I ordered Guabi Natural instead of Fest Choice food, it is much more profitable financially, by about 50%. In principle, the previous food was fine, but the desire to save money and good advertising tempted me to try the new one. At the time of purchase, there were very few reviews about Guabi; it was not completely clear how super premium it was.
The first impression is that the packaging is somewhat unpresentable, but that’s okay, the main thing is what’s inside. Triangular-shaped food granules, slightly smaller than in choice, look less greasy and have a stronger odor. She switched the cat to new food, mixing it with the old one, gradually increasing the proportion of the new one. The transition went without problems.
Now 2 months have passed and the 3 kg package has been eaten. At first everything was fine, but then changes in the condition of the coat became noticeable, it became dull and shed more. Otherwise, the cat seems to be healthy, but deterioration of the coat is a sufficient reason to return to Fest Choice.

Good day everyone, friends! I share my impressions of Guabi Natural food for cats. I have six Scottish dogs of different ages and gender status. Two young ladies were castrated due to acute purulent metritis. One gentleman has very sensitive digestion, chronic “belching.” A young married couple who have just fed their kittens. And the cat is Van color on white (the white on Royal was turning yellow).
We ordered a bag of 7.5 adult and 7.5 persian for testing in our hometown of Samara. We've been open and testing for almost a week now. My observations: first they approached, sniffed, buried and started sniffing again. Crunched without fanaticism. I was upset. I really wanted the tails to like the food. She left for work. I come and see - they ate. Moreover, “Persians” are eaten better than adult ones.
A day later: the stool is good, regular in shape, well boiled, without blood or mucus. One elderly castrated cat has colitis and may react to a change in food with blood and mucus in the stool. But not in the case of Natural. Everything is fine. They eat without gorging themselves. But they stopped begging for wet food. This means they are completely full. They didn’t drink any more water either, I keep an eye on this, as I do on everything related to my animals. It doesn't itch, my eyes are fine.
The result is that I am very pleased that I decided to get acquainted with Guabi Natural. The goal was to find a replacement for “Royal” and “Pro Plan”. I really wanted to switch my pets to high quality imported food. I did it, I recommend it.

Customer Reviews
Elena Valerievna, breeder of Canadian Sphynxes:
“Our cats always ate Royal, but after production began in Russia, the quality dropped noticeably. The composition has become radically different, which is why some of my cats, frankly speaking, began to vilify. I was looking for a replacement for a very long time, and after reading reviews on the Internet, I decided to take Guabi Natural cat food. At first there were doubts about the quality - what kind of quality control can there be in Brazil. However, this stereotype was completely destroyed in my head - the food is very good, and my cats eat it with pleasure. The only caveat is that the croqueta differs in color from batch to batch, and no one can explain why this happens.”
Olga, owner of the cat Matvey:
“I learned about Guabi cat food when I started reading reviews on thematic forums. At first I thought that these were custom-made opinions, but I still decided to try it and bought a small pack. My Matvey happily eats the entire portion and asks for more, but I give him food in strict accordance with the recommendations on the pack. He is such a young man that he would eat everything, no matter how much you give him. The cat looks great and is in good health, so I advise everyone to at least try Guabi - you definitely won’t regret it!”
