Good, truly high-quality, perfectly balanced cat food - this is how you can briefly describe the Go Natural line of cat food. These foods are produced in Canada and are positioned as holistic nutrition. All the ingredients from which the crackers are made are of a quality suitable for human nutrition. The composition and dosage of components is calculated taking into account the digestive characteristics of our mustachioed and tailed pets.

Go's cat food contains probiotics, minerals and vitamins. The concept is based on the use of only fresh ingredients - meat and agricultural products. Selection of raw materials of the highest quality is the main mission - this is what the Petcurean manufacturers write about themselves. The high quality of Go Natural formulations is ensured by compliance with three principles:

1. Release of goods in small batches.
2. Steaming.
3. Processing at low temperatures (no more than 90 degrees).

It is these three principles that make it possible to preserve the beneficial qualities of ingredients as much as possible.

Types of feed

In Russia, Ukraine and other countries, you can purchase only 4 varieties of Go food. It is easy to distinguish them from each other - by the marker strip on the packaging:

1. Food GO! Fit + Free (purple marker) is a grain-free food for kittens and cats based on four types of meat (chicken, turkey, salmon and duck).
2. Feed Go! Sensitivity + Shine (green marker) is a grain-free food for cats of any age with sensitive digestion, based on salmon and trout.
3. Feed Go! Sensitivity + Shine Limited Ingredient (yellow marker) is a grain-free cat food for animals with sensitive digestion, the main ingredient of which is fresh duck.
4. Feed Go! Daily Defense is suitable for kittens and cats. It is made from whole chicken, vegetables and fruits.

All these foods fall into the dry category. The disadvantage of the food line is the lack of specialized formulations for older animals, for castrates, and for obese cats.

Reviews of Gou cat food – breeders and owners

Arkady, breeder of British cats : “I have been breeding British cats for about seven years. I don’t have time to prepare natural food for my number of pets. I buy proven brands of dry food. Now I've switched to GO! Fit + Free Grain Free Chicken, Turkey, Duck Cat Recipe. Unfortunately, the food was not suitable for all cats. Several developed allergies. The vet said it was due to the very high protein content.”

Oksana, owner : “On the advice of the veterinarian, I switched my Maine Coon to mono-protein food with duck, because we had a food allergy to super-premium food. Go's cat food is holistic, and the duck brand is hypoallergenic. The allergy went away within a month.”

Reviews of kitten food

Natalya, owner : “What do I like about Go? The fact that all the food from this company can be given to both cats and kittens. They have a high protein content, and this is what growing babies need. I feed the mother cat and her offspring with dry fish food Sensitivity + Shine Freshwater Trout + Salmon Recipe. The cat is not emaciated, the kittens are actively growing.”

Reviews from veterinarians

Dmitry, veterinarian : “My clients often ask: “Is the GO brand suitable! for castrated animals." To which I answer them: “FOOD GO! have a very high calorie and fat content, which can lead to obesity in neutered animals and cats that lead a sedentary lifestyle.”

Canned food

In the Gou food line! There is canned food for cats. Their composition is as good as the composition of dry food. The only alarming thing is that canned food can be found on sale in both stationary and online stores, but there is not a word about them on the manufacturer’s official website.

Reviews

Vladimir Ivanov, leading specialist at the Verny Friend veterinary clinic:

– We often recommend Go! those who bring their cats to us for vaccinations and preventive examinations. For specialized treatment there are special veterinary food lines, and for everyday feeding of healthy animals Go! fit perfectly. They have a good composition, high quality, and a pleasant smell. However, we always warn that such food from foreign manufacturers is often counterfeited, and therefore you should carefully look at the packaging and ask sellers for product certificates.

Yulianna Kisenko, veterinarian at a commercial clinic:

– We purchase Go! dry food! for cats that stay with us for several days during foster care. Often, owners leave their pets behind if they need to go on vacation or a business trip. Unfortunately, not everyone brings the food that their animals are accustomed to at home, so we have to find a way out of the situation. Composition Go! eaten with appetite by most cats, they do not cause digestive upset even in the case of a sudden switch to these foods. Animals remain healthy and active.

Veronica, owner of two Persian cats:

“I used to feed my Paulina and Joseph Eukanuba, but for some reason they stopped bringing it to the store closest to us, so we had to look for a replacement. We've been on Go for over a year now! Both the cat and the cat are happy. I am also satisfied - both the price and the quality. And the main thing for me is that Gou granules are suitable for kittens who have just begun to be accustomed to regular food after mother's milk. Most often I take a medium-sized package - it lasts a long time, but not so much that the contents have time to deteriorate.

Oleg, owner of the Siberian cat:

– My cat often had problems with his fur. It fell off, forming tangles. The veterinarian advised me to change the food. I didn’t believe that there was a direct relationship; I thought that since the wool was long, tangles were inevitable. And I turned out to be not entirely right. Yes, tangles sometimes still form, but much less often than before, and noticeably smaller in size. And in general, my cat began to look better, shed less, the condition of his ears and eyes improved, and the smell from his mouth disappeared.

Valeria, owner of four mestizos:

– I picked up all my bullies on the street at different times. I treated him, vaccinated him, and now we live as a big happy family and love each other dearly. When the rehabilitation period ended, each new face was gradually transferred to Go Natural. I was impressed by the positive reviews on the Internet, and in practice I was convinced that they were mostly right. The only drawback of the food is that the sticker with the Russian composition is often erased or scratched, it is difficult to read, and everything on the factory packaging is in English.

conclusions

After analyzing the characteristics, composition and other information about Go! Natural Holistic can safely recommend this food for daily feeding of your pet cats. The undoubted advantages of this brand include:

• balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fiber;
• foreign production (which means strict quality control);
• the use of natural ingredients that are also suitable for human nutrition;
• reasonable prices for feed of this class;
• absence of chemical preservatives and flavorings in the composition;
• enrichment with micro- and macroelements, enzymes, vitamins, prebiotics and probiotics;
• food almost never provokes allergic reactions, since it does not contain grain components.

The disadvantages of the food include:

• are not always available in convenience stores;
• high cost (but any similar high-quality food will cost about the same);
• lack of information on canned food in the form of pates on the manufacturer’s website.

The main advantages and disadvantages of GO!

Like all holistic products, Go's cat food does not contain grains, which is the main advantage of the brand. Almost all feeds use several types of animal protein. The exception is a mono-protein diet with duck.

The second plus: the manufacturer does not hide the composition - there are no “dubious” ingredients on the packaging.

Minor minus of GO! – this is the absence of fresh meat ingredients. All protein components are supplied to production in raw form (frozen foods) or in the form of flour.

The second drawback is the meager assortment. The company does not produce medicinal food or special food for sterilized animals.

What food can you choose to replace Go!

The Russian market provides a large selection of feeds, varying in price and composition, including holistic feeds. If you or your pet are not satisfied with Go for some reason, you can choose another one that has the same level of quality.
