Characteristics of Brit food

Cat food produced in the Czech Republic varies in the level of product quality. It is manifested in the enrichment of the vitamin and mineral complex, the amount of allergens and the percentage of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Brit food is developed based on the company's principles:

1. High quality protein. By nature, cats are carnivorous animals, so they need protein, and carbohydrates are consumed in minimal quantities. The need for animal proteins is taken into account by this brand of food.
2. The variety of food range covers all ages and body characteristics of cats.
3. The feed uses only natural and environmentally friendly raw materials, which are also used in the manufacture of food products for people. Products are produced with the logo of the “bio” trademark.

"Brit" has established itself in the market as a good manufacturer of super-premium and premium feed.

Taking care of pets is the main principle of work when making food. Any experiments on them are excluded - this is what the manufacturer assures.

Brit food review

The Czech company has been producing food and fillers for cats and dogs since 1995. During its existence, the Vafo Praha sro brand managed to win the trust of many owners, showing its best side. The reliability of the brand and the quality of the food are confirmed by many animal owners.

Manufacturers claim a high level of feed components, the absence of modified products, soy and other harmful substances. Czech food is produced in its own production, where each component undergoes a multi-level quality assessment.

New line of super-premium Brit care cat food

The new “Britcare” attracts with an interesting bright design with images of cute pets and demonstrates a certain group. A specific food ration was carefully developed for each group.

The new product was developed with love for cats, taking into account all the features of their body:

• meat and fish in sufficient quantity;
• the new line does not contain soy and cereal products, corn, gluten (sticky protein), that is, the food is hypoallergenic;
• the necessary content of vitamin-mineral balance, which has a preventive effect on KSD (urolithiasis) if the diet contains plant components of sea buckthorn.

The Britcare food line has a wide range and is suitable for feeding different groups of cats.

The line takes into account the physiology of cats, carefully studies their food preferences, and combines the best ingredients in the product:

• meat and fish (rich in aminocarboxylic acids and sulfonic acids - taurine);
• natural fats that regulate the supply of unsaturated (unsaturated) fatty acids;
• vitamin complex strengthens the immune system.

Assortment of dry food "Brit care"

Compound

The food contains:

• dehydrated turkey and chicken meat;
• rice bran;
• rice;
• chicken fat;
• dried apples;
• beet pulp;
• plantain;
• sea ​​buckthorn pear-shaped;
• salmon oil;
• Brewer's yeast;
• vitamins;
• minerals;
• prebiotics.

Most of the feed is protein, i.e. meat - 55%. There are 2 types of fat: salmon oil and chicken fat. They are indispensable for the cat’s body, as they saturate the body with important acids. At the same time, they are quickly absorbed. The source of carbohydrates is not grain crops, but potatoes. This is a “plus” of the food, since potatoes have a low glycemic index, and they cleanse the intestines well (due to starch).

The subtle aroma of mint stimulates the cat's appetite, sodium phosphate prevents tartar from sticking to the teeth, sea buckthorn is an excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent.

To prevent overeating, be sure to read the instructions on the package. An animal weighing no more than 5 kg and not sterilized should receive approximately 200 g of feed per day. If the animal is castrated, the portion can be increased to 250 g. A special calculation of the portion is also required if the cat is pregnant, or weakened, or old.

"Brit premium" for premium cats

“Brit premium” is much cheaper and does not have a variety of protein composition, but is produced exclusively from chicken fillet and its by-products. In addition, it contains an increased percentage of plant components.

Foods in this class contain sufficient amounts of poultry protein at the beginning of the ingredient list. This means that the pet will not be deprived of the necessary proteins for a healthy lifestyle. Corn included in the diet does not provide any benefit to the animal; it is a relatively inexpensive raw material for dilution. A low fat diet is beneficial for cats that have been spayed and neutered.

How to choose food

Natural food is considered the best food for a pet, but it is not always possible to match the percentage balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates to the natural needs of the cat’s body. In such a situation, the animal should be fed with industrial feed with a dietary composition as close as possible to natural food.

Currently, there is a wide variety of diets on the market, both domestic and imported, and for a beginner it will be a problem to choose quality food for your pet.

To choose the right food, it is important to navigate your pet’s taste preferences, the presence of allergic reactions or diseases, and physiological needs. It is necessary to first obtain the advice of a veterinarian in selecting food for your pet.

Which cat food to choose?

What you need to know! The main rule in choosing industrial food for your pet is to give preference to holistic, super-premium, premium food. The higher the quality of the food, the greater the percentage of meat components, which means the cat will receive the necessary microelements for a developed and active life.

When switching from eating natural products to industrial food, remember that the cat must consume a lot of clean water. Also, the transition should be carried out smoothly; gradual introduction of small portions of dry food will not lead to digestive tract upset. To begin with, you can use soft food in pouches or canned food. The ideal combination is dry and wet, feeding recommended by most experts.

When choosing food, pay attention to the composition and the place that meat occupies - it should come first

Conclusions about Brit cat food

One important factor is feed production in the Czech Republic. Imported food was considered by owners to be of better quality than domestic food, which is not inferior to other super-premium brands, providing the opportunity to feed their pets with high-quality and specially selected food.

Many owners note that for several years the quality of this food has not changed, but has remained consistently at the proper level. The ratio between price and quality is satisfactory and allows you to diversify the menu of your mustachioed pet by changing food from one line.

In general, “Brit” is a rationally formulated industrial food of super-premium and premium class, providing a large selection of dry and wet food for furry beauties and handsome men.

Feeding recommendations

Each package of the finished product contains information about its composition, shelf life and method of storage. In addition, there is always a table with recommendations for determining the daily food intake. The serving size varies depending on the weight and age of the animal.

Attention! If after feeding your pet regularly has uneaten food left in his bowl, it is recommended to reduce the serving size. In the case when an animal demands food throughout the day, absorbing its quota without a trace, it should be checked for the presence of parasites.

- I am hungry!..

On average, the daily requirement for an adult cat weighing 4-5 kg ​​is 60-70 g of Premium food or 50-60 g of Super-Premium food.
