Cat food GO!

All pet owners know that the health of their pets is directly related to the quality of food. When choosing ready-made rations, good caring owners take into account not only the financial component of the issue, but also the impact of the food on the life and activity of the four-legged friend. Of course, holistic products are expensive. However, the manufacturers of such products offer a balanced, nutritious diet that provides the body with all the necessary macro- and micronutrients to maintain your pet's well-being and longevity.

Cat food manufacturer GO! is a Canadian enterprise PETCUREAN Pet Nutrition. This company appeared relatively recently - only in 1999, but during two decades of its work it managed to establish itself as a manufacturer of high-quality food for cats and dogs.

The formula was developed with the participation of veterinarians, livestock specialists and leading nutritionists. The products offered are super premium and holistic. In addition to GO !, the company offers several other types of pet food:

• Now Fresh - grain-free product for kittens and adult cats;
• SUMMIT Holistic - premium ration for animals of different breeds and ages;
• Gather organic - feed made with organic ingredients.

PETCUREAN Pet Nutrition declares that its food can be used in both adult cats and young animals. This position is explained by the fact that under natural conditions food for predators of different ages is not separated in any way, only the dosages differ. This means that the same type of food is consistent with the very nature of predatory cats.

The composition of the product includes a large amount of meat-containing components of natural origin. The food is enriched with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, includes useful bioactive additives necessary to maintain the health of pets: biotin, taurine, vitamin and mineral complexes, probiotics and antioxidants.

Cat food GO! does not contain cereals. This is what distinguishes the products of this brand from the economy class rations, in which a large amount is accounted for by wheat and corn. These products are carbohydrates, they are poorly absorbed by the animal's body. With their increased content in feed, the pet will receive less proteins and lipids, which it needs for full growth and development. As a result, the health and well-being of the cat will suffer.

All protein in GO! is of exclusively animal origin. It is obtained from lamb, turkey, chicken or duck meat. Bone meal is added as an additional component. Some products contain fishmeal and salmon oil, but in minimal dosages so as not to harm the health of the mustache fluffy.

Lipids are very important for a pet. To be as useful as possible, they must be of animal origin. GO! they are represented by chicken or fish oil. This supplement contains taurine and omega-3 acid, which improves brain function, normalizes gastrointestinal tract activity and improves immunity.

Cat food GO! differs from many others in the introduction into the composition of vegetables, fruits, berries and even herbs. They supply the body with useful vitamins and minerals. For example:

• Alfalfa helps cleanse the kidneys and reduces the risk of allergies in the animal;
• cranberries will be a good prevention of kidney stones and cystitis;
• carrots help to normalize cholesterol and blood sugar levels;
• apple is a rich source of pectin, improves intestinal motility, promotes the formation of feces.

The food contains peas, sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, blueberries and other healthy plant foods, depending on the category of feed. Another interesting addition is condiments and spices. Most often, rosemary is included in the diet, it improves the pet's breath and speeds up the metabolism.

Some feeds contain tomato pulp, this component is used as a natural flavor enhancer. In addition, it eliminates the problem of hairball formation in the esophagus and stomach of cats. Under the influence of the pulp, the hairs that have entered the digestive tract do not clump, but are excreted naturally. Tomato is a rich source of vitamins of group A, which means that it improves the condition of the animal's eyes, makes the coat smooth and silky and relieves skin irritations.

Experts call yucca shidigera one of the most important components in the product. Naturally, this plant is found in the southwestern United States in the desert zones. Yucca is rich in magnesium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, as well as beta-carotene, niacin and vitamins. The addition of this additive helps to eliminate the unpleasant smell of pet excrement. This is a completely natural component, so it does not have a negative impact on the digestive tract.

A large proportion of the product is accounted for by prebiotics and probiotics. These substances support the full functioning of the digestive system of cats and cats. The diet includes lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.These components improve the intestinal microflora, promote better digestion of food and increase the immunity of the animal. There are several advantages of the product.
