Conclusions about Four Paws food
Subjective conclusions about Four Paws food are positive. The product is definitely better than any premium food, although it is unlikely to be suitable for dogs with special needs. The low protein content is a little confusing, given the high calorie content and volume of grains. This suggests that the food may not be suitable for dogs prone to excess weight.
Reviews on dog owner forums are very flattering. Many owners have kept their pets on Four Paws food for years and are satisfied with the results. The advantage of the product is the relatively low price against the backdrop of quality; according to these criteria, the “Four Paws” food has almost no analogues.
CLUB 4 PAWS: reviews from veterinarians and consumers
Many dog owners, as well as veterinary specialists, speak favorably of CLUB 4 PAWS food; the brand is recommended by various resources (petobzor.com).
“CLUB 4 PAWS” reviews from veterinarians
“I always advise clients not to skimp on dog food.
CLUB 4 PAWS is a very good choice, premium quality food, but inexpensive. A huge plus is that it is made from meat and offal, and these components predominate in its composition. The composition of the supplement is also impressive. If you feed your pets with this food, there is no need to provide separate vitamin-mineral complexes and omega acids. An excellent find by the developers is the INTEGRAMIX formula. Ginger stimulates digestion and immunity, hawthorn is good for the heart. Tomatoes are rich in cholines, which prevent cholelithiasis, and bananas are rich in potassium, which is important for all organs. It’s commendable that the line is branched out; food is developed for different ages, breeds, taking into account health characteristics and activity levels.” Vitaly Romanishin, head physician of the SuperVet clinic, work experience over 15 years

How to choose food for dogs with sensitive digestion
Food intolerance in dogs can be caused by:
- gluten (vegetable protein found in cereals);
- animal proteins, the source of which is raw meat;
- synthetic additives.
If your dog tolerates gluten normally, you can buy food with grains (wheat, rye, barley, oats), which serve as a source of carbohydrates (energy) and fiber). If you are intolerant, you should choose food with a gluten-free formula.
Chicken is the most common and versatile component of dog food. But it is not always suitable for animals with sensitive digestion; for them, lamb is preferable, which is easily digestible and contains hypoallergenic protein.
If you are prone to digestive disorders and allergies, you need to buy food without artificial additives. Premium food does not contain chemical dyes, flavors, or flavor enhancers, but they usually use synthetic antioxidants. Club 4 Paws products compare favorably with foods of this class in that they contain tocopherol, a natural antioxidant and source of vitamin E.
