Recipe

We analyze the characteristics of the composition using the example of kitten food.

The manufacturer does not provide details about the composition of the feed. From the information on the packaging, it is clear that chicken meat derivatives, as well as cereals, mainly rice, are used equally to make the dry product. Apparently, the feed included waste from chicken and grain processing.

It is not clear what plant derivatives are. It is possible that soybean meal, wheat or corn gluten was used. In addition to the fiber from the plant components, purified cellulose was added. The feed mixture included 4% fish and its derivatives. Yeast was added in small quantities, as well as egg powder. The feed mixture is saturated with fats, but the manufacturer does not say which ones. The inclusion of taurine smoothes out feed deficiencies.

The feed mixture contains 34% proteins, 22% fats, 2% crude fiber, microelements, and vitamins. In terms of the concentration of nutrients, the food corresponds to the premium class, but in terms of composition it falls short of it due to incomplete information about the components.

Katty

Orijen dry food for cats
Price for canned food, 415 g: 36.99 rub.

Katty wet cat food is produced in Russia. Going to the company’s website, there is no information about food of this brand (which is strange, because manufacturers always write about what they create).

The food is based on meat ingredients, but the downside is that there is no specification as to how much, so you have to guess.

The advantages of the food are that it contains a vitamin and mineral supplement, it contains meat ingredients, and, of course, a low price.

But there are also disadvantages - it contains unspecified grains, unspecified by-products, and the food is not widely available.

Overview of the main components of Wellkiss Cat Sterilized

Component No. 1 in this food is “meat and meat derivatives (lamb 14%).” It is a source of animal protein, but what exactly is included in this mixture, other than some lamb, is completely unclear.

On the back of the package we found the mysterious phrase “cereals reduce the risk of allergies.” It is extremely doubtful that this is true. Not all cereals are hypoallergenic, and in this case, the number 2 place in the composition is occupied by the ingredient “cereals (rice 14%),” that is, a mixture of unknown grains, in which only 14% rice is present.

In addition, here we came across a mention of the presence of cellulose. Probably, this coarse and unwanted fiber is encrypted in component No. 3 “derivatives of plant origin (lecithin 0.5%, inulin 0.2%)”, since it is not reflected separately in the list of ingredients. Cellulose is a minus of the diet, since it is absolutely impossible to identify what it is actually obtained from.

As the analysis of Wellkiss Cat Sterilized Lamb shows, position No. 4 in the list of ingredients belongs to another vague mixture called “oils and fats” - it can include various plant and animal components, the quality of which leaves much to be desired.

Cat food “four-legged gourmet”: reviews and composition analysis

The food package looks quite stylish, there is a photo of a cute cat, a silhouette of a lamb to indicate the taste, and an indication that the food is intended for feeding sterilized cats and neutered cats from 1 to 6 years old. There are also several icons on the packaging labeled “Optimal Digestion,” “Weight Control,” “Skin and Coat Health,” and “Activity and Longevity.”

A couple of ingredients in the food do have something to do with these claims: the added L-carnitine is designed to reduce fat storage and stimulate energy metabolism, and the prebiotic inulin feeds beneficial intestinal microflora, thereby improving digestion.

But in general, these are rather marketing statements, since the manufacturer wrote on the package exactly what the owner of any cat wants to get from the finished food.

Pros and cons of brand lines

The popularity of Kitekat food is primarily due to the human factor. Bright bags and a proven brand inspire trust and loyalty. However, if we put aside the emotional component and turn only to the facts, we understand that such a prevalence of food is also due to the fact that it is accessible and perfectly suitable for most pets.

What categorical advantages does this food have?

Let's look at them in a little more detail:

• relatively inexpensive;
• widely known;
• present on the shelves of most stores;
• offers a large selection of flavors for adult cats - even picky eaters and gourmets will find something “of their own” among these options.

Kitekat also has disadvantages - however, we will not deny that every manufacturer has them. Let's give some examples:

• the manufacturer does not produce specialized lines: for kittens, elderly pets, medicinal or dietary;
• Kitekat is shrouded in a lot of myths and speculation about its composition, but popularity always has two sides.

Manufacturer

This brand produces food not only for cats, but also for dogs, and dry food is produced in one place, and wet food in another.

• The Belgian company United Petfood Producers develops and produces dry food (they also produce dry food Grandorf and Mealfeel).
• The French La Normandise and the German Landguth Heimtiernahrung GmbH produce wet canned food (they also produce wet Mealfeel and Duke's Farm).

There is no information about the organizations themselves and production even on the website maintained by company representatives.

Manufacturers claim that for the production of Wellkiss feed they use only fresh and high-quality ingredients, the compositions are balanced, and there is no need to give animals additional beneficial additives.

Whiskas

Price for dry food, 350 g: 99 rub.

Price for wet food, 85 g: 19 rub.

The international brand Whiskas was developed in America by Mars. Judging by numerous consumer reviews, their cats love and enjoy eating Whiskas!

No side effects were found in cats after consuming the food, but the animal does not need to be fed often; in addition, it is necessary to include homemade food in the diet.

All the ingredients included in the food are natural, the only negative is that there is not much protein in it. There is a wide range of cat treats to choose from: beef, lamb, chicken, duck, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Does not contain GMOs, soy, artificial colors.
• Wellkiss cat food is sold in many pet stores, and some types can also be found in large supermarkets.
• The assortment is large: there is both dry and wet food. There is a division into food for regular cats and for sterilized (neutered) cats.
• The vitamin and mineral complex is good.

• It is indicated that Wellkiss food contains meat, but the indicated percentage is small and there is too little of it for the full development of the animal.
• Meat ingredients - the wording is vague. Any parts can be hidden under it, even horns and hooves (i.e. components are absolutely useless).
• It is not clear what is hidden under the “cereals”. One ingredient has been specified - rice. The rest are not clear, and there is no information even on the official website.
• Antioxidants and preservatives are not specified.
• The presence of sugar in canned food. Sugar is not just an undesirable ingredient, but a harmful one. It contains no minerals, no vitamins, no proteins, but only calories; in the natural environment predators do not require it. Regular consumption of food with sugar provokes the development of obesity, diarrhea, arthritis, nervousness, and tooth decay. It is added to food to enhance taste, or as a dye and preservative.

The best cat foods in the category: holistic

There can be nothing better for your beloved pet than dry food from the Holistic series. These are new generation products that are created by professionals for professionals. The composition of this food is as natural as possible, it contains no preservatives and is as digestible as possible for the animal. In the line of companies producing holistic food, there is an offer for every taste, but not for every budget - such products are very expensive, because they require not only high-quality raw materials, but also special production technology.

Innova Cat and Kitten

Average price in the Russian Federation: from 1200 rubles. for 2.7 kg

Why in the rating: this food’s composition is almost perfectly balanced, rich in all necessary substances, and even the protein in it is of animal origin. Thanks to the maximum nutritional value, a cat only needs a small portion to fill up. There are no ingredients in food of this level that could harm the animal.

Disadvantages: Innova Cat and Kitten is one of the most expensive foods and in Russia you can only get it on the Internet. It should be remembered that it contains quite a lot of protein, and therefore it should not be given to castrated animals.

Rating: 10 out of 10

From reviews of Innova Cat and Kitten cat food: “Food with a protein content of about 30% is suitable for extremely healthy and active cats, but will not be very good for neutered animals.”

Acana

Average price in the Russian Federation: from 1000 rubles. for 2.27 kg

Why in the rating: this food consists of 80% natural high-quality meat ingredients, and is also additionally rich in lactobacilli and probiotics necessary for animals. But, fortunately, there are no grain crops in it at all. In Russia you can buy both on the Internet and in some veterinary pharmacies.

Disadvantages: Acana’s line of food is quite limited, divided by age, and therefore it cannot offer anything for cats with special needs or patients.

Rating: 9 out of 10

From reviews of Acana cat food: “If the animal is healthy and reacts normally to protein, then there will be no problems with nutrition.”

N&D Natural and Delicious

Average price in the Russian Federation: from 860 rubles. for 1.5 kg

Why in the rating: the food has a very well balanced composition, which contains a maximum of meat ingredients, in addition, it also includes all the substances and vitamins that cats need.

Disadvantages: A couple of herbal ingredients are questionable. It can be difficult to buy in veterinary pharmacies, but the food is sold online in a full range.

Rating: 8 out of 10

From reviews of N&D cat food: “Cats do not immediately get used to the taste of the food and are picky at first - it does not contain the usual taste enhancers and flavorings.”

About Happy Cat food

"Happy Cat" is a product of Interquelle GmbH, which has existed for more than half a century. Initially, only dog ​​food was produced under the name Happy Dog, but since the beginning of the 21st century the company began producing cat food. The official importer in Russia is the Grand Alpha society.

Production does not stand still - the company regularly releases new products

Who produces the feed

Interquelle GmbH is a German company located in Bavaria, in Wehringen. The history of production dates back to the end of the 18th century - it was then that the Müller family acquired the first mill, where they began to grind grain. In the mid-twentieth century, the family business acquired special equipment that made it possible to produce cereal flakes. These flakes were mixed with dried meat and sold as the first dog food under the name Müller's Hundenahrung. Gradually the company expanded, new recipes were created, and only high-quality products were always used for production. Today, Happy Cat food is sold in 66 countries.

Assortment and features of feed

Wellkiss is available in the form of dry and wet food. Each of these types of food includes several items.

Dry food "Wellkiss"

Dry food (crickets) of the Wellkiss brand are available in bags of 0.4 g, 1.5 and 3 kg, 8 kg. The cost of Wellkiss food depends on the volume of packaging: 0.4 kg - from 200 rubles, 1.5 kg - from 650 rubles, 3 kg - from 1200 rubles, 8 kg - from 2700 rubles. Wellkiss dry food includes the following types:

• for sterilized cats;
• for adult cats;
• for adult cats from 7 years old;
• for kittens.

Typically, packages weighing 400 g and 1.5 kg are in great demand. Now I only have 2 cats, so I also buy such packages. But when I had 3 (and then 4) cats, I chose larger bags. Firstly, if you buy large packages, you can save a lot. And secondly, most manufacturers hold various promotions for “wholesale” buyers. But there are some nuances here: when choosing large packages, you need to be careful with storage conditions. All storage periods must be observed. By the way, my older cat doesn’t really like dry food, the smell of which has already dissipated (even if the expiration date is good). Therefore, I have a plastic container with a vacuum lid (12 l) into which I immediately pour the crickets. It's sealed, comfortable, and the smell doesn't dissipate.

Flavor variations:

• turkey;
• lamb;
• chicken;
• salmon.

Photo gallery: types of dry food

Natural priobiotics in dry food have a positive effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract Lecithin in the composition normalizes fat metabolism and restores liver cells, has a softening effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa

All Wellkiss foods contain yeast, which is a source of B vitamins

Natural fibers (cellulose) in the feed are bioregulators of the gastrointestinal tract

Table: composition of dry food

The names of the ingredients in all types of Wellkiss crickets are the same, only their concentration differs. Some cat owners may be confused by little-known ingredients. For example, “crustaceans and molluscs” or “Antarctic krill” are a type of plankton found in only 2 oceans. These are the so-called crustaceans, whose nutritional value is high and calorie content is low. This component is also added to Mealfeel food. “Vegetables do not always mean cheap cereals, cakes, etc. Most often, this group includes vegetable fibers (for example, beets) as a source of fiber, legume products as a source of protein, etc.

WELLKISS for cats

The most interesting thing about Wellkiss is its positioning by the manufacturer as haute cuisine for cats.
The range and name are impressive, but there are more owners than animals. Cats have much fewer taste buds than dogs and humans. When studying the ingredients, it became clear that the food couldn’t be simpler. The composition is balanced, but all elements vital for normal life and development are at the minimum acceptable level. Biological needs are provided with great reserve. Animals receive the optimal amount of energy only if the feeding rates indicated on the packaging are increased. This is due to low nutritional and energy value. If the canned version can still be used as a treat, and not every day, then you should not pay attention to drying at all. At the age of three months, the kitten was given dry food for kittens "Wellkiss", it was recommended by sellers in a pet store, the kitten vomited every day, one day he vomited three times with an interval of 15 minutes, it was decided to go to the veterinarian. The veterinarian said that it was because of the food and prescribed Hills I/D for us, the kitten did not vomit anymore. I do not recommend Wellkiss food, take care of your kittens.

I feed my cat according to a well-known scheme, 70% dry food + 30% wet, I recently switched to Wellkiss food, they have both in stock and, what’s important, at a price I can afford. The food packaging is beautiful, bags of dry food with a zipper, there are only 5 flavors of dry food, salmon and chicken - for adult cats, turkey and lamb - for sterilized ones and one for kittens. Previously, the manufacturer produced packages of 400 grams and 1.5 kg, but now larger 8 kg ones have appeared, cost 2800 rubles, and are much more profitable. I often buy food for sterilized cats; the composition seems to me to be a little better. Regular food contains cellulose, and for sterilized food it contains lecithin; the second ingredient is preferable; food for castrates also contains less fat, which is also important. I give wet food once a day, I buy pouches for 40 rubles, for such a price they contain quite a normal amount of meat (35-40%) and they weigh 100 grams, and not 85 like others. The cat gnaws dry food with gusto, but loves spiders more.

The most worthy product of the Wellkiss brand is Wellkiss Delis canned meat, they are sold in tin cans with dark gray stickers. Jars of 100 and 200 grams, the large one is much more affordable, costs only 95 rubles, if given as treats, then it can be easily stretched 3 times. Although the manufacturer claims that this food can be used as the main diet, I I don’t agree with him. Yes, there really is a lot of canned meat, about 70%, but there is a clear deficiency of vitamins and minerals, although taurine and ash are additionally added to the composition, but their quantity is not very large, and in order for the cat to receive the required daily dose, you will have to feed it several large cans . But this is expensive on the budget, and the cat will get tired of eating any, even the most “meat” canned food. Of course, they have a lot of flavors, as many as 7, but my cat happily eats only 3. There are no vegetables or fruits in the food at all.

There is very little official information about Wellkiss food, which alarmed me, it seems that the food is positioned as European, and the official website was only found in Russian. The feed manufacturers are different, there is only one exporter, there is an assumption that this feed is produced to order by a Belgian company, which also produces feed for Auchan, etc. And it becomes unclear why the customer would produce food of mediocre quality in Europe, and even sell it in only one store, and it would be okay to spend money on promoting the brand, but this is not the case. At first I thought that the food was new and the manufacturer was testing the market, but the food has already been in the store since 2013. The composition of the feed is quite common and practically harmless, not counting cellulose, to which feed manufacturers attribute cleansing properties; in fact, it, firstly, adds volume to the feed, and secondly, swells in the stomach and intestines and adds a feeling of satiety to the animals. Thirdly, it prevents the absorption of nutrients from the feed, of which there are already not enough of them in this feed. Perhaps due to the cellulose, the feed has a fairly low consumption. The nutritional value of the feed is fine, although the main sources of protein and fat are not fully understood.

On average, a 0.4 kg pack of Wellkiss dry food costs around 200 rubles. The manufacturer offers a decent range of food: dry, wet in pouches, canned food. There are enough tastes. There is plenty to choose from. At the same time, the food is quite affordable, the composition, in my opinion, is normal. Of course, it cannot be compared with holistic ones, but this is food of a different class. I believe that food should be evaluated taking into account its cost. I take dry food for adult cats with salmon. My cat loves everything fishy, ​​so she liked the salmon supplement. The main components of the feed, which come first: meat and meat derivatives, including salmon 14%, cereals, including rice 14%. The presence of crude protein is indicated as 33%. Yes, there is no talk of a high content of protein products of animal origin. Only 14% is the minimum amount for premium food. On the other hand, the food has a fairly laconic composition, without harmful components. Such food does not harm the animal. I didn’t notice any deviations in the cat’s health after switching to food. I can see from the cat's behavior that the food is coming. A 6 kg cat should eat 100 grams of food per day. My pet eats her quota. The food does not remain in the bowl. That's a plus. So he suits her.

Feed to replace Wellkiss

"Wellkiss" can be replaced with feed of all classes. However, it is better not to replace a premium product with budget types of food; it is better to opt for one of the following classes:

1. Premium (Royal Canin, Mealfeel, etc.).
2. Super premium (Pronature Original, Sanabelle, Gina, etc.).
3. Holistic (Gina Elite, Grandorf, Innova Evo, etc.).

A separate Delice series is produced by the German factory Landguth Heimtiernahrung (“Langut Heimtiernahrung”).

Advantages and disadvantages of Wellkiss food

The main advantages of Wellkiss food include the following:

• meat components in the composition are listed in first place (which means that the content of meat and offal in the composition predominates);
• the food contains minerals and vitamins (the composition of the additives is described in detail);
• Both dry and wet food have been developed in different flavors.

Main disadvantages:

• not all components are indicated precisely (some wording is vague: “cereals”, “meat derivatives”, etc.);
• the packaging does not indicate which preservatives and antioxidants are used;
• slightly overpriced (a pouch weighing 100 g costs from 39 rubles, and dry food in a bag weighing 400 g costs from 190 rubles).

What class of feed does Wellkiss food belong to?

Cat food is divided into 4 classes:

• economy - cheap food, often advertised and offered in almost any store (they contain almost no meat, artificial preservatives, dyes and flavor enhancers are added, and the source of protein is cheap cereals);
• premium - food that may contain meat and offal, but in small quantities, and dyes and flavoring additives may be natural;

The first ingredient, meat and meat derivatives (turkey 14%), is a source of animal protein. The total percentage of this ingredient is not specified, only that it includes 14% lamb. It is also not indicated how much meat, but how much meat derivatives and what exactly these derivatives are.

The second ingredient is cereals, it is specified that they include 14% rice. However, what other grains are used besides it is not indicated (it is quite possible that some source of vegetable protein, such as wheat gluten, is hidden among the lower ones).
