Review of food for cats and cats "Nasha Marka"

Connoisseurs of domestic products, choosing food for a cat, often turn their attention to the products of "Our Mark". The main advantages of the products of this brand are called low cost and fairly good composition.

The manufacturer of the domestic brand “Our Mark” cat food is the Gatchina feed mill. A company with a rich history today supplies the market not only with food for the most popular pets, but also food for dogs, fish and even farm animals. Dry food for cats appeared among the company's offers in 2006, and wet food appeared 7 years later. One of the main advantages of Nasha Marka products is the use of innovative technologies. The work process, carried out in accordance with international standards on Danish equipment, is carried out under the supervision of qualified veterinarians and nutritionists.

The undoubted advantage of cat food is its moderate cost, on average from 160 to 200 rubles per kilogram of dry mix, which is 2 or 3 times cheaper than many analogues. Balanced, and most importantly, safe composition based on fresh raw materials has all the components necessary for the health of the animal, including vitamins, amino acids and mineral elements. Among them, GMOs, soybeans and artificial colors cannot be found, that is, those substances that can cause irreparable harm to the health of an animal.Most cats will happily absorb the flavors on offer without suffering from digestive upset, allergic reactions or other health problems.

Among the disadvantages, some users cite not too large assortment. For example, among dry mixes, there is only one variety for kittens, and one for spayed animals. The brand does not generally supply pet treats, dietary or medicinal formulations. However, there is still a choice of various tastes for a pet. Studies have shown that the percentage of fat stated on the packaging was not true. And also in the food there was very little arachidonic acid, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the feline body.

The proportion of meat and fish in feline treats does not meet the needs of the feline. It should be mentioned that all products contain corn, which is not only easy to digest, but also contributes to the development of diabetes, indigestion and even obesity. Corn protein extract has no nutritional value.

Quite controversial is the point to which class “Our Mark” nevertheless belongs. The manufacturer refers to it as premium, but many buyers believe that this is still an economy.

Despite the fact that the assortment of "Our Mark" is not so extensive, it manages to pick up a treat for any, even the most fastidious creature.

One of the best offers of the domestic brand is food for fastidious pets with salmon and rice. Fish and processed products, as well as rice, play a key role in the composition of the mixture. The presence of taurine helps to maintain eye health and keen vision in pets, and 2.5% fiber ensures smooth functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the composition contains such components as corn and gluten derived from it, bird meal, hydrolyzed liver, vegetable oil, numerous useful additives and antioxidants. The calorie content of 100 grams of the substance is 360 kilocalories.

For neutered cats and neutered cats there is a special treat, from the meat components in which only hydrolyzed liver is present. Otherwise, it completely repeats the "composition" of the previous variation. The balanced composition, enriched with 28% protein, helps to maintain the health of the urinary system.

Hypoallergenic food based on rice and lamb is of particular interest. In this case, lamb liver and, accordingly, rice are added to the basic components. Designed for pets over 7 years of age, the mix has a reduced phosphorus content, which contributes to the health of the renal system. The presence of glucosamine is responsible for the functioning of the joints and the maintenance of their mobility.

Versatile dry food for adult cats includes varieties with rabbit and liver, beef and vegetables, as well as chicken and rice. Products for mature pets are presented on the market in several formats: packages weighing 400 grams, 2, 10 and 15 kilograms. The feed is introduced gradually over a period of almost a week.

Dry food suitable for kittens is available in only one variation: with chicken and rice... You can purchase packaging of different weight categories: equal to 2, 10 or 15 kg, as well as 400 grams. The composition of the cat food is based on corn and corn gluten, bird meal and rice. The list of ingredients also includes hydrolyzed liver, bagasse and brewer's yeast.Components such as vegetable oil, mineral supplements and vitamins are basic for all products of Our Mark.

The presence of 1.1% calcium and 1% phosphorus helps to strengthen the teeth and bones of the animal. The daily feeding rate is determined depending on the age of the pet and varies from 50 to 90 grams.

Liquid canned food for cats, also known as pouches, is sold in 100-gram packs, which cost about 25 rubles. You can buy a product for an adult animal with chicken, in which white meat accounts for about 20% of the total volume. Among the components, it is also possible to find naturally occurring protein, animal products, natural fiber, mineral supplements and a probiotic. The advantage is the presence of sunflower oil and a variety of vitamins, including vitamin E and taurine.

If you study the entire line of wet canned food for adult cats, it becomes clear that only the main ingredient changes in their composition. The lamb-flavored variety uses 15% chicken and 4% lamb meat, in fish feed chicken, again, accounts for 15%, and fish and fish products only 4%, and rabbit-flavored spiders add to the same amount of base poultry meat 4% rabbit meat. "Assorted Meat" combines 12% chicken, 4% beef and the same amount of lamb. In canned liver, the base white meat is supplemented with 4% liver.

In addition to mono-spiders, mixtures are also offered for animals in their prime. In the assortment of "Our Mark" it is possible to find a mixture of liver, chicken and vegetables, mainly: 4% carrots, a mix of chicken, rice and eggs (15% chicken, 4% eggs), a combination of lamb with vegetables, as well as beef with liver and carrots ... Wet canned food weighing 100 grams has an energy value of 75 kilocalories. The manufacturer recommends feeding an adult cat 3-4 similar packages. As for the spiders for kittens, their composition looks the usual way, but the amount of chicken increases to 22-25%, and the calorie content of a one-hundred-gram package increases to 79 kilocalories.

There are only three varieties of pates in the assortment of Our Mark, and all of them are intended for adult cats. Rabbit liver and rice flavored canned food consists of meat and animal products, with about 4% of the liver, plant ingredients, including 4% rice, sunflower oil, thickener and beneficial additives. On the day, the cat is allowed to absorb from 1.5 to 2.5 jars weighing 110 grams. The variety with turkey and carrots has a similar composition, only one meat is replaced by another, and the vegetable becomes a replacement for cereals. In addition, the "Seafood cocktail with vegetables" is also offered to pamper your pet.

Reviews regarding the cat food "Our Brand" are not unambiguous. Experts note that the stated composition does not correspond to the premium brand, plus its cost looks too low. Buyer responses are more loyal. It is noted that animals consume a variety of flavors of both dry mixes and liquid canned food with great pleasure, and then do not suffer from frequent trips to the toilet, or from vomiting, or from increased gas production. Many people like the composition, which, although not premium, is at least devoid of all kinds of chemistry.The affordable price also attracts many consumers.
