Composition of Grandorf cat food
Grandorf manufacturers selected the composition, striving to improve the health of furry purrs. Grandorf components are varied, and the content of grain components is kept to a minimum.
The line is divided into several groups according to grain content:
- Low grain cat food containing turkey meat, lamb without water and fat layers. In addition, Grandorf is rich in chicory, flax seeds, carrots, white whole rice and cranberries.
- Low grain type with probiotics. The composition includes rabbit, lamb, duck and turkey meat, salmon. In addition, the food contains a large amount of apples (dried), cranberries, chicory and sweet potatoes.
- The grain-free Grandorf is loaded with cod, herring, lard, turkey, apples, endive, cranberries and spinach.
Grandorf producers chose sweet potato and rice as the main source of proper carbohydrates. These ingredients are easy to digest. Rice saturates cats with fiber, and dried apples stimulate the gastrointestinal tract. Flax seeds and fish compensate for the lack of vitamins in the cat's body. The manufacturer of Grandorf has completely excluded chicken and beef from the ingredients. Also, there is no pork in the composition due to the high percentage of fat content.

Manufacturers do not add any flavors or dyes to the composition. This can be seen when weaning the animal off Whiskas (any other low-quality food) and switching to Grandorf. The cat resists for some time, trying to get the usual flavored delicacy, and refuses natural food.
The absence of harmful flavors in Grandorf does not make the animal want to attack new food.

Reviews from veterinarians about Grandorf food
Nikita Viktorovich
Quite often in my practice I have to treat animals with urolithiasis. As a rule, this disease occurs against the background of poor nutrition. The owners not only feed their pets food like Kitekat and Friskas, but also pamper them with treats from the table. This is what usually aggravates the situation. After the therapy, I always recommend switching the animal to high-quality food, namely Grandorf dry food, which brings the genitourinary system back to normal functioning. With its help, it is possible to restore the health of many cats that were killed by an incorrect diet.
Margarita Lvovna
After castration and sterilization, I advise animal owners to switch them to Grandorf wet food. This will prevent further complications and problems. The manufacturer produces a line of food for sterilized pets. They contain carefully selected components that reduce the suffering of purrs. They saturate the body with essential vitamins and microelements and promote rapid rehabilitation.

Experts' opinions
Reviews from veterinarians about Grandorf for dogs are mostly positive. Experts characterize it as the highest quality product out of many currently available on the market. Doctors cite a balanced composition, high digestibility and nutritional value as advantages. In their opinion, this is an ideal food option for four-legged friends of any age.
Dog trainers recommend purchasing Grandorf food, despite the fact that the product is not considered cheap, but when it comes to the health and mood of the dog, all the costs are worth it.
Judging by reviews from veterinarians, Grandorf dog food stands out significantly among other pet products on the market. The food has a unique composition and is therefore recommended by experts.
However, there are also isolated negative reviews. Consumers, wondering about it, found out that in Europe there is simply no such brand. And although the product is produced in European countries, it is not registered there; the product is released on the basis of a concluded contract. That is, any plant provides its equipment for the production of feed, but is not responsible for the composition of the products. That is why reasonable doubts arise about the quality of the product, and many veterinarians and dog handlers stop recommending the purchase of food to pet owners.
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.
Weight, kg) | 5-10 | 15-20 | 25-30 | 35-40 | 45-50 | 55-60 | 65-70 |
Norm for dogs with average activity (g) | 80-135 | 200-235 | 275-300 | 350-390 | 400-445 | 475-510 | 520-575 |

Ask a Question
The portion and daily requirement are determined by the owner or veterinarian.
What is holistic?
Holistic is not just a new fashionable term, it is a carefully balanced premium food, the main part of which is meat, and the rest is supplemented with vitamins and minerals necessary for life. Every cat is a small predator; scientists believe that its diet should contain at least 60% meat products, and if the owner feeds the pet natural food, then only 40% vegetables or porridge are allowed for 60% meat.
However, the same zoologists have proven that food from the human table does a lot of harm, since thrifty owners rarely maintain this balance. In addition, not the entire list of human food can be given to a cat, even if he begs for it very nicely. This is how specialized food was invented. After some time, the owners began to complain that not all pets could tolerate them, and deviations were observed. It turned out that even animals are prone to allergies and have individual characteristics in the digestive process. After some modifications, holistics appeared. The leading position among them is occupied by Grandorf dry cat food; reviews from veterinarians have confirmed that the formula is suitable for any breed.
