Grandorf dog food - full review of the line and reviews from experts

The health, grooming and activity of animals largely depend on the quality of food. The ideal solution is the hypoallergenic dry dog ​​food "Grandorf".

Holistic products are manufactured in Italy and Belgium in full compliance with the strict standards established in Europe.

Strict control is carried out at all stages of production. "Grandorf" consists of easily digestible natural ingredients, so it has rightfully become popular among pet owners.

Grandorf food line

It is difficult to independently provide your pet with a balanced, satisfying and healthy diet at different age stages. Therefore, taking into account the needs of dogs, the Grandorf line was developed.

It includes 4 categories:

1. Food with added probiotics. Beneficial natural microorganisms Enterococcus faecium help normalize the functioning of the digestive tract. Daily inclusion of this species in the diet of dogs allows not only to restore the intestinal microflora, but also to maintain it at the proper level. As a result, the digestibility of food increases, the deficiency of various micro- and macroelements is eliminated, which means that the external and internal condition of the animal improves.

Probiotics are introduced into the feed in the form of acid-resistant enteric capsules after the preparation cycle has ended.

This product is produced in bags of 1, 3 and 12 kg in two variations - 4 Meat & Brown (for adult dogs of any size) and “Mini” (for small animals).

The cost of food depends on the weight of the package and composition:

• 1 kg for all types costs 680 rubles, for small ones 740 rubles;
• price per 3 kg for small dogs 1849 rubles, small adult animals 1700 rubles, all types – 1400 rubles;
• 12 kg – suitable for all dogs and costs 5,500 rubles.

1. Low grain. The basis of this type of food is brown rice, lamb or white fish. Due to the absence of the vegetable protein gluten in the cereal, the food is perfectly digestible even by very young puppies and those pets whose stomachs are hypersensitive to foods. At the same time, rice is a valuable supplier of various mineral components, B vitamins and energy. For example, “Lamb with Rice” is available in six varieties, suitable for dogs of different sizes and ages:

• food "Grandorf" for puppies from three weeks, for pregnant bitches and during lactation for small and medium breeds;
• “Juniors” - for 4-month-old individuals, as well as for medium or large females during gestation and feeding;
• “Mini” - food for adult small animals;
• “Medium” - for medium-sized pets;
• "Maxi" - for large dogs from 1 year to 3 months.

“White fish with rice” for feeding adults also falls into this category. All these foods cost from 600-5000 rubles.

1. Grain-free. In this type of food "Grandorf" instead of cereals, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are included in the composition. Experts have developed 2 recipes containing a record amount of meat. But at the same time, the food is ideal for dogs prone to allergies, digestive disorders, hair loss and hypersensitive skin. For example, food with sweet potatoes and rabbit or duck meat, which are suitable for dogs older than one year and cost from 600 to 5 thousand rubles.

1. Wet. Available in canned food of 150-400 g. The composition contains 80% meat, the rest is rice. The cost of the can is 100-170 rubles. The consistency of the product is similar to pate, smells delicious and is suitable for dogs prone to allergies. Available in the following varieties:

• "Veal";
• "Lamb";
• "Rabbit";
• "Turkey";
• Chicken and Rice (ideal for puppies).

These foods can be given as independent food or alternated with dry granular supplements.

The cost of rations is average. It all depends on the promotions, bonuses offered and other personal conditions.

Pros and cons of food

The advantages of Grandorf are obvious. The daily norm has a composition with a huge percentage of natural ingredients, it contains vitamins, macroelements and no less useful microelements. This is due to the high percentage of high-quality meat components (fillets of animals, poultry and fish contain a sufficient number of calories and proteins for the life of a dog of any age).

• The nutritious plant composition has a healing effect for neutered dogs.
• The combination of meat and vegetables, herbs, berries speeds up digestion and normalizes stool.
• The food almost completely eliminates the possibility of allergic reactions, that is, it is hypoallergenic.
• A standard dosage of dry food contains the required daily amount of calories.
• Thanks to its vitamin-rich components, Grandorf restores intestinal microflora.
• If you correctly determine how much food to give, the number of inflammatory processes will decrease by 1.5 times.
• As the description says, rice and properly processed meat reduce the risk of developing pancreatitis.
• Different types provide the same effect: dogs look cheerful and feel great.
• Grandorf allows you to gradually and correctly gain muscle mass for large breed puppies.
• Cartilage and bones are well strengthened (especially from Grandorf mixtures, which contain four meats).

Professional dog breeders are wondering: is Grandorf or Farmina better? Perhaps Akana or other elite foods? The company's products do have serious shortcomings. If these are not taken into account, your dog may experience serious health problems. For example, the feeding table for this diet is as strict as possible. You can’t decide for yourself how much to feed. Lack of food can lead to vitamin deficiency. Excess has other consequences.

• The diet is low in fiber. One serving contains only 5% of the daily requirement, this is where analogues are more profitable.
• If you do not give additional vitamin complexes, the dog will experience constipation, diarrhea and bloating.
• The instructions warn that an overdose leads to disruption of digestive processes.
• Some reviews say that the quality of Grandorf products is lower than that of other mixtures aimed at Russia.
• The composition of the food with meat and fish is positioned as completely natural. But it still contains GMOs.

Recently, Grandorf's assortment has not expanded. But this brand still stands out from the rest due to its good composition, as well as the saturation of useful components of animal and plant origin. Considering reviews from veterinarians and mostly positive responses from dog breeders, this food can be recommended to anyone who does not mind investing in the health of an animal.

Daily norm

The recommended amount per meal is low compared to other brands of food. This is due to the fact that in terms of nutritional value and vitamin content, each granule is significantly superior to its analogues.

The composition of "Grandorf" is so well thought out and balanced that the food is equally useful for both small and large breeds.

Tables of daily volume are posted on cans and paper packages. But it should be remembered that they provide approximate serving sizes for animals with an average level of physical activity. The norm is calculated based on the pet’s weight, age and energy.

Benefits of holistic feeds

• All food is of high quality and is created according to original recipes. The meat content reaches 70%. If in a number of other foods healthy protein is replaced by inexpensive by-products, which only fill the animals’ stomachs, then in the case of holistic foods, the food is not only satisfying, but also healthy and balanced.
• There are no artificial additives that improve taste and smell, as well as preservatives. By the way, this becomes the reason that the shelf life of holistic feeds is relatively short and is about a year.
• Today, many pets are faced with the problem of allergies - using high-quality food helps to avoid it. At the same time, it is worth buying Grandorf - it is not only beneficial, but also a wide range of products, allowing you to choose an option for the most capricious pet with health problems.
