Any dog owner strives to provide their pet with a proper and balanced diet. The development and state of health of the animal depends on this: its level of activity, mood. People often feed their pets the food they eat themselves. But according to veterinarians, this cannot be done. After all, a dog's digestive system is different from a human's. Therefore, most products suitable for humans are simply not suitable for four-legged friends.
Experts insist that you need to buy special food. There are many brands on the market today. And the question often arises, which one to choose? One of the most popular is Brit. This article will tell you what Brit food for dogs is, how it is useful and what breeds it is suitable for.
Advantages and disadvantages
- It contains natural ingredients, beneficial vitamins, minerals, and natural preservatives.
- If you compare Brit Care food with other foods of the same class, you will notice a significant difference in price: Brit Care is much more affordable and is sold in almost all pet stores.
- The assortment is large: there is food for both adults (healthy, weakened, with health problems) and for kittens, both dry food and wet pates.
- The composition is balanced, thanks to which the animals become stronger and look more attractive.
- Some types contain corn flour, and this is a rather difficult product for cat digestion, often causing allergies.
- The brewer's yeast contained in the composition makes cats' fur strong and shiny, but can also cause allergies.
- The phrase “dehydrated chicken” can include not only chicken meat, but also offal.
- The food granules are quite large, and not every cat will have “teeth.”

It has a high content of chicken meat (25% dehydrated meat, 22% boneless meat). Vitamin C and prebiotics stimulate the immune system. A balanced complex of minerals has been added to the composition. Proteins in an easily digestible form are important for muscle development. Containing Omega-3 fatty acids in the required dosage promotes brain development.
Delicious and healthy diet for kittens
- Brit Care dry food with duck and salmon for picky cats. Designed for feeding real gourmets. The presence of catnip in the composition gives the pads a wonderful aroma. This diet does not contain grains, so it is recommended for cats with sensitive digestion. As with other Brit Care products, there is a high percentage of natural meat (analysis shows 25% dehydrated duck, 10% dehydrated chicken, 15% salmon meal). Also contains arginine, taurine, a balanced mineral complex.

- Brit Care dry food for cats that are constantly indoors, with chicken and rice. The diet includes 3 types of fiber (apple, beetroot and plantain), which help remove hairballs from the stomach.

To prevent tartar, vitamin C and sodium hexametaphosphate are added to the food.
Product for cats that are always indoors

Brit Care cat food review
Brit Care belongs to the super-premium class. The same manufacturer produces Brit Premium, Profine, and Carnilove food. In addition, products under the Lets Bite, Sams Field, Petit, Brit Animals brands are also produced by VAFO PRAHA sro.
Composition of Brit Care food
Let's look at the composition of Brit Care cat food using the example of the Gain-Free INDOOR option (grain-free, for adult cats):
Information about the composition from the official website of the manufacturer.
The first and third ingredients, fresh chicken 26% and dehydrated chicken 20% respectively, are good sources of protein. Yellow peas are also relatively rich in protein, but even with a maximum of 24 g of protein per 100 g of peas, we get only ~6% protein (that is, from the total 30% indicated in the guaranteed analysis, up to 6% is vegetable protein, and from 24% - animal origin).
Let us remember that animal proteins are richer in amino acid composition and are better absorbed than plant proteins. Therefore, it is good when the main source of protein is animal meat or fish fillet, and not ingredients like “corn gluten”, “wheat gluten”, etc.
Yellow peas, despite their relatively high protein content, are still mainly a source of carbohydrates. Dried apples (8%), pumpkin (6%) are a source of fiber. Chicken fat (4%, preserved with tocopherols), salmon oil (2%) are good sources of fats and fatty acids. Psyllium (2%, chaff and seeds) is a plantain plant whose seeds are rich in soluble fiber, good for digestion.
Hydrolyzed chicken liver (2%) is a natural flavoring additive. Brewer's yeast (2%) is a source of B-group vitamins. Flax seeds are rich in fiber and unsaturated fatty acids. Dried motherwort (0.5%), dried chamomile (0.5%), dried sea buckthorn (0.3%), dried lingonberries (0.2%) are sources of fiber, and sea buckthorn and lingonberries are very rich in natural antioxidants.
Minerals are a dietary supplement of minerals. Fructooligosaccharides (0.015%) and mannanoligosaccharides (0.015%) are prebiotics that improve digestion. Yucca schidigera (0.008%) - reduces the smell of excrement. Lactobacillus acidophilus HA-122 inactivated (15x109 cells/kg) - probiotic, good for digestion.
The technological supplement states that tocopherol extracts from vegetable oils, ascorbyl palmitate and rosemary extract are used as antioxidants. That is, all antioxidants are natural (tocopherols are, in fact, vitamin E, and ascorbyl palmitate is vitamin C).
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of this food include:
- the main source of protein is meat ingredients;
- grain-free formulations (no wheat, corn or even rice);
- rich in vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances;
- In addition to dry food, there is also wet food “Brit Care” (pouches, canned food);
- Widely distributed, available in most pet stores;
- the percentage of all ingredients is indicated (this is very rare);
- the price is lower than many analogues.
The disadvantages include:
There are no significant shortcomings.
Reviews
The opinion about food is formed not only from advertising videos and information from the official website. Reviews from specialists and dog owners are informative.
Veterinarian review
Brit brand food has won the trust of Russian consumers. Dry Brit care pellets are distinguished by high quality protein because they contain only animal feed. Carbohydrates are represented by slow starch from potatoes or rice, which eliminates fermentation. Special high-calorie feed mixtures have been developed for energetic dogs and low-calorie feed mixtures for animals that need to lose weight. The dogs are full of food, their coat is shiny, and they are very active. I recommend Brit Kea food for your pets.
Customer Reviews
Sergey: Brit Kare is a decent food. But it infuriates me that the manufacturers say that there is a lot of meat in it. Dry pellets can only contain meat meal. And the price suits me. My Elsa crunches with pleasure.
Marina: The owners from whom I bought the puppy fed him Royal Canin. I was not satisfied with the quality of the food. I chose Brit care Puppy with lamb and rice. At first I didn't like the color and smell of the croquettes. But the puppy had a different opinion. I declare that Brit Kare is better than Royal Canin, and does not cost much more.
Alevtina: It took a long time to select food, and we settled on Brit Care for medium-sized adult dogs. There is 36% meat, not like in Chappie or Pedigree, all the vitamins, even apples are there, but there is no corn gluten and wheat. The dog eats with an appetite, its coat shines, and it jumps. Girls, I recommend Brit Kare to anyone looking for inexpensive and high-quality food.

What is special about Brit food?
Brit for dogs belongs to the mid-price segment food. True, there are also sets in the line that belong to the premium class. Manufacturers produce both dry and canned products. Most dog breeders choose this brand. Therefore, it is worth considering Brit products in more detail.
Characteristics of the company and products
Dry dog food Brit is produced by a Czech private enterprise. It has been on the market for more than 20 years. And all this time it has steadily occupied a leading position thanks to constant improvement and expansion of the range.
The product is completely balanced and ideal for all breeds.
The line has several flavor variations, which are designed taking into account the age and size of the animal. In addition to dry food, the owner has the right to choose canned food, freeze-dried treats for training or reward, pates, etc.
The line of this brand is distinguished by the following characteristics:
- Grain-free options available.
- Brit dog food does not contain any components that can harm the animal. The food includes rice, several types of meat, fish, vitamins A, B, E and C, and medicinal herbs. Also rich in microelements such as potassium, selenium, phosphorus, zinc. Contains proteins and amino acids that are simply necessary for good protein absorption.
- The products have an international quality certificate.
- The company does not conduct tests on dogs.
- The assortment includes several brands. Among them are Brit Care dog food and Brit food.
Range
Veterinarians advise dog owners to choose food based on the breed, age and weight of the pet. Brit takes this requirement into account. Therefore, the line includes varieties for medium, small decorative and large pets. For large animals, the kits are characterized by a high protein content and the absence of high-carbohydrate fatty substances. There are also options for weakened and sick individuals. The company also produces Brit hypoallergenic food for dogs, as well as for those who have problems with their fur and teeth.
For a pet, the owner can choose one of the following food options:
- Dry. As a complete diet, experts recommend choosing premium Brit food for dogs, which is available in dry form. It is packaged in dark blue bags equipped with a convenient latch that reliably protects food from high humidity. Each package contains servings based on weight and age. However, veterinarians do not recommend completely trusting this information. It is also advisable to take a closer look at the condition of your pet. For example, if the dog begins to gain a lot of weight, it is better to reduce the amount of dry formula. But if the animal is excessively thin, it makes sense to increase the serving size.
- Pates. There is an assortment of pates with fish, lamb, turkey and chicken. Each product contains high quality animal components and easily digestible plant fiber. There are no preservatives. Therefore, this food is ideal for dogs. Having purchased a tender pate, it can either be added to dry food or used as the main food.
- Canned food. It should be noted that Brit canned food for dogs is designed taking into account the taste preferences of four-legged dogs. They are made from natural meat. They do not contain starch, salt, or highly allergenic grains. The manufacturer offers canned chicken, turkey, duck, and lamb. All of them are cooked in a thick vegetable sauce. As a rule, a jar is enough for a full meal for a large purebred dog.
All Brit Care dog food and Brit food combine well with each other. And this allows you to diversify your pet’s menu.
Flavors, ingredients
Regardless of whether the food is dry or wet, the composition is important. What do cats need?
Five main ingredients:
Squirrels
Proteins are essential because they contain amino acids. According to veterinarians, amino acids are the basis of a healthy immune system, are responsible for the production of antibodies and help regulate hormone levels. Amino acids are essential for the growth and overall development of any cat.
Protein is found in many foods such as fish, poultry, beef, meat and eggs. Avoid foods that are full of grains and fillers such as flour, rice, corn, etc. These ingredients do not provide the amino acids your cat needs, such as taurine, which can only be obtained from complete proteins.
Fats
Good fats are essential for cats to help them stay healthy and active. We are talking about Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats. They provide your cat with energy and help with tissue development, as well as muscle, nerve and cellular function. In cat foods, fatty acids are often labeled "vitamin F."
In addition, these fatty acids are present if the cat food contains: alpha linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic or docosahexaenoic acid, conjugated linoleic acid.
Mineral salts
Cats also need mineral salts, just like any other living creature. They help with enzyme formation, pH balance, nutrient utilization, and oxygen transport in the body.
Here are the mineral salts that should be present in cat food: chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, zinc.
Vitamins
Vitamins can be divided into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Both types are very important for a cat's growth and for regulating its metabolism. Fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble vitamins include B and C.
Water
Every living thing needs water to survive. Your cat should always have fresh water within reach. If your cat eats dry food, she should drink a lot.
The more details, the better. Conscientious manufacturers indicate specific protein sources. It must be meat or fish, indicated as a percentage.
As for tastes, there is a huge variety of them; there are even rare types of meat and fish that can satisfy the taste of the most capricious animals.

This rating was compiled taking into account the quality of the composition and price of the feed. It is not an immutable truth. The cat itself will determine which taste is preferable to it.
Brit wet food: first impression
Canned food "Brit" is packed in a soft pouch. There is no clear indication on the label that this is a canned complete food. However, minerals and some balancing additives are included, so this wet food is more likely to be complete.
The product packaging is attractive. We found two labels here: "Delicate Meat Fillets in Gravy" and "Gently Steamed for Tender Flavor." Agree, this description sounds very nice!
Unfortunately, the composition of Brit with Chicken Chunks for Kitten does not make the same blissful impression. The promised “meat fillets” in the food description are apparently the same pieces of raw materials (chunks) immersed in sauce. Let's take a closer look at the components.
Veterinarian advice
Brit's products appeared on the Russian market long enough for experienced veterinarians to be able to give advice and feedback on its use.
The main ones:
- Brit brand food is perfect for cats of different ages and lifestyles. In addition, they are hypoallergenic and can be used as the only and main source of nutrition.
- The product contains a large number of natural meat ingredients, which contributes to the good health of the animal, improves the quality of the coat and strengthens the teeth.
- A varied and proper combination of meat and vegetables promotes healthy digestion and improved well-being.
- If your pet is accustomed to foods with flavor enhancers, he may not like Brit food at first, because... it does not contain such components.
- The animal's feces may become more "odorous." This is a natural reaction of the body to a more natural composition of the product.
Veterinarians agree that the food from the Czech company Brit is an original combination of ingredients, as well as vitamins and minerals. All these qualities allow us to recommend it for use for cats of all ages.
Reviews from veterinarians about Brit food
Experts speak very highly of Brit food for dogs and cats and often recommend that owners feed their pets with them. Veterinarians also noted the following advantages of these feeds:
- big choice;
- availability of not only dry products, but also canned ones;
- use of fresh and natural meat;
- affordability;
- The product helps improve the health of the animal.
Thanks to its composition, Brit food is healthy for dogs and cats, and it tastes great.
Flaws
Experts also note some disadvantages of this brand’s products:
- in some positions there is corn (in particular, in dog food), which is a very difficult product to digest;
- Brewer's yeast, although it improves the quality of the animal's coat, can cause allergies, vomiting and stomach upset in a cat or dog.
Another disadvantage that has been corrected by manufacturers is the presence of valerian in cat food. For this reason, many did not recommend this food so that it would not become addictive to the cat. However, the company reconsidered the need for this ingredient in the composition and decided to exclude it.

Feed range
Dry food is divided into grain-free, hypoallergenic and specialized for pets with certain health problems.
The manufacturer offers diets for pets of different ages:
- for puppies (from one month to 4 months);
- for teenagers (from 4 to 12-18 months);
- for adults (from 1-1.5 to 7 years);
- for the aging (from 7 years).
In grain-free formulas, grains are replaced by potatoes, and the main source of protein is fish. A large 12-kilogram bag will cost dog owners about 4,400-4,700 rubles.
Hypoallergenic food is made from lamb and rice. Their cost for 12 kg is 3,800-4,200 rubles.
Both lines are further divided by breed size:
- S – for pets weighing up to 10 kg;
- M – for pets from 10 to 25 kg;
- L – for breeds weighing more than 25 kg.
- The grain-free option also offers XL - for giant dogs weighing more than 45 kg.
Specialized diets come without divisions by size and age. Here food is selected exclusively for the special needs of the animal:
- Endurance is an option for dogs with a very active lifestyle or increased physical activity. It is made with duck meat and rice and is high in protein (46%) and carbohydrates (30%). Price for 12 kg – 4,200-4,350 rubles .

Brit Care has a fairly wide range of dog foods that differ from each other in breed size and age standards. The advantage of the brand is the presence of two separate product lines: hypoallergenic and dietary. Special diets are formulated for dogs with different activity levels and health conditions.
How to choose food
Natural food is considered the best food for a pet, but it is not always possible to match the percentage balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates to the natural needs of the cat’s body. In such a situation, the animal should be fed with industrial feed with a dietary composition as close as possible to natural food.
Currently, there is a wide variety of diets on the market, both domestic and imported, and for a beginner it will be a problem to choose quality food for your pet.
To choose the right food, it is important to navigate your pet’s taste preferences, the presence of allergic reactions or diseases, and physiological needs. You must first obtain advice from a veterinarian in selecting food for your pet.
Which cat food to choose?
When switching from eating natural products to industrial food, remember that the cat must consume a lot of clean water. Also, the transition should be carried out smoothly; gradual introduction of small portions of dry food will not lead to digestive tract upset. To begin with, you can use soft food in pouches or canned food. The ideal combination is dry and wet, feeding recommended by most experts.
When choosing food, pay attention to the composition and the place that meat occupies - it should come first
Conclusions about Brit cat food
