The task of a cat in a house is to decorate the life of its owners. The owners’ task is to provide decent conditions for such “decoration”. One of the criteria for a happy life for a pet is quality nutrition. One of the best options for the menu of a furry inhabitant can be called grandorf food.
Grandorf food belongs to the “holistic” class. This means that the food presented belongs to the super-premium class, and therefore is considered high-quality by default. To receive a “super-premium” rating, a manufacturer must pass a series of tests confirming the quality of the product. Therefore, the assignment of such a “status”.

Feed reviews
Ekaterina, Essentuki: “Grandorf was recommended to me at a pet store as hypoallergenic. At first the cat refused to eat it. The breeders told me that this is normal, since the food does not contain any flavor enhancers. My pet was naughty for a few days, and then began to devour it on both cheeks. We use the food for about six months. The kitty is absolutely radiant with health.”
Olga, Moscow: “I have a Tonkinese cat, which recently began to suffer from allergies, which is why she scratched her ears until they bled. I began to look for an alternative to the food I was using and chose the Bengali manufacturer Grandorf. We've been eating it for several months. There was no trace left of the allergy. Excellent food with excellent composition."
Anna, Vladimir: “Before trying Grandorf, we practically tried all premium and super-premium food, but each one was not satisfactory in some way. I immediately noticed the new Grandorf product that appeared on the market. Its composition is impressive, but, unfortunately, it did not suit us. A month after feeding, problems with stool began, the cat began to suffer from constipation.”

Advantages and disadvantages
Pros of food
Like any food for pets, Grandorf food has its positive and negative sides. Among the advantages it is worth noting:
- Product certification;
- Natural composition;
- No allergens;
- Wide range of products;
- Specialized lines for kittens and older cats.
The natural composition of the food allows it to be used as the main ingredient for a domestic cat's menu. An animal that eats Grandorf does not need additional vitamin complexes and mineral supplements - everything necessary is already included in the diet.
A wide range of flavors allows you to periodically change the food to eliminate addiction. This opportunity is extremely useful for owners of pampered cats who prefer to feast on different dishes.
In the modern world, cats face many dangers. And we are not talking about yard dogs. Most of all, modern cats suffer from unnatural nutrition, which often causes allergies in them. The industry has distorted the tastes of pets so much that even cats themselves no longer quite understand what tastes good to them and what doesn’t.
Grandorf food is hypoallergenic, so it can be given to even the most problematic pets without fear. There will be no negative reaction from the body.
Minuses
Any food, even the highest quality, has its drawbacks. Grandorf food was no exception.
According to owner reviews, the structure of the feed is not the best. Snacks are small in size, so feeding large breed cats requires subsequent cleaning within a meter radius of the bowl. The fact is that the cat, while eating, loses half of the food, scattering it around. Domestic cats, for the most part, do not collect leftovers around their plate, so this mission falls on the owner's shoulders.
Owners also consider its natural smell to be a significant drawback of Grandorf food. On the one hand, natural ingredients are a plus. But cats often don’t care about such a plus. They are used to eating food generously flavored with flavorings, so it is quite difficult to switch some pets to holistic food.
In this case, it is advisable to be cunning and mix Grandorf with the usual food at first. However, this practice should be carried out no longer than two days, since mixed food negatively affects the digestion of cats.
Another disadvantage of the product is its price.
Like any natural food, Grandorf is expensive. Imports also contributed to the cost, since Grandorf is made only in Belgium and Italy.

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.
