Feed manufacturers adhere to the BOF principle. All products are created based on the norms of consumption and characteristics of animal breeds. Essential Foods is a holistic food.

Essential Foods pellets contain a large percentage of animal meat. The meat is dehydrated at the lowest temperature for this operation, which allows you to preserve most of the beneficial elements for your pet.

To consider the composition, take as an example Estate Living. This product is intended for adult dogs of all breeds. The composition in English is located on the back wall of the package. We have translated it into Russian. It includes the following ingredients: fresh venison and lamb, carrots, dehydrated venison and chicken, lamb fat, potatoes, vitamin complex, whole egg, minerals, FOS, alfalfa sprouts, ginseng roots and flowers, mulberry, apple, spinach, chondroitin, calendula , ginger, cauliflower, tomatoes, prunes, pear, acaya, orange, cranberry, blueberry, green tea, seaweed, methylsulfonylmethane, MOS, flaxseed, peas, sweet potatoes.

In addition to the main list of ingredients, the granules contain: Vitamin A (15000 IU), D3 (2000 IU), zinc (233 mg), iron (333 mg), iodine (1.5 mg), taurine (1500 mg), copper (15 mg), manganese (233 mg) , selenium (0.67 mg). Values ​​in brackets are based on 1 kg of feed.

Each batch is tested at the factory. The feed analysis can be viewed from the back of the package, last paragraph.

Based on the presented analysis, you can understand the nutritional value of the feed.The analysis text is printed in the manufacturer's language. We carry out translation.

The line of food includes products suitable for feeding adult cats and cats, for kittens and neutered pets. For our pets, the manufacturer produces food called Essential the Jaguar. This line has one drawback: the food is supplied according to only one formula, that is, for all breeds and ages. And also in the composition there is salmon, but it so happens that some cats do not eat fish since childhood under any circumstances. This must be borne in mind when making a purchase.

A wide range of dry feeds is presented for both small and large breeds. Manufacturers recommend starting puppy feeding with The BEGINNING - this line of food is designed to feed puppies at three weeks of age. Before serving, you need to soak the granules in liquid, do not forget that a new type of food should be introduced gradually. After the puppies have grown up, they should be transferred to dry food.

Based on the fact that this animal food product appeared on the shelves of pet stores quite recently, there are relatively few reviews of Essential food from our compatriots. But we managed to find a few to form a general opinion.

Pet owners pay attention primarily to the quality of the feed, especially its smell. There is a smell of cured dried meat, and not crackers for beer, as is usually the case with a typical feed of the middle price category.

In dogs and cats, stools return to normal, and lacrimation is absent in animals with allergies. The coat is shiny. Appetite does not decrease even in hot weather, the animal eats food with pleasure.

And there are also disadvantages that affect the choice of the brand of feed. Today it is difficult to make a purchase of food in pet stores in the Russian Federation, only on order from an official supplier in Russia. Many people don't like the lack of a zip fastener on 12-15 kg bags. Of the minuses, that's all. Basically a pretty positive picture, according to the reviews found.
