How are Native feeds made?

The production of these products is carried out by a professional team.
The development of nutrition formulas and the organization of technological processes are carried out by technologists, engineers, veterinarians and nutritionists. The latest technologies are used in the production process, which make it possible to preserve all the beneficial qualities of the products used. The food is made from natural and environmentally friendly products. Croquettes are prepared using the extrusion method. A clearly measured volume of dry ingredients is mixed with water and the resulting mass with the consistency of porridge is loaded into an apparatus - an extruder, in which the composition is heated, then pressed through thin holes. At the output of the installation there are knives with which thin sausages are cut into small pieces and sent to dryers. During the drying process, moisture is removed, and granules are obtained whose moisture content does not exceed 10%.

In canned food, meat is present in the form of small pieces. The finished food is sterilized, then it is placed in metal jars and filled with broth or a gelling agent. The company produces both single-meat canned food and mixtures with a side dish, where pieces of chicken or beef are combined with pieces of vegetables.

Reviews

Now let's listen to what cat owners themselves have to say about Savar's food:

Antonina: “My kitten is only 4 months old, but despite this we have already tried 3 types of food. Complementary feeding, as expected, began with dry food. First we tried Royal Canin and Hills, which the baby did not like. He didn’t even try, although she suggested it more than once. After surfing the forums on the Internet, I decided to order a small bag of Savara food. I really liked its composition, it is transparent. The manufacturer clearly states what ingredients it contains. The kitten did not immediately, but gradually began to eat. The pieces themselves are small and can be easily chewed. I recommend".

Alice: “At first we fed our cat inexpensive, well-known food. After some time, we began to notice that our pet was not very active. We went to the vet and found out that he has a weak digestive system. We underwent treatment and the veterinarian advised us to switch to holistic medicine. I ordered Savara food. A month later the cat became more active and playful. The wool sheds less and looks more attractive. I give this food 10 out of 10. The only thing that confuses me is the price. A bit expensive."

Oksana: “Savara is probably the best food I’ve ever bought. The composition alone is worth it! More than half is pure meat. I only buy this product for my cats, especially since they are both sterilized and their health should be monitored especially carefully.”

Why is he so good?

Savara is a super-premium holistic food, which already says a lot.
Few foods have the right to be called that. It was developed by specialists in the UK, from where supplies are made to Russia. They worked on its composition for a long time, creating the ideal balance of nutrients, selecting the best and healthiest ingredients. It took a long time to create Savarra food.

There are six types of Savara food for cats:

1. For kittens, which contains turkey and rice
2. For cats with digestive problems (lamb and rice)
3. For sterilized overweight cats (turkey and rice)
4. For indoor adult cats (duck and rice)
5. Hair removal food for adult cats (with duck and rice)
6. Regular adult cat food (lamb and rice)

The entire selection of food from Savara is completely hypoallergenic.

By age category

The manufacturer also took care of kittens up to one year old. For them, the line of feeds has its own product:

• Savarra Kitten is based on dietary tender turkey meat, which contains many nutrients that are easily absorbed by the young body. Turkey contains magnesium, which strengthens the nervous system, phosphorus, which has a beneficial effect on bone formation, and sodium, which normalizes metabolic processes in the body. Since the main task of nutrition at this age is to ensure the full development and growth of the animal, the meat content in the feed is 77%. In addition, thanks to the balanced content of microelements and vitamins, the food helps maintain and strengthen the health of the kitten.

According to numerous reviews, Savara kitten food is excellent for pregnant and lactating cats. The product fully meets their increased need for nutrients and nutrients.

The remaining representatives of the line are intended for animals aged 1 year and older.

Feeding recommendations

Due to the high meat content, excess food can be difficult for a cat to tolerate and negatively affect its condition. Therefore, before feeding, you should carefully study the manufacturer’s recommendations indicated on the packaging.

The required amount of Savara feed per day is calculated based on the weight of the animal. For kittens the norms are as follows:

• 0.35-0.7 kg – 27-45 g per day;
• 0.7-1.8 kg – 45-68 g per day;
• 1.8-2.8 kg – 68-76 g per day;
• 2.8-5 kg ​​– 76-100 g per day;
• 5 kg and more – from 100 g per day.

Standard for adult cats:

• 1-2.5 kg – 30-45g per day;
• 2.5-3.5 kg – 45-50 g per day;
• 3.5-5 kg ​​– 50-55 g per day;
• 5 kg and more – from 55 g per day.

- Yummy!..
It should be remembered that for adult animals two feedings a day are enough. Kittens need to be fed 3-4 times.

When dirt in the ears is an indicator of disease

Sometimes dirty ears are an indicator of a disease. Contacting a veterinary clinic may be required if:

• ears get dirty within a few days after hygiene procedures;
• a lot of wax is produced in the ear canal;
• purulent discharge does not stop;
• At the same time, the cat is restless, itches often, leaving scratches, and shakes its head.

Such symptoms occur with otitis media of any severity or when the ear canal is damaged by ear mites. Accurate diagnosis is carried out in a veterinary clinic. The earlier treatment is started, the more effective it is, and the less the animal suffers.

If left untreated, your pet may experience deafness. In addition, the ear contains the vestibular apparatus, which is responsible for balance. If your cat has ear diseases, he or she may experience dizziness and nausea.

Drops are used to treat ear diseases. In some cases, the veterinarian may prescribe antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.

It is necessary to instill the medicine only after removing purulent discharge and sulfur, otherwise the effect of the drug will not be effective. The cleansing procedure is carried out in the same way as for healthy cats, but instead of a special cleansing gel, the doctor may recommend hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine. After recovery, they should not be used. They cause the delicate skin on the inside of the ears to dry out and peel. For the same reason, you should not use products containing alcohol.

A few more facts about Savarra food

• All packages (except the one for kittens) indicate the estimated age of the animal from 1 year to 7 years. Naturally, you shouldn’t think that cats don’t live longer - this is a conventional designation. If your animal is healthy, it can eat this food for the rest of its life.
• Savarra packages with duck are green, with lamb - red, with turkey - beige.
• The manufacturer promises to expand the line and produce wet food in the near future.
• Not long ago, vigilant owners, when purchasing another package, noticed smaller croquettes. If this happened to you, don’t panic, it’s not a fake - in one of the batches of food they actually used a molder of a different shape - a smaller one. Whether this is an experiment or an unfortunate accident is unknown, but there is definitely nothing wrong with the food.
