Once a veterinarian recommended Fitmin food. I bought it for testing for sterilized cats. My Peach ate with great pleasure, even purring. The composition of the food is very good, in the first place is meat, and not some corn, as is often the case. There's a lot of useful stuff there.
I mainly buy food for castrated cats and long-haired cats, but sometimes for variety I buy food with fish or game meat. We tried the whole line! They mixed different types. My cat is happy! A Bengal mother and kittens were visiting; they happily ate FITMIN CAT PURITY KITTEN food.
Not so long ago, my husband and I picked up a stray cat in the entrance. She was lying on the steps so unhappy that we couldn’t pass by. Marusya, our new pet, is not as picky as a cat, she eats this food, but it’s noisy! She shoos the cat away from the bowl and he waits patiently, like a gentleman, for her to eat. The cat has already become fat, I’m already thinking about a diet!
The only drawback is that it is not sold in all pet stores. I found food not very far from home, it is sold in 10 kg bags - we buy it by weight. I recommend to all. My pets approved!

Recently I saw an advertisement on Facebook for dry food with a lot of meat. I read a little about it and decided to buy it for my cats. I took Fitmin Purity Castrate (for castrated) and Purity Delicious (for adult cats).
The price, in my opinion, is very affordable. The food has beautiful packaging, granules measuring 4-5 mm. First I gave it to the cats, they ate a little, but didn’t eat it all at once. Then the cat came and finished eating.
I also offered this food to my neighbor’s cat, he attacked it as if he had never eaten)) Probably my cats are more spoiled)

Good afternoon We were choosing between Farmina N&D food for kittens and Fitmin Cat Purity Kiten, and ultimately settled on the latter. We grew up on it, we eat it as an adult, everything is fine. Previously, we also ate wet Animonda, but then the cat began to refuse it after a gastrointestinal disorder occurred.

Reviews of Fitmin food for cats
The food has a fairly high cost, despite the fact that not all components included in the food meet the requirements of the holistic class.
The Fitmin brand offers the opportunity to choose food for long-haired breeds, which often have the problem of accumulation of hairballs in the stomach. Special food is also available for older cats. Kittens and pregnant cats, as well as nursing mothers, are also not deprived of the company's attention. A special line of food is produced for them with a carefully selected composition, enriched with vitamins and mineral components.
There are good reviews about the grain-free line of food of this brand. The source of carbohydrates in such feeds is rice and potatoes. Gluten, corn, soy and wheat are completely absent from these nutritional diets.
Reviews from veterinarians
Fitmin cat food from a European manufacturer has appeared on the market relatively recently and claims a leading position among other super-premium foods. However, the composition of the feed has not been fully analyzed; specification of some components and their origin is required.
Meat products in the nutritious diet are mainly presented in dehydrated form; the diet also includes pork liver in hydrolyzed form. Another source of protein in cat food is a chicken egg. Plant proteins are not included in this brand of food. As you know, animal proteins are more easily absorbed by the cat’s body, and therefore the presence of about 34% animal protein in the product is a big plus for the company and its product.
Rice and potatoes provide the norm of carbohydrates in the feed; the composition is enriched with fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in the form of chelates. Plant fiber in the food helps normalize cat digestion and eliminate hair from the stomach, and the specially added Juka shidigera system reduces the smell of animal excrement, which is especially important for cats living indoors.
In this regard, we can say that the composition fully satisfies the needs of the animal’s body, thanks to which the cat develops correctly and remains active even after 7 years.
However, there are inconsistencies related to magnesium content. According to FEDIAF recommendations, the permitted level of the substance should not exceed 0.04% per 100g of feed. And on the packaging of grain-free food it is indicated that 100 g of the product contains 11% magnesium. The food also contains sodium dihydrogen phosphate, which negatively affects the cat's digestive tract.
The reviews from cat owners are mostly positive and the food is a fairly popular product.
