Composition of Pronature Original Adult Meat Fiesta Chicken food for cats

Composition analysis

When creating super premium food, only high-quality ingredients should be used, in particular, we are talking about meat - a source of protein, and holistic products in general should be devoid of potentially dangerous and allergenic components. It is possible to understand whether a particular food actually has the class affiliation that the manufacturer claims is possible only on the basis of a detailed analysis of the composition.

Original Series

Let's look at the main components of the most popular food option for adult cats - with chicken:

• chicken flour - in the first place is the main source of protein, which is obtained from the meat and skin of poultry, it is easily digestible and is of high quality;

  Chicken is an excellent option for the main source of protein in cat food.

• in second place is barley, one of the main sources of carbohydrates; crushed grain is a neutral component that does not carry any potential danger to the animal;
• Brewer's rice is another source of carbohydrates, such rice is the dry residue of grain that remains after preparing beer or wort; it cannot be called the best option for the animal, since it is less valuable compared to whole rice;
• chicken fat is a source of linoleic acid, a big plus is that this component is preserved in a safe way - a mixture of tocopherols, that is, vitamin E;
• natural flavoring - it is not specified in the composition, but usually extracts of various strong broths that do not contain harmful artificial ingredients are used as such;
• dry beet pulp - this component is often used in industrial feeds as a source of fiber; it is a natural stool fixative;
• whole flaxseed is used as a component with a high content of healthy unsaturated fatty acids; the addition of this ingredient has a positive effect on the condition of the animal’s coat, and also helps prevent constipation;

  Whole flax seeds in cat food are a component that has a beneficial effect on the condition of the animal’s coat.

• dried cranberries - the berry is a natural regulator of urine acidity and is useful for the functioning of the urinary system in cats;
• flavoring and aromatic additives: yeast - this component does not carry a nutritional load and is used solely to enhance taste; it is worth noting that yeast can cause allergies in some cats;
• salt is a flavor enhancer;
• thyme is a herbal ingredient that has an attractive aroma;

Pronature Original food contains a lot of useful components, which makes it especially valuable for cats

When evaluating food, you need to pay attention to a number of numbers, namely, guaranteed analysis data that demonstrates the manufacturer's compliance with nutrient standards. Thus, 1 kg of “Original” chicken feed contains a minimum of 28% protein, 18% fat, a maximum of 3.5% crude fiber and 8% ash. The calorie content of the product per 1 kg is 4240 kcal. Considering that it is recommended to give a cat weighing 3 kg a third of a measuring cup per day (this is approximately 40 g), the calorie content of such a dose is 170 kcal, which fully corresponds to the average need of the animal (it is believed that per 1 kg of its weight a cat should receive 50–60 kcal).

It is necessary to calculate the daily amount of feed based on the feeding rates given by the manufacturer on the pack

Table: analysis of the composition of Pronature Original chicken feed

In other foods in the series, the composition is similar, only individual components and sometimes the positions of the guaranteed composition differ:

• in the food for kittens, dried egg and salmon fat are added, the protein percentage is higher - 30%, as well as the fat content - 20%, while fiber and ash are less - 3% and 7.5%, respectively, which is dictated by the characteristics of the animal’s growth period; The calorie content of 1 kg is also slightly higher - 4310 kcal;
• in food for adult cats with meat, in addition to chicken meal, there is salmon and lamb meal, guaranteed analysis and calorie content do not differ from food with chicken;
• in food with seafood, the main source of protein is still chicken, but it contains flour from salmon and herring meat, guaranteed analysis and calorie content do not differ from food with chicken;
• in the diet for older animals, oat grain, dried tomato pulp and salmon fat are added to the composition; the food contains less fat and protein - 13 and 27%, respectively, but the caloric content is not changed.

The average cost of a 2.72 kg package is 1,300 rubles. Based on the table of daily norms, for an average cat weighing 3–5 kg, such a pack will last about 2 months.

Holistic Series

Compared to the Original series food, the Holistic series products for adult cats use an order of magnitude more diverse natural ingredients. Let's look at the main components using the example of turkey and cranberry food:

• sources of proteins: turkey meat (a dietary ingredient that is easily digested), dehydrated chicken meat, herring meal (a source of proteins and fatty acids, excellent for the condition of cats' fur), dehydrated eggs (obtained as a result of heat treatment of chicken eggs, which leads to partial loss of their benefits);
• brown rice is a high-quality source of carbohydrates and fiber, as well as a natural stool solidifier, and is one of the lowest allergenic grains among grains;
• barley and oat kernels, rice bran are also sources of carbohydrates, the latter are especially valuable, contain a large amount of fiber and improve the process of food absorption in the intestines;
• fruits, vegetables and berries: organic dried cranberries and blueberries, dried pineapple (positively affects the functioning of the pancreas and intestines, removes fluid from the body), organic ginger (has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties), beet pulp, dried tomato and apple pulp, organic dried broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, organic juniper berries;
• organic dried herbs, rich in beneficial components: rosemary (preservative), alfalfa, parsley, quinoa, spinach, dried mint and green tea extract are added to the food to freshen the animal’s breath;
• chicken fat preserved with natural tocopherols;
• whole flaxseed;
• small shrimp and crab shell;
• Chicken seasoning, salt, mint, honey and yeast were used as flavorings and flavoring additives;
• small shrimp and crab shell;
• vitamin and mineral supplements.

The guaranteed analysis of the main nutritional parameters is practically no different from the “Original” line for adult cats. The amount of protein is 28%, fat is 18%, ash is 8%, but there is a little more fiber - 4%. Calorie content is also no different - 4240 kcal per kg of product.

As in the “Original” line, the composition of other holistic foods is almost completely the same, with the exception of certain components:

• in kitten food, sources of protein include fresh chicken, chicken meal, herring meal, dried eggs, and sweet potatoes are added to carbohydrates; similar to the super premium food from this manufacturer, the food for kittens has a higher protein and fat content - 30 and 20%, respectively, the calorie content is the same as that of food for adults;
• in the fish version, the first place in the composition is fresh Atlantic salmon meat, the protein content and calorie content are no different, but there is more fat in it - 20%;
• food for adult cats with duck and oranges includes fresh duck meat as the main source of protein, as well as dried regular and sweet potatoes, dried orange pulp; does not contain grain components at all, has a high content of protein (33%) and fat (20%), while the calorie content does not differ - 4240 kcal;
• The diet for older cats is based on white ocean fish meat, includes potatoes, brown and regular rice, and has a reduced fat (12%) and protein (27%) content.

The cost of such food is much higher; for a pack of 2.72 kg you will have to pay an average of 2,500 rubles. The consumption of this product is similar to the “Original” series, so a package for one average cat will also last for 2 months.

Reviews of Pronature Original food for cats

I bought a variety of foods for my tailed animals and for some time tried to balance their natural diet. But after stories with illness and expensive treatment, I decided to switch to food and now I am especially careful about its selection.

I don't want to experiment on my cats. Therefore, I try to buy food with a good composition. Super premium class has been quite expensive lately, so this food is the “golden mean” for me.

Judging by the pet who is most sensitive to food, after almost a year of consuming food, nothing bad has been observed: shiny coat, cheerful, playful condition. For the rest, the fur began to improve very noticeably since the start of consuming Pronature.

I also pay attention to the fact that the food has a rather tasty smell, and not as strong as some others. Therefore, at the moment, I am satisfied with this food, I recommend it to all cat owners.

Review from Neolin

The photograph is not a direct representation of the reviews presented in the review.

I used to buy 1sy Choice food. The cat's fur began to fall out. I fed for quite a long time. I endured everything, maybe over time the molting will end. The cat's body adapts. Also, the smell from my mouth did not disappear. When I once again went to the feed website I came across Pro Nature original.

It was probably a holiday for the cat. He eats with pleasure. After giving birth, I bought Pro Nature Original kittens for her and the kittens. I gained weight after giving birth in a matter of weeks. The food is very fatty and the percentage of meat is higher compared to other foods in this price category. Pets eat it with pleasure. The smell is very good. It smells like crackers.

I advise those whose home budget does not allow them to buy super-premium food. Pri Nature original is both high quality and affordable.

Review from 574492r

We would love to hear feedback from veterinarians and customers about Pronature Original food. When we receive product reviews, we will definitely post them in this section.

Consumption rate, advantages, disadvantages

Each pack of Probalance food comes with detailed instructions. The product must be used taking into account the recommended dosages. The daily rate of its consumption is determined by the body weight of the animal:

• less than 2 kg - no more than 60 g;
• 3 kg - from 60 to 70 g;
• 4 kg - from 70 to 80 g;
• 5 kg - from 80 to 90 g;
• more than 6 kg - from 90 to 100 g.

If the body weight does not correspond to the age category of a domestic cat or there are any doubts about the animal’s health, it is better to consult a veterinarian in advance. This will allow you to avoid the negative consequences of consuming Probalance food and achieve maximum benefits.

This cat food has both pros and cons. The main advantages include an affordable price, a balanced composition and the presence of a large number of useful macro- and microelements. In addition, the Probalance product goes well with wet types of cat food.

One of the shortcomings is the lack of awareness. Thus, in some cases, the manufacturer does not indicate on the packaging what birds the product is made from. In addition, Probalance contains antioxidants. Despite the fact that these compounds can be beneficial for the cat's body, they can cause allergic manifestations and exacerbation of gastrointestinal pathologies.

Another drawback of the product is the lack of special additives for nursing and pregnant cats. Another disadvantage is the presence of peas in the composition. This product often causes bloating

This is not a problem for adults, but kittens should be given food especially carefully.

It was developed taking into account the characteristics of the cat's body and meets all necessary veterinary standards. Consumers love that the line includes food designed for spayed and neutered pets. You can buy food at any pet store. Its cost is from 18 rubles.

Review of Pronature Original cat food

To the question “Is it worth feeding cats dry industrial food?” We have already answered, then we move on to the next step - choosing a brand of food. The food we are about to talk about is called Pronature Original. It belongs to the super premium class, its production is located only in Canada. Of course, this means both good quality and control over its manufacturing process. In Pronature Origina food, the main component is flour made from chicken meat; in addition, it also contains other components - vegetables, fruits and various additives, which are very useful for our fur pets, as they are the most important sources of vitamins and minerals .

Advantages and disadvantages

• The main advantage of Pronature food is its high quality. In Canada, where it is produced, they closely monitor that the quality of the product is at its best.
• Another nice thing is the affordable price. In the vast majority of cases, holistic-grade food is quite expensive.
• Third, there is a lot of choice. Even if your cat is very capricious and picky about food, in the Pronature line of food you will certainly find one that will suit her taste. It is also good that elderly animals, as well as those suffering from certain diseases, are not forgotten.

Despite the undeniable positive qualities of this food, it also has some disadvantages. Not all cats like it because of its high, compared to other foods, ash content - 9% (the norm is no higher than 7%). Some animals cannot be switched to it from cheaper brands. The food contains yeast, cellulose powder, tomato mixture - everything that a cat could do without.

Reviews of Pronature Original food for cats

A girl named Mira writes a review of Pronature Original food:

"Good afternoon. We have a five-year-old Bengal cat, whatever we fed him... At first it was Whiskas and Felix, then it became clear that such a diet was harmful (the cat began to have digestive problems and often had diarrhea). Next we tried the highly praised ProPlan and Royal Canin, but their composition did not meet the high price. So we reached the super premium class and tried Pronature Original.

The composition in the feed is much better than all the previous ones and is consumed more slowly - only 60 grams per day. However, the purchased package ran out, but the problem still remained - although there was no diarrhea, the bowel movements were still too liquid. Therefore, we continued to search further, some kind of food would definitely be ideal.”

Irina writes a review of Pronature Original cat food:

“We always fed our pets dry food Fest Choice, but one day it was not in the store and we bought Pronature Original Meat Fiesta. The composition of the food is good, there are no chemicals, everything is natural. Unfortunately, it didn’t suit all of our cats; after several days of feeding, two cats’ stools became liquid. It would be possible to buy them food from a different brand, but it’s not convenient, now it’s back to Fest Choice. There are no complaints about Pronature Original, because we have a lot of cats, three cats and always have kittens, among the latter, sometimes even Choyz is not suitable for someone.”

Olga writes a review of Pronature Original food for cats:

"Hello! I have two fold-eared Scots, I once fed them only Royal Canin, but they began to produce it in Russia and everyone started talking about the deterioration in quality. Considering the considerable price, I decided to upgrade to something better. Pronature is a Canadian brand, and everyone always praises Canadian food, so I decided to try it first. It was not available in local stores and is still not available, so I order it online. The cats eat deliciously, their health is fine, there are no complaints. In general, everything suits me and the cats. I recommend the food."
