Range
Cat food (Brit Kea) is represented by the following lines:
Dry
Crazy. This dry food for babies contains a high percentage of chicken meat - 38% (both fresh and dried); salmon oil (source of omega-3 and omega-6), prebiotics. Excellent composition for a growing body!
Lucky. Food for adult cats, capable of providing a living creature with the necessary minimum of nutrients. The list of ingredients is quite interesting, but if you look at it, some of the components have an imaginary advantage. For example, taurine and arginine - amino acids - are already found in meat. And psyllium, as a source of fiber, stimulates the movement of feces, not allowing them to linger in the intestines, but even without it, fiber is present in the food.
Tobby. Quite a high-calorie (390 kcal per 100 g) and fatty (17%) food for adult cats. The grains in it are replaced with yellow peas and potatoes (they do not provide any particular benefit and are added for volume, but this kind of food can be eaten by allergy sufferers). Chondroprotectors - chondroitin and glucosamine - protect cat joints from damage. This food is recommended for active cats that move around a lot, as Tobby can cause significant weight gain.
Angel. This type of food is designed for cats over 7 years old. The lumps are porous and are easy for older animals to chew, and the load on the teeth is minimal. The percentage of fat in the feed is low - only 12%, which means that the load on the gastrointestinal tract is low and the risk of disease is low. The percentage of minerals is also small (due to which the risk of developing urolithiasis is reduced). There is a lot of fiber: with increased sensitivity of the intestines, a cat may develop mucus and even blood in the stool.
Cocco. For a picky animal with a delicate stomach, Cocco food, prepared according to a special, grain-free recipe, is suitable. The main emphasis is on protein - duck and salmon meat. They are easily digestible and help provide your pet with all the essential amino acids. The pleasant aroma of fish increases the cat's appetite, and potatoes add nutritional value to the food. But if your cat is allergic to bird protein, you will have to choose something else.
Monty. This food is ideal for cats with long hair and heavy shedding. The sources of plant fiber contained in the composition break up hairballs and remove it from the stomach. The calorie content is low - 380 kcal per 100 grams - which means that your cat is not in danger of becoming obese.
Cheeky. Judging by reviews, this food is best suited for cats that spend a lot of time outside. Firstly, the food contains chondroprotectors, and secondly, sodium hexametaphosphate cleanses teeth of tartar and relieves inflammation in the dental cavity. But it is extremely high in calories: 100 g of pads contain as much as 420 kcal! Plus there is a lot of fat, so it is better not to feed lazy and inactive animals with this food.
Lilly. It was developed for animals with particularly sensitive digestion. It is not hypoallergenic (although the manufacturer claims the opposite), but it is valuable in composition: it contains lamb, salmon and chicken protein, as well as milk thistle. It helps the liver cope with stress.
Sunny. The manufacturer assures that this food improves the condition of the animal’s skin and coat. But, if you look in more detail, such a statement is doubtful. The main ingredient is salmon meal, and fish is indeed a source of acids and tocopherols, but the food does not contain fish fillet, but fish meal. What is hidden under this - whether it is only meat, or scales, bones, and other useless waste - we do not know.
Daisy. Distinctive feature: minimum fat (10%) and large amount of protein (40%). Thanks to this composition, the cat will not store fat, but will build muscle.
Missy. Veterinarians recommend this food for sterilized cats: it is not fatty (only 12%), it contains additional fiber (psyllium). From the “pros”: the food prevents the formation of kidney stones, from the “cons” - there is so little phosphorus and calcium that this threatens a deficiency of both. If your cat eats this food, get the appropriate tests every 3-4 months.
Wet
Brit Care Cat Kitten. Half of this food is meat, the rest is rice, cheese, water and others.
Brit Care Cat. This line includes both wet canned food and so-called pouches (food in small bags, which costs more than both dry and wet food in cans).
The composition is the same as the food described above, but there is modified starch. However, you shouldn’t be afraid of this: this is not GMO and not a dangerous additive, but just an additive for thickness.
Brit care brand food is well digestible, hypoallergenic and brings a lot of benefits to the animal: strengthens the immune system, makes teeth stronger and the coat thicker, and prevents the development of certain diseases. But there are no dyes, flavors or synthetic preservatives in the food!
Compound
The food contains:
- dehydrated turkey and chicken meat;
- rice bran;
- rice;
- chicken fat;
- dried apples;
- beet pulp;
- plantain;
- sea buckthorn pear-shaped;
- salmon oil;
- Brewer's yeast;
- vitamins;
- minerals;
- prebiotics.
Most of the feed is protein, i.e. meat - 55%. There are 2 types of fat: salmon oil and chicken fat. They are indispensable for the cat’s body, as they saturate the body with important acids. At the same time, they are quickly absorbed. The source of carbohydrates is not grain crops, but potatoes. This is a “plus” of the food, since potatoes have a low glycemic index, and they cleanse the intestines well (due to starch).
The subtle aroma of mint stimulates the cat's appetite, sodium phosphate prevents tartar from sticking to the teeth, sea buckthorn is an excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent.
To prevent overeating, be sure to read the instructions on the package. An animal weighing no more than 5 kg and not sterilized should receive approximately 200 g of feed per day. If the animal is castrated, the portion can be increased to 250 g. A special calculation of the portion is also required if the cat is pregnant, or weakened, or old.

Good afternoon. Visitors to the veterinary clinic where I work very often ask to recommend good food for cats and dogs (who comes with whom). At the same time, for most it is very important that it be cheaper, since it is not possible to buy expensive food. In such cases, I recommend Brit Premium for several reasons.
Firstly, it really has a good composition for a premium class and low price. Secondly, it is produced in the Czech Republic, and not in Russia (a lot of complaints arise when the production of foreign food is transferred to us). And thirdly, two good friends have been feeding their cats this food for a long time - there have been no health problems yet.
I should note that I don’t have a cat, but I do have a Siberian Husky dog. I buy the Canadian holistic product Acana, but only because neither I nor my wife have time to prepare natural food for him. If you have the opportunity, it is still better to keep your pets on a natural diet.

For economic reasons, I sometimes feed my cat Brit Premium for sterilized ones. I am a veterinarian and I believe that among the premium budget foods, Brit is the most optimal. Prevention of urolithiasis is due to high meat protein (34%), low phosphorus (0.9%) and magnesium (0.04%), which fully complies with FEDIAF requirements. Well, we eat Brit Care and Carnilove for sterilized ones. Neutered cat 5 years old.
Also about spiders for sterilized ones. I buy them from Auchan and now they are presented in an updated version: pieces in sauce. Eatability is 100%. The indicated meat content is 80%, which is several times more than in the old spiders - the cat eats it with pleasure; the price remained unchanged, even on sale it was cheaper (29 rubles per piece)
The rating of Brit Premium food in its category is 5 out of 5 points.

I have a Neva Masquerade cat, sterilized. Like many cat owners, I was looking for a suitable food for a long time, and during this search I tried Brit Premium for sterilized cats. Before this, I found a lot of positive reviews about it, saying it’s high quality, cheaper than other premium foods, and the cat likes it.
In principle, I liked the composition, the recipe is wheat-free. But as soon as I opened the package, I almost regretted buying it, the smell was like some kind of Kitekat. I finally regretted it when I gave it to my cat - she ate it very reluctantly, and after the first feedings, the stool worsened (it darkened and became sparser). The food did not suit us at all, so we do not recommend it.

We picked up a kitten on the street, at first we gave him homemade food, and when he got a little older we decided to switch him to dry food. I couldn’t afford the expensive one, but I didn’t want to feed him whiskey either. In the end, we settled on Brit Premium, which has a very good composition (although it is only premium) and is reasonably priced. The Care line from the same manufacturer has a better composition, but the price is higher.
The food itself smells quite attractive, you can really smell the fish (we take it with Salmon Adult, that is, salmon), and not just chemicals as in some. By the way, it contains chicken, so it is not suitable if the cat is allergic to it. You can also note the convenient reusable clasp on the packaging, useful when there is no container. But the most important thing is that the cat likes it and eats with pleasure.
