Probalance cat food: reviews and composition analysis

For sterilized cats

What is the difference between a spayed or neutered cat and animals that have not had the appropriate surgery?
In addition to the obvious differences in the form of a lack of desire to procreate, there are three more important points that affect the health of the pet. In the absence of sexual desire, the pet's attention often shifts to a passion for food. And this leads to the appearance of extra pounds. A sterilized animal's hormonal levels change dramatically, which also leads to problems with excess weight. After surgery the animal becomes much less active

And this also does not bode well in terms of the risk of obesity.

Buying food for sterilized cats is a solution to the problem of excess weight for a pet that has undergone such a serious procedure. A special formula allows you to compensate for the lack of vitamins in the animal’s body, as well as gradually reduce the amount of fat consumed.

What components are included in the products?

The food contains the following ingredients:

1. Dried poultry pulp in the form of a semi-finished product.
2. Cereals (rice, barley). They promote rapid saturation and are well absorbed by the body.
3. Lipids of animal and plant origin. Contains vitamin E, which improves the condition of the coat.
4. Unprocessed fiber (beet pulp). The component maintains an optimal balance of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
5. Yeast. Needed for normal development and well-being.
6. Taurine. Promotes the absorption of lipids, maintaining the health of the eye apparatus, muscles, nervous system and heart.
7. Egg powder. It is a source of proteins, minerals and vitamins.
8. L-carnitine. Accelerates the metabolic process.
9. Medicinal plants. Helps improve the functioning of the immune system, prevents the development of inflammation and infections.
10. Miko carb. An additive that prevents the growth of harmful microbes in the product.

The food contains components that do not provoke allergic reactions. However, it must be remembered that each pet’s body has individual characteristics.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce food into your pet’s diet with extreme caution. First, the animal should be given a small amount of the product. Then you need to carefully monitor your pet’s well-being.

Then you need to carefully monitor your pet’s well-being.

Feeding table

The daily amount of feed depends on several factors. It is necessary to take into account the type of dry diet, for example, Probalance for large breed puppies is divided into five doses per day and stored open for as short a time as possible. A standard diet at a certain age is also important. So, puppies up to three months should eat six times a day, from six months - three times. And after a year, twice feeding is enough. The exact dosages should be found on the packaging itself. But the standard numbers for both small and large dogs are:

Veterinarian assessment

Reviews from veterinarians about Probalance food for dogs, in general, are that the composition of these diets meets all the characteristics and requirements for premium food

But experts pay attention to the low level of fiber, relative to generally accepted norms, which can affect the digestion of a pet prone to gastrointestinal problems. They also especially focus on the presence of preservatives BHA and dibunol (BNT), which in many countries are prohibited from being used in the food industry due to toxicity

The use of the latter in dog food is undesirable, since their effect on the animal’s body is ambiguous.

Owners' opinions

There are mixed reviews about Probalance cat food. Some owners claim that the product has a beneficial effect on the condition of their pets. They eat this food with pleasure, quickly fill up, feel good, and do not have problems with the stomach and intestines.

The food is inexpensive and economical. It is not inferior in quality to elite varieties of pet products. However, some owners claim that their pets were reluctant to consume such products. In addition, there are owners who do not trust the composition of products due to the presence of artificial additives in them. After all, these substances can provoke gastrointestinal dysfunction and cause allergies.

Feed range

The Probalance food line includes the following varieties.

Dry food

Optimal for feeding pets when the owner is absent from home for a long time during the day. Thanks to their dense consistency, they help strengthen cats’ teeth and clean them of plaque. Packaged in bags of 0.4, 1.8 and 10 kg.

Dry food is presented in 4 options, taking into account the different needs and preferences of each pet. Available with: salmon, beef, rabbit, chicken and turkey.

There are 3 types of food available, packaged in bags with different colors:

Yellow. Improves the functioning of the cat's immune system and normalizes motor activity.

Blue. Optimal for spayed and neutered pets. This type of food prevents the development of problems with the genitourinary system, minimizes the formation of stones and helps maintain the animal’s weight within normal limits.

Green. Is hypoallergenic. Recommended for feeding cats prone to allergic reactions, as well as those with problems with the digestive tract and its increased sensitivity.

Cat breeds for which Probalance is optimal for feeding

The line of food is suitable for many felines. The manufacturer himself identifies among the recommended breeds: chinchilla, Burmese, Thai cats, munchkins, etc.

Composition of feed Probalance

The ingredients included in Probalance are as follows:

• The base is chicken, rabbit, turkey or salmon meat that has undergone a dehydration procedure.
• Additionally, the composition includes: rice, barley. They promote long-term saturation and are well absorbed by the pet’s body.
• Plant and animal fats containing essential amino acids improve the condition of the skin and coat.
• Beetroot extract normalizes intestinal microflora and increases the body's protective properties.
• Taurine helps normalize the functioning of the animal's cardiovascular and nervous systems. It also participates in the digestion of fats and prevents the development of eye diseases in the pet.
• Yeast with a high content of vitamin B12 normalizes the performance of all organs and systems.
• Amino acid (L-carnitine) – is involved in the regulation of metabolic processes, improves appetite and increases the regeneration of soft tissues.
• Powdered eggs contain vitamins, proteins and minerals necessary for your pet's health.

The table below details the most popular Probalance foods.

Wet food Probalance

They are bags of complete, balanced premium food (in the form of wet pieces). The manufacturer recommends them for daily use, but experienced breeders recommend using them instead of treats.

Portion bags weighing 85 g are designed for one-time feeding of an adult. This is very convenient, since in open food, for example, in a jar stored in the refrigerator for some time, the quality of the product decreases, the taste deteriorates and the content of nutrients and vitamins in canned food decreases.

The table below shows the composition of spiders and their energy value.

Composition, class and release form

Probalance is a popular brand of cat food in Russia, owned by the Danish company Aller Petfood A/S, but the product is produced in Russia. Probalance is a premium product, as evidenced by its characteristics:

• the food contains at least 30% protein components of animal origin (including raw meat);
• vegetables and fiber act as auxiliary ingredients, stimulating the activity of the gastrointestinal tract;
• Only natural additives, flavors and preservatives are used in the production of products.

Premium class food
Also, Probalance food contains no GMOs or dyes harmful to the health of furry pets. As for the range, the product is presented in 2 main forms:

• Dry food. Such food does not spoil or dry out within a few hours, so it is ideal if the owner spends a lot of time at work. Consumption of dry food helps remove plaque and strengthens your pet's teeth. The product is available in three versions: bags of 400 g, 1.8 and 10 kg.
• Spiders with wet food. They are a mixture of dry food and canned food. The product is packaged in special vacuum bags of 85 g and is designed for one-time feeding. It is not recommended to store such food after opening.

The composition of Probalance dry and wet food varies slightly depending on the variety and taste. But the main ingredients are:

• crude protein;
• crude fat, ash and fiber;
• calcium, iron, iodine, phosphorus, copper;
• vitamins A, D, E, taurine;
• flaxseed is a source of Omega-3 and 9 fatty acids;

Attention ! Probalance food is presented in 4 lines designed for pets with different needs.

Range

The entire product portfolio of Probalance dry dog ​​food is divided into four nutrition lines of different directions. Plus, the brand announced an expansion of its range and announced the launch in March-April of the production of three more new diets, two of which will belong to the new Gourmet Diet line.

All currently available products of this brand are easily distinguished by the color of the packaging. In principle, the manufacturer itself positions them as yellow, green, blue and red categories of food, as well as new products in purple.

The Yellow Line is a series of diets called Immuno, aimed at strengthening the immunity of animals. Their peculiarity is the presence of functional additives, such as lysine, antioxidants, prebiotics, which have a beneficial effect on the pet’s body and improve its overall health.

The most popular is the yellow Probalance dog food - this is what we are told by reviews from owners, the vast majority of which are about the Immuno line. All diets differ in two main aspects - the age of the pet (Adult and Puppies), and its size (Small&Medium and Maxi).

There is a separate menu for pets with high energy costs - Immuno Adult Active, as well as a new product - Immuno Adult Beef (food for all breeds of dogs with beef).

The green line is a set of various specialized menus for pets with special nutritional needs. It includes three formulations - Starter, Hypoallergenic and Delicate Digestion. Starter is intended for the smallest puppies from three weeks of age. It is also recommended for feeding pregnant and lactating bitches as a more nutritious diet.

The Hypoallergenic and Delicate Digestion diets are positioned as food for dogs with allergies and those suffering from digestive disorders.

There is only one diet in the red packaging - Adult Grain Free, this is a grain-free poultry-based diet that contains potatoes, lentils and peas instead of grains.

The blue line is also represented by only one recipe - dry food for adult dogs Probalance Adult Light, which is designed to maintain optimal weight and condition of a pet with a tendency to gain excess weight. Also suitable for feeding animals with a sedentary lifestyle, for example, for pets living in apartments and not receiving regular exercise.

The diets in purple packaging are the Gourmet Diet line, consisting of two items: Adult Beef&Rabbit and Adult Beef&Lamb. They are marketed as food for picky adult pets in two different flavors: beef and rabbit and beef and lamb.

So, the entire range of Probalance dog food consists of 12 types of food, which, according to reviews from breeders and animal owners, does not provide the opportunity to particularly diversify the feeding of a pet, unlike many competitive premium brands.

The best grain-free foods for puppies

Under natural conditions, grain crops are not included in the diet of predators. Feeds that exclude grains reduce the risk of allergies or food intolerances. They are especially indicated for animals with sensitive digestion.

Manufacturer

The Probalance brand is quite popular in our country: although the brand belongs to the Danish organization Aller Petfood A/S, there are factories producing food in both St. Petersburg and Tver. Engaged in distribution (founded in 2009).

The products are manufactured in strict accordance with the Feeding Guidelines of the European Federation of Pet Food Manufacturers (FEDIAF). Finished products are regularly tested in specialized nurseries under the supervision of veterinarians, with regular examination and collection of samples from animals under care.

There is also an ISO 22000 certificate (means that the products have been certified and are safe for humanity). Strict control at all stages of production is what the manufacturer can boast of.

Currently, Aller Petfood Group is one of the leaders in the modern feed market, not only in Russia, but also in Europe. Russian factories are equipped with the most modern technologies: canned food is produced in St. Petersburg, and dry granules are produced in Tver. Samples of raw materials are regularly taken for nutritional analysis. The work uses an emulsifier and an extruder.

In addition to Probalance, the company produces PROtail food (for dogs and cats of all ages).

Feed composition

The ingredients of your pet's food are the first thing you should pay attention to when purchasing.

Its quality directly depends on the quantity of useful components, so if there is a lack of micronutrients and vitamins in a particular product, it makes sense to look for a worthy replacement. As for the Probalance cat food, the main component in its composition (according to the manufacturer) is dehydrated poultry meat (mostly turkey and chicken)

As for the Probalance cat food, the main component in its composition (according to the manufacturer) is dehydrated poultry meat (mostly turkey and chicken).

Premium food also includes Monge and Gina.

In addition to the meat part, the manufacturer added cereals (represented by rice and barley) to the feed. Like specially processed meat, they are quickly processed by the body and give a feeling of fullness, and rice can safely be called a hypoallergenic product.

Vegetable oil and chicken fat are equally high-quality ingredients that cats need to restore the color and shine of their fur and restore the health of their skin.

In addition, vegetable oil supplies the body with polyunsaturated fatty acids.

When carefully studying the composition of the feed, it is easy to notice the presence of beet pulp in it.

Find out also about the composition of the most popular cat foods such as Acana, Farmina, Felix, Whiskas, Our Brand, Gourmet, Kitiket.

Probalance food also contains many useful vitamins and minerals that ensure the normal functioning of your pet.

For example, taurine is simply an essential amino acid produced by the bodies of many animals. However, cats are not among those who can synthesize it on their own, which means it must be supplied to the body along with food or other food products.

Taurine is an integral part of bile, thanks to which fats are quickly digested and metabolic processes in the body's nervous system and heart muscle are improved (in some cases, a sufficient amount of this component prevents degenerative eye diseases).

Premium food is recommended for feeding cats of such breeds as British chinchilla, Turkish angora, Siamese cat, Ocicat, American shorthair, Munchkin, Burmese cat, British cat, Thai cat.

The therapeutic and preventive properties of the food and its pleasant smell are due to the presence of 18 different herbs and plants in it.

Some of them stimulate appetite and normalize metabolic processes in the body, others support vision, and others have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Important! Despite the comparative safety of all components of Probalance dry food, the possibility of developing allergic reactions to individual components cannot be ruled out. Moreover, the safety of E321 antioxidants has not been proven, although there is no information about the harm of this component.

Consumption rate, advantages, disadvantages

Each pack of Probalance food comes with detailed instructions. The product must be used taking into account the recommended dosages. The daily rate of its consumption is determined by the body weight of the animal:

• less than 2 kg - no more than 60 g;
• 3 kg - from 60 to 70 g;
• 4 kg - from 70 to 80 g;
• 5 kg - from 80 to 90 g;
• more than 6 kg - from 90 to 100 g.

If the body weight does not correspond to the age category of a domestic cat or there are any doubts about the animal’s health, it is better to consult a veterinarian in advance. This will allow you to avoid the negative consequences of consuming Probalance food and achieve maximum benefits.

This cat food has both pros and cons. The main advantages include an affordable price, a balanced composition and the presence of a large number of useful macro- and microelements. In addition, the Probalance product goes well with wet types of cat food.

One of the shortcomings is the lack of awareness. Thus, in some cases, the manufacturer does not indicate on the packaging what birds the product is made from. In addition, Probalance contains antioxidants. Despite the fact that these compounds can be beneficial for the cat's body, they can cause allergic manifestations and exacerbation of gastrointestinal pathologies.

Another drawback of the product is the lack of special additives for nursing and pregnant cats. Another disadvantage is the presence of peas in the composition. This product often causes bloating

This is not a problem for adults, but kittens should be given food especially carefully.

It was developed taking into account the characteristics of the cat's body and meets all necessary veterinary standards. Consumers love that the line includes food designed for spayed and neutered pets. You can buy food at any pet store. Its cost is from 18 rubles.

Assortment and features of feed

All Probalance cat food can be divided into 2 groups - for adult cats and kittens. Food for the smallest is limited to one line of complete food (crickets and canned food), while food for adult cats includes several lines of dry and wet food.

Probalance food for adult cats

All wet food of this brand for adult cats are available in the form of pouches and canned food. Each series of food is available in several flavors (salmon, chicken, veal and rabbit). Current assortment:

• “Sensitive” (for cats with capricious digestion);
• “Active” (for energetic cats);
• “Sterilized” (for sterilized and neutered cats);
• "Immuno Protection" (to maintain immunity).

Dry food is represented by the following products:

• "Immuno Protection";
• "Sterilized";
• "Sensitive";
• “Hair and Beauty” (to maintain the beauty of the coat and healthy skin of cats).

These products can be combined with each other, but it is not recommended to confuse this food with a product from another manufacturer. For example, I buy Sterilized dry food for my older cat, and Active canned food for my younger cat (she is more active and spends more energy). But if I run out of crickets for a sterilized cat, I can safely give her wet food, since they are not mutually exclusive.

Probalance Active food is produced only in the form of pouches and canned food. 415 g cans are equipped with a convenient lid with a ring-opener. Large bags of Probalance food have a convenient cut line. Hair&Beauty food is produced only in the form of crickets. Probalance wet food is also complete ( no additional feeding required)

Composition of “adult” food

The content of food components may vary depending on the type and line of food. Ingredients listed:

Table: characteristics of dry and wet food for kittens

Probalance for kittens contains the same components as the product for adult cats, only in a different percentage. Some baby owners are afraid to accustom their pet to ready-made food since childhood, so the Kitten 1`st diet packaging contains special instructions, including a table for calculating the daily diet.

When I introduced my kitten to store-bought food, I first went to the vet. He calculated the approximate amount of calories required for the normal development and growth of a kitten, and compiled an approximate feeding schedule for several months. I hung these recommendations on the refrigerator, so all feedings took place “on the clock.”

On the bags and 400 g bags there is a table of the daily diet and recommendations for feeding adult cats and kittens

Other feeds to replace “Probalance”

Depending on the capabilities and financial situation, the cat owner can replace “Probalance” with foods of different classes:

• premium (Royal Canin, Hills, Eukanuba, Brit, etc.);
• super premium (Bosch, First Choice, Gina, Pronature, etc.);
• holistic (“Leonardo”, “Innova”, “Almo Nature”, “Chicken Soup”, etc.).

The quality of Probalance can be rivaled by higher-class feeds. Some veterinarians equate Probalance to super premium foods (for example, Gina and First Choice). And in terms of the presence of plant components, this food is close to some holistic foods.

Photo gallery:

The Royal Canin food formula was developed in France, but it is produced in Russia. Hills food is produced in Russia, the USA, France and the Netherlands.

First Choice food is produced in Canada by order of Russian distributors

Gina food is produced in Denmark (dry) and Thailand (canned) Leonardo food is produced in Germany

Kinds

Thus, the animal owner can choose the most suitable food for his pet.

Yellow series - Immuno. Thanks to the content of antioxidants and lysines, it strengthens the immune system. The prebiotic, which was specially selected by nutritionists, serves to maintain beneficial intestinal microflora. To support joint health, the composition includes glucosamine and chondrotin. An optimally selected composition of minerals and nutrients prevents the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

The blue series is presented in two types: Beauty and Sterilized. Beauty is recommended to be given in preparation for exhibitions. The food contains flax seed - a rich source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, improves coat growth, making it thick and shiny. The vitamins and minerals included in the complex increase the protective functions of the skin and improve its appearance. Sterilized is for spayed and neutered cats. Prevents the development of urolithiasis, stimulates water consumption, increasing the volume of urine. L-carnitine promotes fat burning and normalizes weight.

The green series - Sensitive is intended for cats who may have allergic reactions, as well as for animals with sensitive digestion. There is no herbal complex in the composition. The set of components included in the composition is limited, which reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions, but at the same time, the cat’s body’s needs for nutrients, as well as vitamins and minerals, are fully satisfied.

By age category

Today, the Probalance food line for adult cats includes the following products:

• Sensitive – food for pets with sensitive digestion;
• Active – food for active and energetic cats;
• Sterilized – for sterilized and neutered pets;
• Immuno Protection – to strengthen the immune system.

For sterilized animals

For kittens, Probalance produces only 1 type of food - Kitten 1'st Diet, which is presented in the form of wet canned food and dry food.

On a note! If the owner decides to switch the kitten to commercial food, it is recommended to start feeding it no earlier than at the age of 2 months.

A little about the manufacturer and production

There is a widespread opinion that a foreign product, although it costs an order of magnitude more, can boast of excellent quality, but domestic food is somewhat inferior in this regard, but at the same time their price tag is noticeably lower. Is it so?

The producers of ProBalance decided to refute this. No, we are not talking about exorbitant prices, but about decent quality. Despite the fact that this brand is relatively young, more and more people are taking a closer look at it. Naturally, the first thing they are interested in is how the food is prepared and what is included in it.

When producing rations, the same scheme is used. Ready-made components are delivered to the enterprise:

• meat in dehydrated (dehydrated) form;
• cereals;
• dried vegetables, etc.

They are combined in certain proportions and ground in a grinder. Then the resulting mass is mixed, moistened and subjected to heat treatment using high temperatures. This technique allows you to sterilize the mixture, from which dry food granules will subsequently be formed.

After that, boiled water is added to the mixture, and the pulp is sent to a special device, which gives the mass the usual appearance of dog food, and after drying, you get those dry, appetizing pieces that most pets like to crunch on.

But that’s not all - finally, useful substances are sprayed on top of the granules, enriching the diet with vitamins, minerals and other components with high biological activity. And they place the food in packaging that preserves its quality, aroma and taste.

Many scientific institutions are actively engaged in the study and development of vitamin and mineral supplements in order to obtain the most effective remedy. And the producers of ProBalance are no exception - their diets include a unique composition, Fitocare.

It consists of many extracts and extracts from medicinal plants. By the way, practicing veterinarians participated in the work on the composition, who know firsthand how difficult it is for dogs to tolerate a lack of any elements.

Fitocare components have a number of properties that positively affect the health of dogs:

• normalize metabolic processes;
• strengthen the immune system;
• protect the animal from ailments associated with the musculoskeletal system; help strengthen joints and bones;
• improve digestive processes;
• prevent the oxidation of free radicals – providing an active antioxidant effect;
• provide healthy vision;
• help maintain the reproductive functions of the body.

The composition can be called unique, having no analogues, especially since there are several compositions suitable for dogs at one time or another in their life.

Advantages and disadvantages

Despite the fact that Probalance food has appeared on the market relatively recently, many breeders choose it for their pets. The reason for this is the numerous advantages of the product:

• low cost compared to similar premium products;
• taste variety;
• possibility of regular use;
• presence of plant ingredients and amino acids;
• high biological value;
• absence of corn, which is poorly digested in the stomach;
• most of the protein components are of animal origin;
• In the production of feed, meat components are mainly used, rather than by-products.

— Yummy...
Despite the fact that reviews of Probalance food for cats are mostly positive, this product also has certain disadvantages, which you also need to familiarize yourself with first. The disadvantages include:

• lack of information on the packaging about what specific meat is used for production;
• relatively low concentration of vitamins;
• high content of plant components;
• the presence of synthetic antioxidants.

Probalance for cats

The food has an attractive price and a more or less balanced composition. It’s good that the composition includes dehydrated meat, and not offal, and also contains fats and vitamins. However, I would recommend Probalance food for cats that do not have problems with the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, since it contains synthetic additives E320 and E321, which can cause deterioration in the functioning of internal organs. So, if your cat is absolutely healthy, but it is not possible to buy super-premium food, then you can give food from a Russian manufacturer. The composition of the feed differs depending on the line. There are 3 of them: -yellow, to strengthen the immune system. The composition contains added antioxidants, prebiotics and chondrotin: - blue, for long-haired and neutered animals. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are present; -green, for cats that have allergies and digestive problems. The composition contains no components that cause allergies.

Hi all! I bought Probalance food not so long ago, which I really regret, because I didn’t know about it before. Previously, I overpaid for food, bought expensive food, but this one is not inferior in composition, the cat is cheerful, eats with pleasure. I also buy Probalance wet in bags. Good composition, pleasant smell and color

If you feed expensive food, take Probalance for a test, I advise! If your pet likes it, then you will have an additional bonus in the form of decent savings, this is important in our time

I feed my cats Probalance food with salmon - I’m very pleased! The granules are of the optimal size, the cats (and there are 7 of them in my care) eat everything with great appetite and look good. At first I bought them Probalance for sterilized cats, everything is also good, but there is a larger granule and for my little ones it turned out to be too large, but with salmon it’s just right! Well, of course, the price is pleasing, despite the fact that this is a premium class.

I have been feeding my cats Probalance food for 6 years. Briton Richard, 11 years old, and mixed breed Mila, 8 years old. We have never switched to another food, because everything suits us. Transferred to him from 1st Chase. A friend recommended it - she said that the composition is almost the same, but costs 2 times less. During all this time, there were no health problems with the animals. Cheerful, shiny coat, going to the toilet like clockwork. The composition was confused by the presence of artificial preservatives E, but in 2016 the manufacturer replaced them with natural ones (a mixture of tocopherols). I started feeding Sterilized food, but from time to time I add variety to my cats’ diet, buying Sensitive dry food with chicken and rice and Immuno Protection with chicken and turkey or salmon. Everyone eats equally well. I look at animals. If everything is good with them, the price is fine, then why invent anything else in terms of nutrition. I definitely recommend this food. Moreover, now it has become much easier to buy it - not only on the Internet, as it was before, but also in chain stores.

Good afternoon. I have a cat “Vaska”, an ordinary yard cat, I brought her from the village two years ago (apparently that’s why they didn’t bother with the tricky name of the cat), at that time she was three years old.. For the first year I fed her what my grandparents gave in the village , in fact, I cooked fish for the cat and periodically chicken meat, etc.... By the way, I ate fish only pollock... a very expensive pleasure in our time, plus time for cooking (I practically don’t cook for myself at all, after work I have tea, boutiques and sleep)... In connection with which I began to think about switching to specialized food for cats... Since I don’t “rummage” in this topic, the first person I asked was the seller at the pet store, fortunately there is one in the next house... As I advised, I still take it to this day... wet food "Probalance" 85g..., and he eats all kinds, as they say It's just crackling behind the ears. So we’ve been sitting on Probalance for over a year and there are no problems, although she’s no longer a young “girl”, but she’s still playful!

Reviews from veterinarians and cat owners

This cat food is suitable for most breeds. It contains amino acids, taurine, minerals and other beneficial substances. Despite the benefits, you need to give the product to your cat based on its weight. If the dosage is exceeded, the animal may experience digestive disorders and other negative manifestations. Comparing this complementary food with other similar products, we can highlight its affordable cost and relative safety.

Our cat Boris often walks outside. He recently ate something that caused him to have intestinal problems. The veterinarian recommended including the product “Probalance” in the cat’s diet. The pet’s digestive disorders resolved within 4-5 days. Now I will always add this food to the main menu. It is inexpensive and can be found in any pet store. But I prefer to order it online, on the manufacturer’s official website.

At first I was somewhat confused by the fact that Probalance food is produced by a Russian company. Previously, I fed my two kittens only imported products. However, I recently decided to try a cheaper Russian analogue. Animals enjoy using it. I noticed that since I introduced this bait into the diet, my pets have become more active and playful. The main thing is to calculate the exact amount of food for 1 meal. To do this you need to know the weight of the cat.

General characteristics

Although there is an opinion that Russian food is not of sufficient quality, the new animal food Probalance has a good composition and an affordable price. Its relation to the premium class does not mean that it is of the highest quality, it is a middle class food. Among the existing 4 classes, it ranks second. Probalance is in demand among those who cannot afford really high-quality super premium food.

Features of use

First of all, when buying food for their pet, owners pay attention to its composition. Probalance contains the following ingredients:

1. One of the main elements of the feed is dehydrated (dried) turkey or chicken meat. The meat included in the composition has undergone special processing, during which all the liquid is evaporated, leaving flour containing all the nutrients. The digestibility of this product is 90%. The amount of substances it contains makes it quite nutritious. At the same time, there are no by-products in it. There is also food available that contains salmon instead of meat.
2. The composition includes grains such as rice and barley, which cause a feeling of fullness. They are easily absorbed by the cat's body. Cats love sprouted barley, and rice does not cause allergic reactions and has a beneficial effect on the intestinal mucosa.
3. The beet pulp contained in the beet pulp is not absorbed by the animal's body, but it is included as a nutrient material for the formation of beneficial microflora in the intestines, thereby ensuring good digestion.
4. To improve the condition of the coat and skin, the composition includes sunflower oil and chicken fat.
   Oil is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Medicinal composition of feed
5. An important component is taurine, an amino acid that animals, except cats, synthesize independently. Being part of bile, it ensures high-quality digestion of fats, helps improve metabolic processes in the nervous and cardiovascular systems, and prevents the development of eye dystrophy.
6. Probalance contains the necessary vitamin and mineral complex containing yeast, which is a source of vitamin B12.
7. The high nutritional value of egg powder provides your cat with complete protein, as well as minerals and vitamins.
8. To increase appetite and improve regeneration, the composition includes the amino acid L-carnitine, which regulates metabolism and promotes fat burning.
9. Probalance contains 18 types of medicinal herbs, thanks to which the food has acquired a pleasant smell and therapeutic and preventive qualities: increases immunity, improves metabolism, has anti-inflammatory properties, supports the nervous system and vision.
10. Probalance contains the additive myco carb, which prevents pathogenic microflora and mold from developing in the feed. There are no side effects and the nutritional value of the product is preserved.

The main disadvantage of the food is the content of synthetic antioxidants – E320 and E321. They retain cholesterol in the blood and can cause kidney disease, gastrointestinal tract disease, and cause allergies.
