Brit Premium cat food: reviews and composition analysis

4537Administration

Brit kitten food is produced by a Czech company. There are two lines of this product: Brit Premium and Brit Care crazy. A product from the first category, despite the word premium in the name, does not meet all the requirements for high-quality food that a kitten needs for constant nutrition. The product from the second category belongs to the extra-premium class, and therefore Brit Care wet and dry food for kittens can be given to the pet as the main one.

According to reviews from a number of breeders, Brit food from the care line can be fed to both a pregnant cat and a cat that had to be castrated; The kitten also grows successfully on this diet. You just need to choose the appropriate composition, which will help with the advice of a veterinarian. If the Brit product is not a counterfeit, then the kitten should not experience any health problems from it, and the food does not cause the development of diseases.

You should only purchase food from a reliable, trusted place so as not to risk the condition of your pet. If you have doubts about the seller, then it is better to buy food for your pet elsewhere. It is important to remember that a kitten can consume Brit food only from the age of 2 months. Food labeled cat is intended for adult animals, while food labeled kitten is intended for kittens.

Characteristics of Brit food

Cat food produced in the Czech Republic varies in the level of product quality. It is manifested in the enrichment of the vitamin and mineral complex, the amount of allergens and the percentage of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Brit food is developed based on the company's principles:

1. High quality protein. By nature, cats are carnivorous animals, so they need protein, and carbohydrates are consumed in minimal quantities. The need for animal proteins is taken into account by this brand of food.
2. The variety of food range covers all ages and body characteristics of cats.
3. The feed uses only natural and environmentally friendly raw materials, which are also used in the manufacture of food products for people. Products are produced with the logo of the “bio” trademark.

"Brit" has established itself in the market as a good manufacturer of super-premium and premium feed.

Taking care of pets is the main principle of work when making food. Any experiments on them are excluded - this is what the manufacturer assures.

Compound

In the process of manufacturing Czech cat food, the manufacturer uses:

• dehydrated chicken 25%;
• chicken fillet, which is the main source of protein;
• rice bran, which compensates for the lack of protein in the animal’s body;
• chicken liver;
• rice;
• a small amount of chicken fat and salmon oil, which are sources of fatty acids;
• brewer's yeast and dried apples;
• sea ​​buckthorn and a small percentage of mananoligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides.

The presence of prebiotics in the composition helps stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms. Brit is a cat food of good quality. A significant advantage is the presence among the ingredients of a large number of vitamins and minerals, sources of protein and a minimal percentage of ash.

New line of super-premium Brit care cat food

The new “Britcare” attracts with an interesting bright design with images of cute pets and demonstrates a certain group. A specific food ration was carefully developed for each group.

The new product was developed with love for cats, taking into account all the features of their body:

• meat and fish in sufficient quantity;
• the new line does not contain soy and cereal products, corn, gluten (sticky protein), that is, the food is hypoallergenic;
• the necessary content of vitamin-mineral balance, which has a preventive effect on KSD (urolithiasis) if the diet contains plant components of sea buckthorn.

The Britcare food line has a wide range and is suitable for feeding different groups of cats.

The line takes into account the physiology of cats, carefully studies their food preferences, and combines the best ingredients in the product:

• meat and fish (rich in aminocarboxylic acids and sulfonic acids - taurine);
• natural fats that regulate the supply of unsaturated (unsaturated) fatty acids;
• vitamin complex strengthens the immune system.

"Brit premium" for premium cats

“Brit premium” is much cheaper and does not have a variety of protein composition, but is produced exclusively from chicken fillet and its by-products. In addition, it contains an increased percentage of plant components.

Foods in this class contain sufficient amounts of poultry protein at the beginning of the ingredient list. This means that the pet will not be deprived of the necessary proteins for a healthy lifestyle. Corn included in the diet does not provide any benefit to the animal; it is a relatively inexpensive raw material for dilution. A low fat diet is beneficial for cats that have been spayed and neutered.

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. It is necessary to first obtain the advice of a veterinarian in selecting food for your pet.

Which cat food to choose?

What you need to know! The main rule in choosing industrial food for your pet is to give preference to holistic, super-premium, premium food. The higher the quality of the food, the greater the percentage of meat components, which means the cat will receive the necessary microelements for a developed and active life.

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

Types of wet food

This kind of food is most often produced in special packaging called pouches (from the English pouch - bag). You can also purchase wet food in portioned cans. All of them are divided into different categories based on quality. Based on this feature, cat food comes in the following varieties (classes):

• economy - the most common and affordable food, which, however, experts do not recommend using for feeding a pet, since they are cheap, and, therefore, low-quality raw materials are used in their production (at the same time, huge amounts of money are spent on advertising);
• premium - food, in the production of which more natural raw materials are used; the developers make the composition quite balanced (however, the information on the packaging is not always clear and correct);
• super premium - high quality, natural raw materials are used in production, the necessary vitamins and minerals are added, the content of BJU is well balanced (manufacturers often produce various lines intended, for example, for sterilized cats and neutered cats, especially for long-haired animals, and there are also medicinal foods );
• holistic - food of the highest quality, which, as a rule, has an ideally balanced and high-quality composition, and often has medicinal lines.

It is worth noting that price is not always an indicator of quality. A very expensive package of food may not contain even a third of the nutrients a cat needs. Division into categories implies the quality of a product produced using a certain technology using a certain quality of raw materials.

According to their intended purpose, wet food is divided into products intended for constant nutrition (containing all the necessary substances and useful additives), and treats (insufficiently balanced nutrition, which, however, is made as attractive as possible for cats). The latter can be used to pamper your pet, help him survive stress, and persuade him to take medicine. It is not worth feeding your cat this type of food all the time.

In addition, medicinal feeds that are used in nutrition during certain periods (during illness, after surgical interventions) can be divided into a separate category.

In addition, wet foods have different consistencies. It can be a stew, pate, pieces in sauce and other forms.

Pros and cons of Brit food

This food is a worthy product that includes adherence to the principles of good quality nutrition and takes into account everything necessary for the development of small predators.

Pros:

• only natural ingredients of animal and plant origin are present;
• Animal proteins are always the first in the list of ingredients, so the diet is full of the necessary proteins for the development of the cat’s body;
• the composition of the feed is not hidden by the manufacturer and you can always get information about the percentage of components;
• animal fats are used (one of the main sources of low-fat amino acids), they add piquancy to the food;
• the use of chondroitin and glucosamine prevents the destruction of joints and cartilage;
• extracts from plants actively participate in eliminating the smell of excrement and regulate the digestive system;
• arginine is actively involved in the production of insulin, which benefits cats with diabetes and obesity;

Minuses:

• there are no specialized food (diet) for cats suffering from certain diseases;
• the presence of rice in the second position in some diets is not optimal nutrition for predators. At the same time, an increase in carbohydrates can have a negative effect on the cat’s body and cause gastrointestinal disorders;
• the corn used in production is a useless component.

The opinion of veterinarians

Elena, 48 years old, Nizhny Novgorod

Brit Premium is worth the price/quality ratio. This diet contains reduced levels of magnesium. This is a good prevention of struvite (phosphorus and magnesium stones). However, if the cat had or has oxalates (calcium stones), it is better to avoid this food.

Evgeniy, 42 years old, Moscow

Brit Premium is a worthy product from a Czech manufacturer. Test results on cats prove that this diet has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the body.

It is important to ensure that your pet drinks plenty of water. Normally, he should consume 3 times more fluid than he eats food, i.e.

if the feeding rate is 60 g per day, then 180 ml of water per day is needed.

Alexander, 39 years old, St. Petersburg

Brit Premium for castrated animals contains only chicken as animal protein. It happens that pets refuse to eat it. In this case, you can try food for castrates based on chicken and turkey from the Brit Care line. It is more expensive, but has an improved composition (does not contain soy, grains and corn).

Anna, 36 years old, Izhevsk

Finding food after sterilization can be problematic. Some pets initially refuse ready-made dry diets. In this case, premium British canned goods are suitable. However, they are more expensive. In my veterinary practice, I often encountered cats who refused dry Brit. This may be due to the lack of flavorings and flavor enhancers.

Positive reviews

Recently we switched to Brit. It is cheaper in price than other brands, and in composition it is no worse than the same Royal Canina. The cat eats it with great pleasure, but quickly gets full. If you fill the bowl with food in the morning, the cat slowly empties it throughout the day, not all at once. The food does not have an unpleasant odor. A 1.5 kg package lasts us for a month; thanks to the zip-bag type closure, the food is stored securely and does not erode. No allergies or eating disorders were noticed, the cat’s behavior and mood did not change.

Сherreview

I have been keeping cats for over 15 years. In principle, there have never been any problems with nutrition, but a year ago one of the tailed cats currently living with me began to tear out his fur in shreds and became very thin. Previously, there were no problems with the same food and the cat was quite well-fed, although by spring he was steadily losing weight. Since the animal was treated for parasites, I turned to the veterinarian, who advised me to change the food. After asking if I could try Brit and receiving a positive answer, I purchased dry food from this brand. The cats eat it with pleasure, especially the chicken one, although my other tailed one is quite difficult to please. After some time, the cat, which had the problems described above, got rid of its habit of tearing out its fur and began to gain its weight back. The animals' fur began to shine and even seemed to become smoother. True, they eat it, albeit in smaller portions, but more often. The animals' stool returned to normal (with Perfect Fit and PurinaOne, problems in the form of diarrhea periodically arose).

Conclusions about Brit cat food

One important factor is feed production in the Czech Republic. Imported food was considered by owners to be of better quality than domestic food, which is not inferior to other super-premium brands, providing the opportunity to feed their pets with high-quality and specially selected food.

Many owners note that for several years the quality of this food has not changed, but has remained consistently at the proper level. The ratio between price and quality is satisfactory and allows you to diversify the menu of your mustachioed pet by changing food from one line.

In general, “Brit” is a rationally formulated industrial food of super-premium and premium class, providing a large selection of dry and wet food for furry beauties and handsome men.
