Manufacturer and composition of food Brit

According to statistics, every second dog breeder has heard of the Brit brand of dry food, which is often used in diets for cats and dogs. These feeds are produced at the plant of the private organization Vafo Praha sro. The company owns 3 enterprises that are equipped with the latest technology. The company has been operating since 1994. During this time, she managed to prove the quality of the products. Rations of dry and wet food are imported to many countries, including Russia. The volume of products produced per year exceeds 58 thousand tons.

The main factor in the production of Brit food is the health of the pets. The recipe contains only natural ingredients that are easily digestible: fresh meat of chicken, lamb, turkey, deer. The food produced by Vafo Praha sro is aimed at protecting the animal’s body from the negative influence of the environment.

The feed contains no soy, food additives or GMOs. The company constantly monitors the quality of products manufactured at the enterprise.

Manufacturer information

The production of Brit Premium food is part of the family concern Brit Pet Food.

All feed is produced exclusively in Czech factories Vaho Praha . For many consumers, this is a good indicator, since when production processes are transferred to Russia, in most cases the quality of the feed begins to drop significantly.

The company has been operating since 1994 and managed to establish itself as the best Czech brand in 2016. Today Brit supplies its products to more than 60 countries around the world.

Almost nothing is known about the production process itself, except for what the concern itself reports on its official website www.brit-petfood.com:

• all company products are certified in accordance with quality standards;
• During production, clinical tests on animals are not performed;
• the food does not contain soy and GMOs;
• the manufacturer does not include products that can harm animals;
• All food consists of natural ingredients that are easily absorbed by the body.

From these statements we can conclude that the composition does not contain hidden dyes or flavors, as well as other harmful substances that may adversely affect the health of pets.

Brit Premium food line

When creating diets, manufacturers tried to take into account factors that affect the health and growth of pets of various ages and breeds. All dry dog ​​food is designed for each category: activity, age, size of the pet. Types of feed are determined according to the following criteria:

• small breeds weighing up to 10 kg – Small (S);
• average from 10 to 25 kg – Medium (M);
• large ones weighing from 25 to 45 kg - Large (L);
• more than 45 kg – Extra Large (XL).

For puppies

For pets under 1 year old, 2 diets have been created: Puppy - suitable for all sizes, Junior - there are divisions for puppies of large, medium and small breeds. Both meals include chicken meat and a rice base, while the protein component in the diet is increased (41–42%). The food contains useful substances: pectin, glucosamine, chondroitin, brewer's yeast and prebiotics. These components, together with fatty acids, keep the dog healthy and immune.

Ask a Question

Brit Premium food for up to 1 year of age is suitable for feeding dogs during pregnancy and nursing. This is due to the fact that the components of the diet contribute to the flow of milk.

For adult and senior dogs

For pets over 1 year old, use Adult food with rice and chicken flavors - S, M, L, XL. For older dogs (7+ years), there is a Senior diet.

Both types of food contain chondroitin, glucosamine and fish oil, which strengthen the dog's joints and ligaments. Prebiotics of natural origin have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract, digestion, and also improve stool. Such details are important for older dogs who have problems with this.

Hypoallergenic

Among the large range of Brit Premium food, the manufacturer also offers a hypoallergenic option with the main component in the form of lamb - Lamb&Rice. The cost is higher than the regular food in this line, but it is perfect for pets with allergies. Contains no ingredients such as corn and wheat.

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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Brit

Customer reviews about the food have both positive and negative information. But it is worth noting that consumers more often note the advantages of such nutrition than the disadvantages.

Benefits include:

1. Value for money. Among premium versions of food, the cost of Brit Premium is low, while the properties of the product are high.
2. Prevalence. This kind of food for dogs is very easy to find. Now you can find “Brit Premium” in any pet store.
3. Diversity. The range of feeds is quite wide. There are diets for each individual dog.
4. High percentage of animal protein content. This promotes good growth of the pet and its health.
5. Abundance of essential vitamins, supplements and minerals. Useful for every dog ​​at any age.

The disadvantages of Brit Premium food include:

• the presence of grains in the food that do not have any particular nutritional value for dogs;
• dubious inscriptions of the ingredients used, for example, “chicken” (in this format, the text may be interpreted incorrectly, hiding not pure poultry meat, but by-products from it).

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.”

You can buy Brit care food both in a pet store and online. Food for sterilized cats is slightly cheaper than for regular cats: approximately 260 rubles per 400 grams.

The better this food is than the rest

Dogs' bodies should consume the required amount of meat ingredients. But not all premium foods can fill this need. The main advantage of Brit Premium, in comparison with similar products, is the high content of meat component in the feed (41–42%).

Ask a Question

Among the clear advantages of this diet is the presence of apples in the diet. The addition of vegetables and fruits to premium products has become a rare occurrence.

Results

To make the final choice in favor of Brit food or against it, you need to compare the products of the Czech brand with analogues from the same price category and the same class. Which food is better: Proplan or Brit? This question is quite easy to answer: the nuances of their composition are the same, so you can choose the one that is cheaper. Brit's price is usually higher, but due to delivery to a specific region from another country, the cost may vary.

Can we say that Brit is a good food or not? To do this, you need to study a full review of it. In general terms, Brit enjoys a good reputation among breeders and a satisfactory reputation among veterinarians. Most of all, they recommend grain-free food for dogs with allergies, as well as regular diets for small dogs in the spirit of Yorkies and medium-sized animals. Therefore, you can purchase dog food from the Czech brand without any fear.

Recommendations

For each pet, it is recommended to select a specific diet, as well as its quantity. This way, the dog will receive all the necessary ingredients for good health.

1. For dogs aged 12 months, the daily intake for Puppy and Junior, depending on age and weight, should be 50-336 g.
2. Adult and Senior norms for dogs over 1 year old:

• 13-110 g – small breeds;
• 110-350 g – medium-sized dogs;
• 223-358 g – large dogs;
• 335-607 g – huge.

Reviews from veterinarians

Reviews among veterinarians about Brit Premium food:

1. Valentina: “The diet is not so bad in composition. It should be noted that the product contains a large percentage of meat, and there are no grains. This is very important for pets who suffer from allergies. Comparing with other manufacturers, it should be noted that the food contains fruits and herbal additives.”
2. Sergey, veterinarian: “The diet contains a large percentage of meat components. As in budget food, among the grains you can find rice or corn. Prebiotics, chondroitin and glucosamine, which are present in the diet, are of great importance, while there are no flavor enhancers or flavorings.”
3. Valentina, veterinarian: “Having analyzed the diets, we can conclude that the composition is far from bad for its price category.

There is some misunderstanding among buyers as well as among veterinarians. The product has certain disadvantages, however, everyone agrees that the advantages of the diet cover some of the disadvantages.

Anastasia: “I was pleased with the use of this Czech food. I have a small puppy, which is why I attach great importance to the volume of granules. Brit Premium is doing well with this. The lumps are small in size and fit perfectly into your pet’s mouth. My dog ​​immediately adapted to the new diet; I didn’t have to resort to tricks. The diet did not cause any problems for her. I advise you, the product is inexpensive and high quality.”

Tatyana: “I’ve been feeding my Labrador this food since puppyhood. In the fifth year, problems with ears and coat appeared. This is due to the fact that the dog has difficulty digesting chicken. The veterinarian recommended switching to hypoallergenic food. John hasn’t had any allergies for six months now.”

It is important to note that the composition of the product will allow you to give the dog everything he needs.

Forum for breeders and lovers of Maine Coon cats

I came across a review of super premium food on one website. Super premium food for cats

Those who have a pet for the first time usually do not know what this super premium food for cats is and how it differs, for example, from premium food for cats. In this article we will talk about the differences and features of “super premiums”, and also tell you which ones are better in composition, which are cheaper, and which are more popular among pet owners. Conventionally, dry cat food is divided into:

• Holistics;
• Super premium class;
• Premium class;
• Economy class.

This list is arranged in descending order of quality (from best at the beginning to worst at the end). Thus, super premium cat food is in second place out of four. A brief description of super premium feed is as follows:

• The source of proteins is meat and meat ingredients, their percentage is indicated. Corn gluten is not used (as in the premium class), sometimes potato or pea protein is present in small quantities.
• The source of carbohydrates is usually rice and oats, sometimes barley, potatoes. These ingredients are easier to digest and less allergenic than the wheat and corn used in premium products.
• Natural preservatives and antioxidants - usually a mixture of tocopherols (essentially vitamin E) and rosemary. If the preservatives/antioxidants used are not specified, then the food can hardly be called super-premium.

Also, representatives of the super premium class are generally significantly richer in composition than premiums. For example, they contain several meat ingredients, more vegetables, more healthy additives, and a better vitamin and mineral supplement.

List of super premium cat foods Many people are interested in which cat foods are super premium and which are not. After all, sellers in pet stores, online stores, and even ordinary pet owners often incorrectly classify this or that food in their reviews. For example, very often brands such as Hills Science Plan, Pro Plan and Royal Canin are called super premium, although the latter is now hardly a premium.

• 1st Choice
• Airi
• Arden Grange
• Blitz
• Bozita
• Brit Care
• Brooksfield
• Dr Сlauder's (Super premium)
• Dukes Farm
• Fitmin For Life
• Guabi Natural
• Josera (not Josera JosiCat)
• Landor
• Leonardo
• Naturea
• Natyka
• Mealfeel
• Meowing Heads
• Monge
• Profine
• Nature Life
• Pronature Original
• Royal Farm
• Sanabelle
• Savarra
• Summit
• Superpet
• Trainer
• Vigor & Sage
• Vet Life

The above list of super premium cat food is not complete; we will add to it as we write new reviews. In our reviews, we study the compositions, so our entire classification is based precisely on quality, and not on manufacturers’ advertising. Holistic food for cats also belongs to the super premium class, but since recently they have been distinguished separately, we have included them in a separate list. You can watch it a little later in a separate article. Rating of super premium food for cats All food actually belonging to the same class is approximately the same in quality. Nevertheless, there are still differences; they lie in the percentage of meat ingredients, sources of carbohydrates, the total number of ingredients in the recipe, and of course, in price. Often, foods that are comparable in composition differ significantly in price; our rating is based on the quality of the composition, price and reviews. Super premium cat food rating:

• Fitmin For Life (manufactured in the Czech Republic)
• Brit Care (made in the Czech Republic)
• Summit (made in Canada)
• Blitz (made in Russia)
• Leonardo (made in Germany)

This rating is subjective and does not claim to be an indisputable truth. In addition, in the future, as new reviews of super premium food are released, the rating presented may be changed. All super premium food is of sufficient quality that it can be fed to cats on an ongoing basis. Therefore, when choosing food from this class, focus not only on the rating and reviews, but also on the convenience of purchasing in your region. Examples of super premium food compositions To confirm our words that more expensive food is not always of higher quality in composition, consider an example. Let's take three foods: Brit Care, Sanabel and Bozita. The first one is one and a half times cheaper than the second one and almost half the price than the third one.

Above is the composition of Brit Care food; Bottom left - composition of Bozita food; Below right is the composition of Sanabelle food.

*The indicated prices are taken from the online pet store “Old Farm”. These are the prices of the Brit Care Angel Delighted Senior and Bozita Funktion Sensitive Hair and Skin formulas, the compositions of which are compared in the table. The table clearly shows that the Czech food “Brit Care” is in no way inferior to the Swedish “Bozita”, even slightly superior to it. For example, rice is better absorbed by the digestive system of cats than wheat flour and corn. Also, the first one does not contain corn gluten, natural preservatives (tocopherols) are used, and it is a good vitamin and mineral supplement. In the second, the preservatives are not specified, the vitamin and mineral supplement is not bad, well, a little worse. Reviews of super premium cat food There is no dry food that is suitable for absolutely all cats. Therefore, even about super premium food there are not only positive, but also negative reviews. Taking this into account, one review about any food will not show the whole picture, and publishing 3-4 reviews about each of the foods listed above in one article will result in too much text. But if you are interested in reviews, then choose which food:

• 1st Choice
• Blitz
• Bozita
• Brit Care
• Dukes Farm
• Fitmin For Life
• Leonardo
• Mealfeel
• Meowing Heads
• Monge
• Pronature Original
• Sanabelle
• Summit
• Trainer

By clicking on the links above with brand names, you will be taken to reviews of each specific food. Moreover, there you will find a full review with an analysis of the composition, pros and cons, and you can also rate and share your opinion about the food.

Price of super premium food As we noted above, despite the approximately similar composition of super premium cat food, the price can vary greatly. To clearly show how much, we give an example of the cost of some of these feeds:

• 1st Choice 2.72 kg - from 1195 rubles (~660 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Blitz 2 kg - from 363 rub.
• Bozita 2 kg - from 1412 rubles (~1059 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Brit Care 2 kg - from 841 rubles (~630 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Dukes Farm 2 kg - from 1250 rubles (~937 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Fitmin For Life 1.8 kg - from 940 rubles (~783 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Leonardo 2 kg - from 1064 rubles (~795 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Mealfeel 1.5 kg - 950 rub.
• Meowing Heads 1.5 kg - from RUB 1,287
• Monge 1.5 kg - from 870 rub.
• Pronature Original 2.72 kg - from 992 (~547 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Sanabelle 2 kg - from 1259 rubles (~944 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Summit 1.8 kg - from 820 rubles (~683 rubles for 1.5 kg)
• Trainer 1.5 kg - from 1018 rub.

The prices indicated are current at the time of writing - early October 2022. Over time, they can change significantly; the exact cost can be found on pet store websites, links to which are in our food reviews. Conclusion and conclusions From all the information above, the following conclusions can be drawn: the best super premium food is not necessarily the most expensive in its class. And another piece of advice - when choosing dry food for your pet, look not only at the inscription “super premium” on the front side of the package, but also at the composition itself. After all, it does not always correspond to this inscription. In conclusion, we note that there are many articles on the Internet with a list of super premium food for cats. However, most of them are written by human copywriters who have never even seen the brands they are classifying. As a result, the result is full of unreliable information (for example, such that Acana holistic is included in the list of premium feeds, and premium Royal Canin is assigned to the super-premium class). Our list and rating are compiled on the basis of reviews we have made, in which the composition of feeds is studied in detail. But it is on the basis of the composition that dry food is classified into a certain class. That is, the entire classification is based on the quality of the composition and without studying it one cannot call the food economy, premium, super premium or holistic. And, after the review, https://petobzor.com/korma-super-premium-klassa-dlya-koshek-spisok-rejting-otzyvy/ you can read the comments. Perhaps this will be interesting to someone.
