Manufacturer and official website

“VELKORM” is a manufacturing company of two popular brands of ready-made animal feed: Rogue and Probalance. The company has existed for more than 10 years and confidently occupies its “niche” in the market.

The manufacturer and official website (https://delo-korm.ru/catalog/dlya-sobak/filter/brand-is-prohvost/) willingly introduces its customers to the history that they experienced. The “familiar” style of presenting information immediately catches your eye.

The website says that a “serious” path was immediately chosen for production. The main goal set by the company was to oust “promoted” import brands from the domestic food market in favor of domestic production. It is interesting that the company's leaders sought to find a way for mass advertising without raising the price of the product. Oddly enough, they found such a way, it was word of mouth.

In order for a product to sell itself, you need to invest a lot in it, not only money, but also effort. Realizing that you can only compete with quality, the manufacturer involved the country's leading specialists in the development of diets. For production, modern, specialized capacities of the Aller Petfood plant were chosen.

I would like to answer that manufacturers' representatives are constantly in touch with customers. Again, the communication style is “familiar”, but there is a positive result. For example, dangerous “E-shki” were excluded from the composition, since many potential buyers pointed out this drawback.

Product range

Both dry and wet ProTail food is produced for cats of different ages. This allows you to choose the most appropriate nutrition for each age group.

Pauchi

Most often, cat owners buy food for their pets in the form of spiders. A pouch is a sealed bag containing wet canned food. Often, food in pouches can be a substitute for everyday food, but it is not recommended to constantly feed your cat only food.

For kittens

There is only one form of canned food for kittens. This is a very cheap soft food that can be given to kittens from the age of two months. The main component of this food is chicken meat in sauce. Spiders are usually not sold individually, but they can be purchased in a package of 25 bags of 85 grams - this is much cheaper. The food contains all the nutritional elements necessary for the normal development of the animal, from carbohydrates, fats and proteins to vitamins, minerals and taurine.

The composition of the feed is as follows: liquid - 81%, protein - 8%, fat - 5%, ash - 2.5%, fiber - 0.5%, calcium - 0.19%, phosphorus - 0.15%.

For adult cats

There are many flavors of wet food available in the form of spiders, intended for adult cats that are already one year old, but not yet eleven years old: with turkey, liver, fish and rabbit flavors. There are also several foods with combined flavors: “Meat assortment”, “Veal and lamb”, “Chicken and quail”, “Beef in sauce”. The weight of the spider is about 85 grams.

The composition of the food is as follows: liquid - 81%, protein - 7%, fat - 4.5%, ash - 2.5%, fiber - 0.5%, calcium - 0.1%, phosphorus - 0.09%.

For older cats

Specialized food is not produced for older animals, but products designed for adult animals are also suitable for older cats.

Dry

Perhaps the most convenient form of food for cats is dry food. It does not stain dishes, does not require special storage conditions and is cheap. It is ideal for those who do not have enough time to prepare food for their cat. Unfortunately, it is impossible to feed animals such food constantly, since with constant consumption it can lead to the development of serious diseases of the digestive system.

For kittens

Dry food ProTail for kittens is made without the use of flavor enhancers, flavorings and other chemical components that can harm the baby. Suitable for animals over three months old. Thanks to the high-calorie complex, these foods provide the kitten with a boost of energy for the whole day, and the presence of the optimal amount of vitamins and microelements in the composition will help the body develop normally. Contains natural chicken meat. Available in both large packages of ten kilograms and small packages of 350 grams.

The percentage composition of the feed is as follows: protein – 36%, fat – 12%, liquid – 10%, ash – 9%, fiber – 3.5%, calcium – 1.8%, phosphorus – 1.1%.

For adult cats

ProKhvost's assortment includes most foods for adult cats. Foods are available in beef, chicken, rabbit and fish flavors. They are produced in small packages of 350 grams, medium ones of a kilogram and large packages of ten kilograms. The high content of natural animal proteins makes the taste of the product as close to natural as possible, making these foods appealing to the most demanding cat. The shape of the crispy croquettes promotes mechanical cleaning of teeth, which provides excellent oral care. It is worth noting that ProTail food is rich in taurine, which is necessary for the animal’s visual acuity, as well as for the prevention of diseases of the nervous system and heart. The composition also includes natural pieces of meat, which are a source of all essential amino acids necessary for normal life.

The composition of the feed is as follows: protein – 30%, fat – 10%, liquid – 10%, ash – 9%, fiber – 3.5%, calcium – 1.8%, phosphorus – 1.1%.

For older cats

There are no separate ProTail food for older animals, but if necessary, you can feed your pet with this product to ensure its longevity. If you have not given ProTail to your cat before, and the old food is no longer suitable for her according to age restrictions, offer her this food. She might like this product.

Cans

ProTail canned food is available not only in bags, but also in cans. The undoubted advantage of this form of release is its longer shelf life compared to others, but this immediately affects the price. In addition, the range of canned food in jars is not so rich.

For kittens

ProKhvost's assortment does not include canned food for kittens in jars. Buy your kitten canned food in bags and supplement it with a small amount of dry food.

For adult cats

The range of food in cans is significantly lower than that of a similar form in pouches, however, among them you can find several foods that your pet will like. On sale there is food with the taste of chicken and rabbit, salmon and trout, and cold cuts.

The composition of canned food in cans is as follows: liquid - 81%, protein - 7%, fat - 4.5%, ash - 2.5%, fiber - 0.5%, calcium - 0.1% and phosphorus - 0. 09%.

For older cats

There is also no separate food for older cats. You can buy them spiders for adult animals and dry food for natural teeth cleaning.

Composition of food Rogue

So, let’s look at the composition of the Rogue feed, which is served in 20 kg packaging. Main points of the presentation:

• The food is prepared taking into account the needs of dogs of all breeds and sizes - this is impossible even in theory.
• The diet is recommended for everyday use.
• Rogue food is better than food from the table - a controversial and stalemate argument, given that such a comparison is made by the manufacturer himself.
• It contains meat, cereals and vegetables.
• Transparency of the composition - we will deal with this advantage below.
• There are no unnecessary ingredients in the composition (meaning useless fillers).
• The size of the granules is 16x8x10 mm - universal for medium and large dogs.

Compound:

• Cereals and plant products.
• Meat and animal products.
• Animal fats and vegetable oils.
• Natural flavoring additives.
• Fish and fish by-products.
• Minerals and vitamins.
• Antioxidants – E320, E321.
• Preservative (myco carb).

There is no need to “disassemble” each ingredient separately, since they are all opaque - the specific name, origin and quality are unknown.

To compare the indicators of guaranteed analysis, let’s take generally accepted standards for economy class:

• Protein 22% is normal.
• Fat 10% is slightly below normal.
• Fiber (fiber) 4% – higher than normal due to the increased content of plant ingredients.
• Moisture 10% is normal.
• Calorie content 337 kcal/100 g - higher than normal, obviously due to cereals.

Pros and cons of PROTail in comparison with competitors

In the line of economy class products for cats, the most similar to PROKhvost are:

• TOMi - contains slightly more meat (60% of the total amount, of which 5% fillet, and the rest by-products) than in PROTail food, there is no amino acid taurine, but inulin is added, which belongs to the group of dietary fiber and improves digestion; The food is produced in two forms: meat pieces in sauce in bags (with goose liver, mixed fish, veal and rabbit), their price is 30–40 rubles. per package;
• canned food in a jar - available with veal and veal + turkey, price - from 80 rubles;

  TOMi food is produced in Germany

PROKhvost food is cheaper than its competitors. They contain the required amount of vitamins and minerals for cats. There is almost twice as much fiber as its analogues, and an amino acid (taurine) is present. The main disadvantage is the predominance of offal over sirloin meat (other producers have a little more of it). Another inconvenience is that the PROKhvost line does not contain medicinal feeds or products for special groups of animals (pregnant, lactating, elderly, etc.) - but they are usually not included in the range of economy feeds. But they produce wet and dry PROKhvost products suitable for kittens.

Advantages and disadvantages of Rokhvost feed

Having considered the composition, we can highlight the advantages and disadvantages of Rogue food. Pros:

• Low price.
• Widespread.

Minuses:

• Clearly “embellished” presentation of the food.
• Opaque composition.

The disadvantages include the reputation rating of the food on review resources. There are widespread complaints about flatulence. Many dog ​​owners were dissatisfied with the well-being and appearance of their pets when kept on Rokhvost.

Conclusions about ProTail food

The reviews on ProTail dog food may not be bad in general (although there are some), but its composition leaves much to be desired. Taking this into account, the Dai Lapu website will not recommend it. If you need inexpensive food, but with a more or less good composition, look at Probalance.

Price of ProTail feed

• Dry dog ​​food ProTail 2.5 kg - about 215 rubles;
• Dry food ProTail for dogs 13 kg - about 1120 rubles;
• Dry dog ​​food ProTail 20 kg - about 2300 rub.

The above prices are approximate and may vary depending on the store and other factors.

Which food should I choose?

ProKhvost offers a large selection of flavored cat food options. Depending on your pet’s preferences, you can offer him several options for dry and wet food, including canned food.

For kittens

The choice of ProTail food for babies is small: dry and wet, both with chicken flavor. However, the lack of variety does not at all reduce appetite. Kittens love both the crispy croquettes of dry food and the juicy slices of wet food dipped in delicious gravy.

For adult cats and kittens

For adult pets, starting from one year of age, the company offers:

• dry food - with the taste of fish, beef, chicken and rabbit;
• wet food - with the taste of liver, turkey, fish, rabbit, veal and lamb, chicken and quail, fish, cold cuts;
• canned food comes in the flavors of rabbit, chicken, salmon and trout and cold cuts.

Flaws

Unfortunately, there are many more negative points:

• the label contains only general wording;
• there is no clear list of ingredients with the percentage of each component;
• synthetic antioxidants;
• despite the fact that cereals are in first place in the recipe, the food contains an insufficient amount of fiber;
• not very common - it can rarely be found in pet stores;
• the low content of meat components does not allow the animal to eat enough (even after eating 2 pouches, the cat may remain hungry).

Manufacturer information

ProTail dog food is manufactured in Russia. The place of release is Tver. But the plant that produces this food belongs to the Danish concern Aller Petfood A/S. Distribution is handled by the company Welcome. This company also produces Probalance food. And if the latter is premium food. That ProKhvost is a representative of the niche of economical feed on the market. However, a well-known concern is developing the food, which means its quality should be high. After all, almost the flagships of the market participated in the development.

Regarding the preparation procedure, the manufacturer reports that it uses only selected grains. Regarding meat, the choice fell on poultry.
