Our Brand cat food: reviews and composition analysis

The attitude of cat owners, especially expensive and rare breeds, towards domestically produced food is ambiguous. The stereotype of poor product quality and outdated production technologies, firmly established in the minds of Russians, encourages them to make a choice in favor of foreign offers. In the latter case, an annoying pattern can be traced: as soon as international corporations locate their production closer to the target audience, the quality deteriorates significantly while the price remains unchanged. “Our Mark” is a cat food that compares favorably with most analogues offered on the market.

The company also deserves attention because it has been producing its products in Russia since its inception. The vertically integrated holding produces extruded products for cats of all ages according to its own recipe. Since 2006, ZAO Gatchina KKZ has been producing Terra Cot, Stout and Nasha Marka animal food. The enterprise includes large poultry and fish farms, which form the basis of the products offered by the brand.

About the company manufacturing the products

The manufacturer of Nasha Brand cat food is Gatchina Feed Mill CJSC, which is located in the Leningrad region. The company has been operating for more than 75 years, but began producing animal feed only in 2006. At the same time, the plant complies with all international standards, so we can hope that the product is safe for animals.

Review of cat food Our Brand

The company positions Nasha Marka food as a premium class, however, many veterinarians believe that this rating is overestimated and the product can only be classified as an economy group. The reason for this is the not particularly high-quality composition.

Our brand: dog and puppy food (hypoallergenic)

The products are presented in dry and wet assortments. Dry mixtures are sold in bags of 0.4, 2 and 15 kg. Wet food is packaged in bags of 100. All products of this brand are presented on their official website www.nm-pride.com. You can buy the product in specialized stores or order it online.

At the moment, the website (feeds and their composition are presented on it in full), which is located at nm-pride.com, is one of the most famous manufacturers of animal feed in Russia. Products intended for cats and dogs also contain vitamins and minerals that are very beneficial for their bodies.

Composition of food for cats Our brand

Gemon (food for cats and kittens): description and composition

The composition of the feed Our Brand says that this product cannot be called high quality:

• The very first on the list is corn, which is a source of carbohydrates. Grain foods are not very healthy for cats. In a quality feed they should not be in first place. Unfortunately, such ingredients do not make food hypoallergenic, although they are rich in protein and various beneficial substances;
• in second place is bird meal. However, there is no information about what kind of bird or bird parts were used in production;
• Further on the list you can see rice, corn gluten, as well as sunflower oil - a source of omega-6;
• you can see mineral supplements in the diet, unfortunately, there is no detailed information about them;
• hydrolyzed and lamb liver are a source of vitamins and minerals, but the percentage of content is also not indicated;
• The composition contains sugar beet pulp, which is a source of fiber.

For your information! In Nasha Brand food you can see B vitamins (yeast), there is also an antioxidant, but its description is not detailed.

How do the animals themselves feel about Our Brand?

As you can see, cat owners and veterinarians have the most positive opinion about this domestic food. But how do the animals themselves feel about “Our Brand”? According to the observations of its owners, cats really like this food. Including the most capricious and fastidious. And there is nothing surprising about this. In addition to its attractive appearance, balanced composition and nutritional value, Nasha Marka food is also distinguished by its excellent taste. Among other things, this company also produces granular varieties. In the latter case, the food also cares for the oral cavity of the animal eating it.

In order for the product to remain fresh for a long time, experts have developed special packaging for it. However, of course, when purchasing, you should pay attention to the expiration date of the food, as well as the date of its release.

Hypoallergenic food

Animals of artificially bred breeds are most often susceptible to food allergies. The cause of itching, redness of the skin and increased irritability of the pet is caused by the following factors:

• Milk protein intolerance. After consuming milk and dairy products, the animal begins to vomit, diarrhea, etc., perhaps there is an innate aversion to dairy.
• Gluten intolerance. Gluten, contained in most cereals, is a strong allergen. The disease is congenital and cannot be treated.
• Animal protein intolerance. The body of a cat with this diagnosis does not digest fatty meats and poultry.

At least one of the listed products is included in the vast majority of ready-made feeds. Purchasing hypoallergenic food will provide your four-legged pet with good health and a boost of energy.

Should you buy Marka for your pet?

Such food, like all economy class offerings, is a risky business. On the one hand, its composition is not the most dangerous and in online reviews no one has ever called “NM” poison. But on the other hand, this is still cat fast food. Of course, there are many people who feed their animals “Our Brand” all their lives and are satisfied. However, is it worth the risk..?

Our brand food was mentioned in a number of topics on our forum, so you can read about it, as they say, first hand: https://forum.kotodom.ru/topic4565-120.html https://forum.kotodom.ru/topic8395 .html https://forum.kotodom.ru/topic11264-270.html https://forum.kotodom.ru/topic9522.html https://forum.kotodom.ru/topic4565-75.html

Table: norms for consumption of wet food by adult cats and kittens

There are certain standards for the consumption of wet food for cats and kittens. It is important to correctly calculate the appropriate dosage so that the animal is full, but does not overeat. Information can be seen in the table:

New food should be added to the diet gradually, especially for kittens, so as not to provoke the development of allergic reactions.
Important! The amount of food must be selected individually for each pet, taking into account its needs and characteristics.

There are also certain products for castrated and sterilized animals

Feeding standards

You should be aware of this too. “Our Mark” is a cat food (reviews about it are positive), which must be given, of course, in certain quantities. They feed it to the animal in such a way that it does not overeat and does not remain hungry. The specific rate depends mainly on the weight of the cat. So, small animals weighing 2-4 kg are given about 30-80 g of feed per day. Larger cats (5-6 kg) are fed 70-120 g per day. Pregnant and lactating cats sometimes have to double or triple the norm. So, a large animal weighing 6 kg can eat almost half a kilo of product per day. Of course, you should base the amount of food on the cat’s appetite.

Table: consumption rates of dry food for adult cats and kittens

Dry product should also not be given to your pet uncontrollably; it is important to adhere to the correct portion depending on the weight and age of the cat. In the table below you can see the approximate amount of dry food:

Important! If the cat's diet consists of dry food, then it is necessary that there is always clean water nearby in unlimited quantities.

Premium or Economy?

How can you figure out what kind of products are actually in the convenient packs of food? Of course, according to the information printed on them.

So, the composition of the product (using the example of the already mentioned canned “Chicken in Sauce”):

meat, as well as animal products (chicken meat at least 25%), plant ingredients (for example, fiber), whey protein (probiotic), sunflower oil, mineral supplements, vitamins, thickeners.

Of course, there are a lot of plant components here, but meat - on the contrary. However, if you compare this composition with the most famous economy class food, Whiskas, it turns out that the composition of the canned food called “Chicken Stew” does not even indicate the percentage of meat content. It is only indicated: meat and offal (including chicken), that is, what the canned food is made of in a larger percentage is not clear. Other canned goods of the same type are 40% meat and offal, of which only 10% is said chicken. So the superiority of “Our Brand” over “Whiskas” is obvious.

Although, of course, I would like there to be fewer “animal products” in “Our Brand”, because it’s not even skin, but beaks, horns and bones, which, according to veterinarians, are very poorly digestible...

Now let’s compare the composition of “NM” with the composition of “Shezir”, canned food known as respected representatives of the premium class. Take, for example, “Chicken Fillet with Aloe.” Here chicken fillet is 61%. And no “animal products.”

Conclusion: “Our brand” is still closer to the economy class, but at the same time, in its class it is distinguished by a large amount of meat. And besides, if you believe the reviews of cat owners, animals, having tried “NM” for the first time, are suspicious of such food, and sometimes even refuse it altogether. This means that there will be much less “chemistry” in such food than in the aforementioned “Whiskas”. And finally, what speaks in favor of dry food is that it is natural in color and not tinted.

How to store it correctly

To prevent food from spoiling, it is important to follow fairly simple storage rules. Dry food can be poured into a glass jar. If moisture does not get into the container, the shelf life of the product will be quite long. When moisture penetrates, the food swells and becomes completely unsuitable for consumption.

After opening the package, wet food is left in the refrigerator, but not for a long time. You should try to calculate the portion of food so that the cat eats everything at once.

Wet products are also available in different types

Customer Reviews

Most owners who buy Our Brand for their pets claim that this is a good domestic product. Cats eating this food do not shed, do not lose weight, and look healthy; both canned food and “dried” food - although without fanaticism, they eat it and practically do not refuse.

The “Grand Prize” of consumer reviews can be awarded to anti-allergenic food from NM. It is even recommended to animals who previously ate more expensive food, but lost their health.

In general: “NM” is a good alternative to the limited choice in the supermarket, especially in small towns, where expensive holistic or super premium food is rarely imported. And of course, this food, economical and with a more or less “pure” composition, is a good option if you have no money, and also for a visit to a cat shelter. Or as a treat for a homeless animal.

Criticism: meat is not in the first place in the food composition, which means that there is not so much of it (and this can be seen from the percentage). In the first places are corn, rice, gluten and poultry meal (it’s hard to say what it’s made from - it can be beaks and bones, or feathers). Of all the above, corn is the most problematic product; a large number of cats are allergic to it, and some have loose stools and even diarrhea from corn.

Some buyers note that salmon-flavored food smells more like regular river fish. Economy, in a word...

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any other food, Our Brand has positive and negative qualities. There are both satisfied and not so satisfied animal owners who have already tried these products.

Advantages of cat food Our Brand

The positive points include the following:

• quite low cost;
• can be purchased in regular stores;
• wide range, as well as specialized lines;
• various forms of release: dry, wet and pate;
• contains meat products;
• wide range of wet products.

Cons of cat food Our Brand

However, not everyone is happy with Our Brand food. There are a number of negative aspects that pet owners highlight:

• the basis of food is corn;
• a small amount of vitamins in the composition;
• lack of detailed information on poultry meal and animal products;
• unknown antioxidants in the composition;
• The main source of protein is poultry meal, regardless of the type of feed.

Note! Many buyers note that wet food is overpriced. In addition, some components are serious allergens, although the packages may indicate “hypoallergenic”.

Despite the negative aspects, the food is popular among cat owners.

Cats like Our Brand food, despite its disadvantages

Pet lovers opinion

Of course, “Our Brand” (cat food, reviews of which allow us to judge it as one of the most popular) is not as widely advertised as the same “Whiskas” and “Royal”. However, experienced cat breeders have a higher opinion of it even than of these brands. This is mainly due to the naturalness of the products used for production. And, of course, its not too high cost also plays an important role in the popularization of this product. According to reviews, cats receiving this food look healthy, do not lose weight and do not shed.

The only criticism of this brand is that the amount of meat contained in the product is not too large. Particularly sensitive cats sometimes also develop an allergy to corn, which is part of most varieties of the Gatchina product.

Price and where to buy

The cost of feed depends on the form of release and the weight of the pack. Dry products are sold at prices ranging from 140-170 rubles* per 1 kg. Hypoallergenic food, as well as products for sterilized and neutered cats, costs a little more - up to 180 rubles. for 1 kg.

Wet food sells for up to 25 rubles. per 100 g, but an adult animal requires quite a lot per day, so the cost of such food in general is not exactly cheap.

Note! You can purchase Our Brand food in regular stores that sell animal food. If desired, you can order online.

Our Brand for cats is a good food, but it cannot claim to be premium. Despite the presence of some negative aspects, such food can be given to pets. Many owners speak very positively about the product and purchase it for their furry pets.

Reviews of cat food “Our Brand”

Irina, Perm My cat is 10 years old. I always gave her simple food, not very expensive. Two years ago she started having kidney problems. After the course of treatment, I spent a long time selecting nutrition and watching how she reacted to them. I settled on “Our Mark” because the cat always eats it with appetite, asks for more, has become more energetic, and plays, despite her age. I see that the digestive tract is fine. The wool sheds less and has become shiny. I recommend this food to those whose cats are no longer young and need careful care. Oleg, Ukhta This food is not suitable for my cat. He is very demanding and almost never eats anything other than specially prepared food. Cooking creates difficulties, especially when you go on a business trip and give it to someone for two weeks. So I bought a picky cat food with salmon in the hope that he would like it. Nothing like this. He didn't even want to try it. But now I have already found suitable food and can easily go on business whenever I need to. Svetlana, Astana My little kitten grew up on Nasha Marka food. I immediately decided to accustom him to food so that the animal would receive all the important substances. I was worried that by cooking on my own, I might unknowingly miss some important points in feeding. Everything is fine with Nasha Marka food. The kitten grew up cheerful, strong, and mischievous. I always ate well and never got sick. Now he is a huge two-year-old red handsome man with gorgeous fur. Additionally, I only give him milk sometimes. He is healthy and I am happy.
