty food with a reduced calorie content. Packaged in lamisters of 100 g, the cost is similar to all Vom Feinsten products. There are five flavors available: turkey+cheese, turkey+trout, turkey+tomato, turkey+salmon and natural turkey.

• In first place, of course, is turkey - it is not specified what exactly: fillet or even just meat, but not “animal products” either, which is good news.
• Next is the broth and an auxiliary ingredient (trout, cheese, tomatoes, etc.).
• Calcium carbonate and sodium chloride are also listed.

The presence of salt in food can be confusing, but it is not as scary as it is made out to be - after all, sodium chloride is an extremely important component for all living organisms, which is present in most products (not necessarily those that taste salty). Salt is added to animal feed as a flavor enhancer and also encourages the animal to drink more water.

Guaranteed analysis: proteins 12%, fats 4.4%, ash 1.8%, moisture 80%.

In general, pates for neutered cats are of decent quality.

Vom Feinsten Adult

Vom Feinsten Adult - here we come to the “pearl” of the line, a complete pate for adult cats. Packaging and cost are similar to all Vom Feinsten products.

In short: this is high-quality nutrition, presented in nine mouth-watering variations, with detailed composition. In the first place is meat and meat products and then the ingredients are listed in parentheses, for example, 23% beef, 10% lamb, turkey, chicken, rabbit, pork. There are no intestines or bones in the pate, since all products are meat. Next is a “side dish” (pasta, potatoes) or an additional meat ingredient (shrimp, ocean fish). All types contain broth and, of course, minerals.

Guaranteed analysis: proteins 11.5%, fats 4.7%, ash 1.6%, moisture 80.5%. You can give these pates to your pet without any worries.

Vom Feinsten Select

Well, let's move on to the final delicacy - Vom Feinsten Select. These are no longer pates, but 85-gram pouches in six variations with whole pieces of meat costing from 80 to 100 rubles.

Its composition is excellent: the main ingredient is chicken breast 49%, followed by broth and an additional ingredient that gives the dish a “zest”: cheese, ham, white tuna, shellfish, eggs, aloe vera and sea bass.

Guaranteed analysis: proteins 12%, fats 1%, ash 1%, moisture 83%. As an addition to dry food - simply wonderful, and without harming the cat's waistline.

Reviews of cat food "Animonda"

Brocconis cat can be considered the “simplest” in composition of the Animonda brand food; this food contains the smallest amount of meat of all other varieties. And Carny food boasts an excellent quality composition. Let's try to find the positive aspects of Brocconis food and the negative aspects of Carny by reading customer reviews of Animonda cat food

.

Natalya buys Brocconis cat food from Animonda brand

: “I buy this food quite often for my cat. I would buy it more often, but it is not always available in the pet store. I like the composition; the food contains meat and offal. The cat eats it with pleasure, is cheerful and active. I think that grains in the composition are only a plus for the food, because they contain a lot of nutrients. Another attractive thing is that the food is produced in Germany. I’ve read more than once that they treat products with great responsibility, not like our food, which is made from unknown materials...”

Antonina talks about Carny wet food for adult cats with beef

: “I bought this food for my cat after surgery.
The seller recommended it as the highest quality and natural. The composition contains by-products - lungs, udder. And the price per jar is decent! My cat didn't like the food that much. For that kind of money you can buy a piece of real fresh meat and cook it yourself. I didn’t find anything special for myself or my cat in this food; I didn’t like the smell. And reviews of Animond food
are most often good, but I’m not delighted...”

Reviews about "Animond" from customers

If you open a jar or package, the composition pleasantly surprises you. Of course, this applies to a greater extent to wet food, because all “dry” ones are one way or another similar to each other, but good canned food can look like either “cubes in colored jelly” or like stew. In the case of Animonda, it’s just the latter.

Cats eat these foods with pleasure, so you don’t have to worry about not pleasing picky eaters. Although if you know that your cat doesn’t like pates, it’s better to buy a small jar of any Animonda canned food to try, because both “Cairney” and “Vom Feinsten” are guilty of pates or stews very similar to them.

The food also has a delicious smell.

No matter how wonderful the taste, all experienced cat owners know: a cat chooses its meal using mainly its sense of smell.

So, whether it fits in the bowl or not depends directly on the smell of the canned food.

And, of course, a variety of tastes! Starting from canned ostrich meat for adult cats, ending with a good choice for kittens (almost all manufacturers of food for babies offer to feed them exclusively chicken, but Animonda has both lamb meat and veal - which is not a joy for the cat and his caring "mothers")!

Is it worth purchasing Animonda cat food?

Unlike many premium foods, Animond products for the most part do not cause allergic reactions or digestive problems in cats. The composition contains natural meat, in some types and by-products, but unlike other brands, the food manufacturer does not hide what kind of by-products they are. In addition, among the components of the food there are no components that are incomprehensible to the average buyer, there is no soy, no dyes, that is, there is no harm. The buyer of the food will be able to provide the pet with a good product. The price for it, of course, is quite high, but it is justified. If we consider a cat as a predator, then the food of this brand is high-quality, natural, one of the best of its kind.

Disadvantages of dry food Animonda

Animonda cat food has very few disadvantages. But since they do exist, people who decide to feed their pets this particular product should know exactly what negative aspects it has.

Due to the high carbohydrate content, the diet can cause diabetes or obesity. But this is in the case of constantly feeding the animal only dry food. If you feed your cat only dry food, then it is necessary that the animal has constant access to drinking water. This is especially important in the first two hours after feeding. The price of Animonda dry food is above average.
