Pronature Holistic Cat Food Review

All Pronature Holistic brand products for cats are manufactured by PLB International Inc. This is a large Canadian company specializing in the production of pet food. Among the products they have released, you can find such a famous brand as 1st Choice, which offers super-premium food.

Pronature Holistic guarantees high quality and abundance of nutrients in the composition

The Pronature brand itself can be divided into several lines:

• Holistic. This is food of the highest quality, made from natural ingredients. Unlike economy and premium dry food, it can be consumed even by people without any threat to health.
• Life. This line belongs to super-premium products. Additionally, it is divided into Infinity, Chill and Fit, which help improve the general condition of the animal, strengthen its body and muscles, and relieve stress.
• Original. The very first brand released by PLB International when creating Pronature food. This is a super premium food that contains a sufficient amount of animal protein and many vitamin and mineral supplements. The downside is the presence of corn and the not always known origin of the meat ingredients.

Note! Holistic foods vary in their purpose. They should be selected in accordance with the age, physiological characteristics and activity of the cat.

Alternative options

If for some reason the food was not suitable, the cat did not want to eat it, or it was simply not possible to buy or order it, then in search of an alternative you need to turn to products of a similar quality level. This is primarily a super premium and holistic food.

There are several types of food:

Pronature foods come in a wide range of flavors

The nutritional value

Having analyzed the components contained in one pack, you can see that the majority of the nutrition is protein - this is 30% of the total composition. Proteins here are represented mainly by ingredients of animal origin, that is, meat and meat flour. Dehydrogenated components may be present.

Important! It is necessary to distinguish the word “turkey” from the phrase “turkey meat”. In the first case, there is a risk that all parts of the bird, including offal, were used in production.

Next after protein in Pronature for cats is fat – 20% of the total mass. It is taken from meat components, as well as flaxseed. Sources of carbohydrates here include ingredients such as sweet potatoes and peas. This applies mainly to grain-free foods.

Some products are made using grains, but even then, manufacturers do not use wheat and corn, cheap fillers often used in economy diets. Instead, Pronature adds crops such as wild and brown rice, oatmeal and barley to its cat food.

Composition of vitamins

To maintain normal functioning of the digestive system, improve the condition of bones, skin, coat, and maintain optimal health, animals need nutritional supplements. They understand this very well and use an extensive vitamin and mineral complex in their dry food, which is based on natural ingredients.

Pronature cat food contains the following nutritional additives:

• vitamin A;
• ascorbic acid;
• cobalt;
• zinc;
• vitamin D3;
• iron;
• copper;
• selenium;
• vitamin E;
• iodine;
• manganese.

The food is enriched with antioxidants, which help the animal always remain in good shape, fill it with energy, have a beneficial effect on the coat, making it shiny, and give elasticity to the skin. Sources of this component are blueberries and rosemary.

For your information! Pronature holistic food, especially for kittens, is rich in fiber, which is good for digestion.

To provide pets with a sufficient amount of fiber, manufacturers add dried natural ingredients to their products, such as apple pomace, pineapple, and tomato pulp. You can also find vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, parsley) in the composition, which are sources of vitamins.

During the period from 40 weeks to one year, food is given in the following doses:

• 2–4 kg – 45–80 g;
• 4–6 kg – 80–105 g.

Thus, when using Pronature food for kittens, the baby will receive from 85 to 594 kcal daily, depending on age and weight.

The dosage for an adult cat is calculated as follows:

• 2–3 kg – 30–40 g;
• 3–5 kg – 40–60 g;

A daily serving contains from 130 to 303 kcal.

Older pets should be fed as follows:

The amount indicated on the pack is enough for the cat to receive the amount of nutrients and vitamins it needs. However, it is also important to monitor your pet’s attitude towards food and take into account its physiological characteristics. Some pets require less food, others more, and this is normal as long as they feel comfortable, remain active, and do not lose or gain much weight.

Reviews

Before you buy a package of Pronature food, you can read reviews from veterinarians and buyers. Here's what they write:

Mira: “I have a six-year-old Bengal cat. And what did I feed him? At first it was Friskies - it became clear that the diet was not suitable for us, as diarrhea began. Then we switched to Proplan, but I didn’t really like the composition. Then I decided to try holistic medicine, the veterinarian recommended Pronature.

I immediately liked the composition, there was nothing “criminal” about it. The only thing that is alarming is the high ash content. It is, of course, expensive, but it is also consumed slowly, about 60 g per day. In general, I can say that the food suited my cat.”

Elena: “I have always fed my cats only premium food. I think that health is more important. Out of curiosity, I bought Pronature Meat Paradise. I was attracted by the fact that the composition contains only natural products. There are no complaints. After a month, I noticed that the cats’ fur became shinier and even thicker. They go into the litter box normally, there is no strong smell.”

Olga: “Good afternoon! I have 2 Scottish Folds. I once fed them Royal Canin, but after they began to be produced in Russia, the quality of the food deteriorated noticeably. We decided to try the Canadian brand Pronature Original. It is not sold in stores, so I order it online. The cats eat with gusto, their health is fine, there are no complaints. Everything suits me and my pets.”

Price and where to buy

One of the advantages of the feed is its abundance. Today Pronature can be seen in most pet stores in large Russian cities. If you can’t find food, you can always order it online. You can purchase it from various online stores that deliver throughout the country.

Costs may vary depending on the type of food, pack size and region in which the product is purchased. Average prices look like this:

• 2 kg - 1600 rubles*;
• 2.72 kg - 2000 rubles;
• 5.44 kg - 3300 rubles;

Pros and cons of Pronature feeds

Veterinarians recommend Pronature because this brand has a good composition that is perfect for cats of all breeds. A large amount of animal protein is a necessary condition for the normal life of a pet and the food provides it. All ingredients in the food are natural, so you don’t have to worry about your pet getting sick from it. In addition, Pronature Holistic is rich in vitamins and minerals that support health.

The natural composition of Pronature Holistic is its main advantage

Another advantage is the wide variety of products. If the cat is active by nature, there is a special high-calorie food for it. Elderly and inactive pets, on the contrary, are offered light food that will satisfy their needs and eliminate the risk of obesity. This suggests that producers care about the characteristics of each animal.

Among the disadvantages of the food, we can only mention that the composition is sometimes not clearly stated. Some products indicate the presence of chicken, turkey and other ingredients, but do not indicate which specific parts were used - meat or offal. In addition, food is expensive and not everyone can afford it.

Pronature Holistic is a high-quality Canadian food containing exclusively natural ingredients. The products provide the cat with everything it needs and help keep it in good shape.

Reviews of Pronature cat food

Tamara: “My cat is a very picky eater and choosing food for her is incredibly difficult. We tried to feed her natural food, tried a lot of ready-made food - the cat did not eat, and if she did eat, it was without appetite. Through trial and error we came to Pronature. My princess looked favorably at the Canadian food. We’re still finishing the first package of food, but I think I’ll order again.”

Maria: “My mistake was to take the middle package right away. Initially, I myself didn’t like the look of the food – it was somehow not dry and not crispy. My fears were confirmed - the cat did not eat Pronature. More precisely, he will “peck” at a few granules, but the rest has to be thrown away. I'm trying to mix dry kibble into wet food, but it doesn't work. Then the cat is not there at all. Maybe, by the way, this is good and means that the manufacturer does not mix substances that attract cats into the food, but I will not keep my pet on a starvation diet.”

Georgy: “We have two cats in our family, both of them were sterilized. After the operation, their taste preferences changed and both of them refused their usual food. We have been eating Pronature for six months now and I like the results so far - the cats have become fluffier, their fur is shiny, their stool is full and smells normal. I will recommend him to others with a clear conscience.”
