Grandorf – holistic food

Holistic is a balanced food of the highest quality. Translated from Greek it means “whole.” Therefore, manufacturers who use the term “holistic” in the name of their food usually talk about its quality. Holistics contain a large amount of protein. Usually at least 70%. They also have a natural composition, healthy ingredients, a high content of vitamins, microelements and prebiotics to improve digestion. Holistics do not contain by-products, stabilizers, flavors or harmful additives. This is a new generation food. There are holistic grains, which usually contain white or brown rice. And grain-free, they usually have fruits and vegetables as their source of carbohydrates. But in any case, no matter what the manufacturer writes on the front side of the food, we are interested in its composition. Here's what you should really pay attention to when choosing food for your four-legged friend.

Feeding standards

Only the dog owner himself can determine the correct diet after consultation with a veterinarian. But, in accordance with the instructions from the manufacturer, standard portions must be calculated taking into account the weight of the animal. In order not to harm your pet, provide him with constant access to drinking water, do not violate age standards when choosing food (for example, give teenage puppies only Grandorf Junior) and do not mix different types of dry or wet food.

You can increase the norm if you are caring for an underweight dog, as well as if you need to feed a pregnant dog, a working or sports dog, or an animal that constantly lives on the street. When comparing with the serving standards of other companies in the same class, the question arises: “Which dog food is better - Akana or Grandorf?” It is worth more carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Grandorf in order to compare it with its main competitor.

Grandorf dog food range

The Grandorf brand produces dry and wet dog food. It is worth noting that the main food should be dry food. It is well balanced and quite nutritious. And canned food is an addition and can be used as a treat. Wet food is lighter. And they are not suitable as the main food. It is better to use a mixed type of feeding. The basis is dry food and you can additionally add canned food. Moreover, dogs usually love them very much. After all, they are very close to natural food. Dry food provides sufficient chewing load, which is the prevention of tartar.

The Grandorf food line is divided into low-grain and grain-free. There is food for puppies and adult dogs, for large and small breeds. The main component is lamb, fish, duck or rabbit meat. The food has a good natural composition with a high percentage of protein, which is very organic for pets.

Manufacturer information

Dog food under the Grandorf brand has been on the French market for about 50 years. Today, all production has been transferred to 2 factories - United Petfood Producers NV in Belgium and MONGE&C. SpA in Italy.

A distinctive feature of the brand is the feed production process: production is carried out only from natural products with strict adherence to the developed recipe. All stages of preparation take place at low temperatures, which allows you to preserve intact all the beneficial microelements of the products used.

The food appeared on the Russian market in 2009 and quickly entered it thanks to competent self-PR on thematic forums. Veterinarians quite often recommend Grandorf food for pets with digestive problems. The products cannot be purchased at a regular pet store; they are distributed online. This explains its low price compared to competitors of the same level.

Dry dog ​​food Grandorf

We suggest studying the composition of dry dog ​​food using the example of Lamb and Brown Rice food. In first place is dehydrated (dried) lamb and turkey meat. It contains amino acids, vitamins and microelements. Next comes brown rice for better digestion and absorption. And again fresh lamb and turkey. Turkey fat is used as flavoring. Which is very good. It is rich in amino acids and is beneficial for your pet's coat and skin. But it is worth noting that if stored incorrectly, it can give off a bitter taste, which your four-legged friend will not really like.

This factor must be taken into account and ensure proper storage of feed. Food should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place. And be sure to close it tightly. And, of course, it is necessary to monitor the expiration date. This was the main team. Another advantage of the food is that it contains useful additives of plant origin, which have a beneficial effect on health, immunity and digestion. Chicory extract is a source of the prebiotic inulin, which takes care of your pet’s digestive system, regulates blood sugar and helps maintain immunity.

The next addition is carob flour. Contains prebiotics pectin and lignin, which normalize intestinal microflora. Next come dried apples. And this is fiber, which is also necessary for digestion. Dried Antarctic krill is a source of amino acids and contains choline, which has a beneficial effect on the pet’s body and its nervous system. Further, the composition includes brewer's yeast, which contains vitamin B. Chondroitin and glucosamine are building materials for joints and cartilage.

Mythylsulfonylmethane is a natural ingredient that is extracted from pine bark and brown algae. It is beneficial for your pet's skin and coat. The next supplement is cranberry extract. It contains vitamin C and takes care of the genitourinary system of pets. Cranberry regulates the acidity of urine, which prevents urolithiasis. Cranberries are also a natural antiseptic. Yucca Schidigera is a plant of the agaaceae family that fights bad bacteria in the pet's intestines and reduces the smell of feces. And the composition is completed by a mixture of natural antioxidants. This is a mixture of rosemary extract, grape seeds, turmeric, and citrus fruits. Rosemary and turmeric are preservatives and contribute to longer shelf life of the feed. The composition of the feed is natural and healthy, which is good news.

I have a 1.5 year old male bullmastiff living at home. Not long ago he developed an allergy, and I didn’t know how to help him. I tried to change the food, but I couldn’t get rid of his lethargy. In addition, he had wounds that would not heal. However, everything changed when we switched to Grandorf rabbit food with sweet potato . The dog immediately became cheerful, the wounds healed, and now he became as cheerful as I remember him only in childhood. We are very glad that we came across such wonderful food.

Hello. When we got a Norwich Terrier at home, we didn’t think long about what to feed him, and already at the age of 2 months we started giving him Grandorf. Now we give him food “Lamb with rice”. Our cable devours it with pleasure; we have not yet observed any allergies or problems with fur. True, it must be said that this diet will not help the dog gain weight. While participating in the exhibition, we even received a note that it would not hurt for us to “round up”. Therefore, this food can be recommended for those dogs who are overweight . We buy Granddorf food at a local pet store, which costs 560 rubles. for 1 kg. We are completely satisfied with it. Therefore, I would like to give the following recommendation in my review: if you are the owner of small breeds, we advise you to try it, and you will not be disappointed.

Having decided to have a dog in the house, we chose a Frenchie puppy. We received a dog aged 1.5 months, which until that moment had been eating Grandorf Lamb with Rice food. We also decided to use it for our pet. However, already during the first feedings the puppy developed diarrhea. We turned to a veterinarian for help, who suggested RK gastro canned food to us. From this moment on, the puppy's stool became formalized. At some point they decided to return to Grandorf again, but the result was the same - diarrhea appeared . Therefore, we decided to abandon the Granddorf.
