Features and overview of Karmy feed

Any dog ​​or cat owner wants his pet to live a long and healthy life. That is why it is so important to choose the right balanced diet. Today we will talk in more detail about the Karmy brand feed.

Country of origin of Karmy rations - Russia. In terms of its composition and quality of raw materials, the product can be attributed to the premium segment. But since local raw materials are used to create the ration, the manufacturer gets the opportunity to keep prices at an affordable level. The cost of ready-made feeds of this brand compares favorably with the prices of imported analogs of a similar composition.

When developing the formulation, zootechnicians and nutritionists proceeded from the fact that animal proteins should form the basis of the diet for pets. They are more common to predators. However, do not forget that no type of meat contains sufficient amino acids for the full growth and development of a pet. That is why the diet is additionally enriched with other protein components: protein hydrolyzate or vegetable protein. In addition, the product contains a rich vitamin and mineral complex.

Let's take a closer look at the composition of Karmy rations. The main share is accounted for by dehydrated meat. It is obtained by drying raw materials, as a result of which excess moisture is removed, but at the same time the product retains all nutrient micro and macro elements. Simply put, it is a pure concentrate of protein and nutrients. The assortment line includes the following products.

Karmy is the brand name for wet and dry cat food. The choice of a particular type of diet depends on the pet's taste preferences and the characteristics of caring for him. So, dry pellets are optimal for busy breeders who spend most of their time at work. After opening the package, the product retains its freshness and usefulness for a long time. The use of dry food is beneficial for the condition of the animal's teeth: in the process of gnawing the granules, plaque is removed and dental tissue is strengthened.

Wet food contains more water, so the need for supplementing the animal is significantly reduced. After opening the package, such a product can be stored for no longer than 1.5 hours. Then it winds up and begins to deteriorate, respectively, its nutritional value decreases.
