Owner reviews
Review of Grandorf food from the owner of a Siamese cat:
“The food is undoubtedly good. The cat did not turn up her nose and gobbled up two handfuls of snacks with gusto. Among the minuses, I would like to note the high cost of food and insufficient choice of assortment in small stores. It’s good that there are online deliveries!”
Review from the owner of the Sphinx Max:
“Hairless cats are known to require a special approach to nutrition. Grandorf was a real find. Thanks to the excellent composition, there is no need to stuff the cat with additional vitamins and feed him vegetables.”
Opinion of the owner of a British kitten:
“Recently a furry miracle came into our house. When selecting food, we encountered a lot of negative feedback regarding cheap food and decided to feed the kitten a holistic class. Grandorf has a wonderful line for kittens, which the baby eats with great pleasure. Next we plan to grow up and switch to “adult” Grandorfs.”
