Cat food Leonardo / Leonardo: wet and dry food, reviews from veterinarians

Features and composition of food

Leonardo is a line of super-premium cat food. The production is carried out by a company from Germany called Bewital Pet Food. This company closely monitors the quality of the components from which the food is made and cooperates only with trusted suppliers of raw materials.

The product is very nutritious and healthy. Great for all cats, regardless of their age, activity status, breed or weight.

Leonardo's range of food is quite good. There are a total of 26 varieties of food. This means that you can choose any diet taking into account the individual characteristics of your pet. So, the range includes:

1. 11 types of dry food of the Start, Kitten, Adult and Senior series in packages of 400 g, as well as 2, 7.5 and 15 kg.
2. 5 types of canned food in cans of 200 and 400 g.
3. 10 varieties of spiders with different flavors, 85 g each.

At first glance, everything looks very promising. But is the food composition really that good? The ingredients are:

• meat and fish (duck, rabbit, chicken, veal, kangaroo, trout, ocean fish, shrimp, etc.);
• cereals (rice, corn, rye, etc.);
• herbs and berries (mint, alfalfa, chamomile, fennel, cumin, cranberry, apple, etc.);
• vitamin and mineral complex.

The composition of Leonardo food is quite good; it contains a large amount of meat and fish ingredients that a cat needs so much to get animal protein. In particular, wet food contains at least 65% meat, and dry food contains at least 30%. These are very good indicators.

Important! The manufacturer draws attention to the fact that the feed does not contain any artificial additives.

Manufacturer

Leonardo cat food is produced by Bewital, which was founded in 1963 by Berhard Wigger. The founder of the company loved animals since childhood and dreamed of doing something good for them. Already an adult, Berkhard founded a company that produces premium cat food, in demand in many countries around the world. The manufacturer's principle is unchanged - cats deserve the best food and special attention. That is why the company's products are made from selected products of high quality.

The products used to make the food are tested and meet high German standards. According to the manufacturer, all products manufactured at the company’s plant are suitable for human consumption. Modern technologies and the latest equipment are used to produce Leonardo food. The company constantly monitors the development of technological processes and introduces innovative ways to obtain the highest quality feed for even the most demanding customers.

All meat products and all fish enter production no later than 24 hours after killing, which guarantees the freshness and quality of the feed.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's now look at the positive and negative aspects of food.

The advantages are:

• the food is prepared exclusively from high-quality raw materials;
• absence of preservatives, genetically modified components, flavor enhancers;
• a huge amount of microelements and vitamins necessary for the functioning of the cat’s body;
• large selection of food.

The main disadvantage of Leonardo feed is its rather high cost. However, it is worth considering that the packaging is economical and lasts a long time. In addition, the quality of the product completely overcomes this drawback.

Important! All cats love wet food - this way their need for liquid is satisfied. Dry food is convenient because it does not dry out and can be stored for a long time. However, when feeding dry foods, there should always be clean water for drinking in a separate bowl.

Our verdict

Well, we must admit that the Leonardo spiders turned out to be a pleasant, high-quality product. The high content of animal ingredients, the absence of thickeners, grains and other low-quality components made us very happy. The guaranteed analysis corresponds to a complete diet, that is, you can supplement dry food with these spiders, or you can use them as your main food.

Obormot the Cat recommends Leonardo spiders, but we advise you to be careful with canned food.

Reviews

Let's take a look at some reviews about Leonardo food:

Tatyana: “I have a purebred ordinary Murka, but she is very picky about food. What didn’t I feed her! More or less, there is only homemade food and food from Leonardo. I only buy dry food. It seems like food is food. Of course, it’s a little expensive compared to others, but this is the only food the cat devoured completely. Everything seems to be fine with my health, I’m not losing weight, my stool is normal. Good food!"

Anton: “I have a sphinx. The cat is purebred and demanding to care for. A year ago I noticed that she started having skin problems. It started to peel and became dry. We were treated by a veterinarian, so he advised us to switch to Leonardo food for allergy sufferers. I bought a small pack to try. Everything went well, the cat ate food and his condition improved after two months. From now on I will only buy food from this brand.”

Valentina: “I’ve been buying Leonardo food for a couple of years now. I order it online, since it is rarely sold even in pet stores. My cat really liked spiders. They are also convenient to use. 1 package – for one feeding. The range is varied, there is plenty to choose from. The lineup is just a dream.”

German quality

The company's founder, Bernhard Wigger, grew up on a farm where he was constantly surrounded by animals. Therefore, when choosing the idea of ​​​​creating his own business, he did not hesitate. The task was not just to launch production and make a profit, but to create a truly high-quality food that would take into account the physiology of cats as much as possible and provide their fragile body with everything necessary.

This is how Leonardo cat food was born. His strong point is advanced technologies and the latest equipment in factories. All products undergo strict certification and quality control. All ingredients are suitable for human consumption. Meat and fish are processed here within 24 hours after slaughter. Leonardo cat food is a premium product that is the best on the market today.

Product range

These basic components are absorbed by the cat's body by more than 90%, which allows a smaller amount of food to provide the pet's body with all the necessary nutrients.

• Leonardo Senior.

This type of food is intended for aging cats after 10 years. Starting from approximately 10 years of age, a cat’s need for nutrients changes. Therefore, the company released this type of product taking into account possible changes in the animal’s body.

The ProVital system in the product improves immunity thanks to beta-glucans in brewer's yeast. The STAY-Clean additive allows you to remove plaque, PH control optimizes urine pH.

Characteristics of the first component

The first five components make a mixed impression. Place No. 1 here is occupied by an interesting mixture - pieces of fresh meat, liver and lungs of lamb. On the one hand, it is good that this source of animal protein is added fresh, and that it is 30% of the diet.

On the other hand, the ratio of the three components of this mixture is completely unclear - it may turn out that there are much more offal than muscle meat. It is impossible to find out for sure. Of course, it is preferable when the manufacturer indicates such ingredients in the composition separately, clearly indicating the dosage or proportion of each of them.
