Quite recently, about two years ago, a completely new and unfamiliar product appeared on the Russian pet food market under the Savara brand - dog food, about which there were practically no reviews from real consumers and veterinarians, and dog lovers treated it with great skepticism . Savarra dog food is produced and packaged in the UK by Golden Acres Pet Food, a company that specializes in producing pet food and developing custom brands. The plant of this company is equipped with the latest modern equipment, uses advanced technologies, and also has its own laboratories to control the quality of products.
Today, reviews about Savarra dog food are becoming more and more common, and most of them are positive. The wary attitude of consumers gives way to interest in the new brand; many professional breeders, having tried Savara dry dog food, recommend it to other dog lovers.

General information about the manufacturer
Formally, Savarra food can be classified as Russian. The diets are produced in the UK by order of a domestic manufacturer.

Advantages and disadvantages of food
Savara is a dog food that is hypoallergenic. This is its most important advantage. It is ideal for animals that suffer from allergies and digestive disorders.

This is one of the main disadvantages. But you can easily order it in any online store. Therefore, availability must be taken care of in advance.

Composition of Savarra feed

Grains are added to the feed, in particular rice - white or brown. No wheat or corn. In addition to meat and vegetables, they also include fish, vitamins, and prebiotics.
You will never see artificial flavor enhancers or colors in Savarra, and there are no GMOs. But Savara dog food, whose composition is completely natural, also includes antioxidants.

Ask a Question
To avoid allergies in animals, Savarra excluded chicken meal and chicken fat from his feed.
This food will meet the needs of dogs on a strict diet, susceptible to allergies or with weak digestion.
Squirrels
The main source of protein is meat. Next come salmon, peas, dehydrated eggs, oats.
Carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates, which supply the body with the energy necessary for the proper growth and development of dogs, are rice, peas and oats. Peas also provide fiber to the body.
Fats
Turkey, lamb, salmon, and flax seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. These acids have a beneficial effect on the coat, helping it acquire a healthy shine, as well as on vision, skin condition and heart.
Additional components
Parsley contains a lot of useful substances: phosphorus, selenium, potassium, vitamins B and C, various micro- and macroelements that benefit the body. The immune system is strengthened and metabolism is regulated.
Chamomile, chicory, blueberries and cranberries are all endless sources of vitamins. Whole tomatoes, spinach, green mussels remove waste and toxins from the body. These are antioxidants that have a positive effect on the dog’s ligaments and joints, maintain normal vision and mucous membranes, and prevent the development of inflammatory processes in the animal’s genitourinary system.
Table: visual comparison of Savarra food with other brands
| Brand | Ingredients of everyday dry food (first 10 ingredients) | Average cost 1 kg | Conclusion |
| Savarra |
| 550–700 rub. | Good food with a relatively high meat content. You can find the best price-quality ratio, but if this food suits the cat, then there is no point in experimenting: the animal gets everything it needs from this diet. Tangible advantages include the use of different types of meat and the absence of chicken in the composition. |
| Go! |
| 450–500 rub. | Feed manufacturer Go! also does not specify the percentage of ingredients, however, based on the number of plant and meat components, we can conclude that there are much more of the latter. The company uses only fresh products. The lack of pre-treatment helps preserve as many nutrients as possible. The price of the food is significantly lower, especially if you are not a nursery owner and cannot purchase Savarra products in bulk. The quality is either comparable or better depending on the ratio of ingredients. |
| Orijen |
| 700–1000 rub. | Elite food, the recipe of which is developed according to the principle of biological compliance. The manufacturer tries to bring the composition as close as possible to the natural menu: he uses several types of meat, gives preference to fresh products and adds both pure muscle tissue and a small amount of offal of various types. However, the food is not suitable for everyone: it contains a lot of protein and fat, and can also cause allergies due to the variety of ingredients. If the cat was initially fed premium food or worse, it is better to at least switch it to Savarra products first. The latter has a more gentle composition. |
| Royal Canin |
| 600–700 rub. | There is no whole meat at all, only isolated dehydrated proteins. The manufacturer prefers to add most of the nutrients in the form of separate complexes. Cereals occupy the first place. Since this food belongs to the premium class, we would not compare it with Savarra products, since the strengths are initially unequal, but the cost of Royal Canin is comparable to the price of Savarra. The quality of the latter is much better. |
Savarra feed range
The stores offer 5 lines for all types of dogs:
- puppies;
- large breed puppies;
- adults of large breeds;
- adults of small breeds;
- elderly dogs for the prevention of obesity.
Thus, the granules included in the food for especially large dogs are much larger in size compared to the granules included in the food for all other breeds. This is done to make it easier for large animals to chew due to the anatomical structure of the jaw. The line for large breed dogs also includes the following additives:
- seaweed;
- green mussel extract.
Thanks to these ingredients, which are saturated with various minerals, dogs’ fur acquires a brighter color, and joints and ligaments that bear increased stress due to the animal’s heavy weight also receive significant benefits.

Ask a Question
The body receives the necessary microelements thanks to supplements such as chondroitin and glucosamine.
These elements contribute to the normal growth and functioning of cartilage and bone tissue. They help avoid problems common to large dogs. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are also included in the feed. Excessive gas formation in the stomach is reduced, and putrefactive processes in the intestines stop developing. The stool returns to normal, the microflora returns to normal and dysbacteriosis does not appear.
The stomach of small dogs is much smaller than that of large dogs, and therefore they are unable to eat a lot of food at once. But small pets expend much more energy. Therefore, food for small breeds must correspond to their characteristics and contain more calories and be more energy-intensive. To replenish energy costs, the diet must contain fats and Omega-3 fatty acids. Information about them is on the label.
Sometimes owners of small dogs have a negative attitude towards the inclusion of grains in food. But decorative breeds need to receive carbohydrates in order to avoid glycemia. But grains are not digested at such a fast pace. Slow digestion counteracts sugar spikes in dogs. The animal’s health is also positively influenced by the presence of vitamins, antioxidants and fruits in the food.
Compared to large dogs, small ones are considered long-lived. And therefore, proper feeding can ensure good health in later life. You need to pay a lot of attention to organizing your little pet’s nutrition. It is advisable to choose healthy and balanced food that meets the requirements of the breed and does not cause allergies.
