Features of feed for kittens PURINA ONE

For many owners, pets are practically family members, taking care of whom, at least sometimes, adds a lot of problems, but at the same time allows you to bring quite pleasant moments into life. A truly zealous owner of a fluffy pet will always strive to create the best conditions for the full-fledged existence of his pet, so that he lives as long as possible in a family that loves him. It is for this reason that you need to be so careful about choosing the right food for your cat. After all, high-quality food is considered the basis of a healthy life for both people and animals.

Purina ONE dry food for cats is produced at the French, Italian and Russian factories of the American company Nestle Purina PetCare Company (USA). Experts classify Purina ONE food as an economy food class, although in some cases its composition falls somewhere in the middle between economy and premium class.

Consider the main advantages of feed:

• food is quite widespread, it can be purchased without problems in many pet stores;
• in comparison with other feeds in the same segment, the price can be considered rather low;
• the composition is based not only on meat by-products.

Now let's dwell on the cons:

• too much vegetable protein, which is not very good for animal feed;
• for the production of feed, the company sometimes uses raw materials of poor quality ("dry protein", "salmon meat" - these general formulations often hide food processing products, the so-called food waste);
• unfortunately, there are too few useful vitamins and minerals in the diet, a minimum of useful substances;
• the composition does not indicate which antioxidants are used, it is not specified whether there are additives in the diet for aroma and taste.

The main characteristic feature of almost all lines of the American brand can be considered a high concentration of protein in the composition of the feed. This nutritional component is necessary for any animal at all stages of their full development. Most often, it is cats that need protein, especially if they almost never go out for a walk, and it will also be useful for very small kittens.

The Purina ONE dry food range for kittens between 1 and 12 months of age is not overwhelming. You can easily purchase chicken and whole grains feed. On this, the choice, in fact, ends. This food is available in easy-to-store 200 and 750 g bags.

Let's take a look at the main benefits of the feed.

• All vital functions of the kitten's body will work efficiently thanks to the special composition of this food, because it was created specifically for the initial phase of a cat's life.
• Your pet's muscles and bones will also develop correctly due to the increased protein content and the correct selection of mineral elements.
• Excellent digestibility for furry pets thanks to the highest quality food ingredients.
• Kittens' gums and teeth will look great.
• The food contains omega-3 fatty acid, a very important nutrient component, which is also found in mother's milk. This fatty acid has been shown to stimulate the development of the brain and vision in kittens.

In the composition of this feed, you can also find additives such as:

• prebiotics (they can have a positive effect on the microflora of the small stomach);
• yeast (they contain vitamins and various minerals in the right amount);
• antioxidants (can significantly increase the immunity of an animal).

If you want to purchase pouches with chicken, then you should pay attention to Purina ONE wet food for kittens with chicken and carrots in 75 grams sachets.

Feeding rate:

• for small kittens from 6 to 12 weeks old, 1-4 spiders should be given per day;
• for slightly grown kittens (from 12 to 26 weeks) - 2-6 sachets of wet food per day;
• adolescent kittens (26 to 52 weeks old) can be offered 6 sachets per day.

Feeding kittens should be divided into at least 2 meals.

Any kitten will develop in its own way. This is why the number of feed bags or the feeding time itself can be significantly altered. It can also depend on the level of activity of the animal or its growth rate. Serve liquid food at room temperature. For pregnant or nursing cats, the special dietary requirement is traditionally 3 to 5 sachets of wet food.

Due to the fact that Purina ONE cat food has become very widespread, many owners of fluffy cats and experienced veterinarians willingly leave reviews about it. Pet owners assure that their pets eat food willingly from the first try. Sometimes the effect of the feed becomes noticeable immediately: the animal gains weight well and its coat quality improves (silkiness and soft shine appear). True, there are negative reviews, but they are extremely rare and are associated with the individual intolerance of the components of this food in a particular pet.
