Berkley cat food

Pet food is a very important element of care, on which the health, appearance, and activity of the animal depend. Feeding cats from a regular table is not the best option, since in this case it is almost impossible to find a balanced diet. It is easier, more convenient and more practical to buy ready-made feeds with a good composition. Moreover, the modern assortment of types of feed is very large.

Berkley products for kittens and cats are produced by the German brand Landguth Heimtiernahrung GmbH, which also manufactures products for other animals. But the Berkley line only includes wet-type cat foods. The recipe, the composition of the products are unique, developed exclusively for this company. Despite the fact that the brand is German, production has been established not only in Germany, but also in France. In any case, the control over the recipe and production is very strict at all stages.

Berkley cat food is evaluated by experts as a product super-premium class. The brand declares that only quality components are used in the manufacture. The composition lacks ingredients that are often used in low-quality feed: dyes and flavors of various types, preservatives, soy.

Like any pet food, Berkley has its advantages and disadvantages. Among the positive properties are the following:

• the main component refers to meat products - the minimum amount of this ingredient is 40%;
• the composition differs in products of different forms of release, pouches include at least 40% of meat, canned product - from 70%, it is easy to choose the desired option;

Do not forget about the disadvantages:

• there is no clear decoding of the composition formulas, therefore, the meat component may contain by-products;
• dry type feed, additional production of delicacies is not produced;
• not too budgetary price, although this criterion is quite controversial, since the quality is quite consistent with the price segment.

First of all, veterinarians respond positively to the products, but there are few such reviews, mainly animal owners describe their experience. As a disadvantage, they generally call the considerable cost of feed. However, most often with the proviso that feeds from other manufacturers of the same quality cost no less.

The composition in which there are no unpleasant aromas or unnatural inclusions is highly praised. The feed is favored by the absence of preservatives, flavors and coloring agents. Pates and food bits smell and look good and are popular with pets.

The food has been compared to various leading brands, most often in favor of Berkley, but negative comparisons have also been made. Users call a disadvantage not a very rich line of food in bags, only one type of medicated food is also a small disadvantage. A huge plus - pets eat wet food with pleasure, they feel good, there are no digestive disorders.

Some buyers note that the smell and consistency of wet food resembles that of a stew that is produced for people. The contents of cans and bags divide well, breaks, you can grind without problems for babies who still have difficulty eating food. The declared berries are visible in canned food, so there is no doubt about their presence.
