Features of PERFECT FIT feed

The question of choosing the best option for pet food is faced by each owner. It is no secret that the health of human four-legged friends and their life expectancy will directly depend on this. Now in the corresponding segment of the market for pet products, there is more than a wide range of products from many manufacturers. Given such a wide selection, it is worth paying attention to the features of Perfect Fit feed and, of course, their key advantages and disadvantages.

Many breeders, when choosing rations for their pets, first of all pay attention to the country of origin and the brand. Perfect Fit is produced by the renowned company Mars, headquartered in Virginia. At the same time, manufacturing plants operate all over the world. It is worth noting that the same company manufactures products of the Whiskas brand.

Analyzing the key characteristics of feed and trying to determine which class the products of this company belong to, it is important to note that they do not contain natural meat. It contains dehydrated protein from various poultry (chicken in this case accounts for 31%).

In general, the composition of the described products is as follows:

• meat and bone meal;
• corn;
• wheat;
• protein concentrate;
• animal fat;
• yeast;
• sunflower oil;
• minerals and vitamin complexes;
• yucca extract;
• beet pulp (dried).

First of all, it is worth highlighting the clear advantages of the range of products of the described brand, which include the following factors.

1. Maximum availability. At the moment, products of all lines can be easily purchased not only in specialized stores. Pet owners can do this in almost any supermarket, as well as on online sites.
2. The presence of a full complex of vitamins and minerals... Thanks to such components, the needs of the body of cats and dogs of different ages for everything necessary are provided.
3. Competitive cost.
4. Sufficiently wide selection of both dry and wet rations, focused on different categories of animals.
5. Ease of use and storage... The products have a dense, high-quality packaging and very convenient fasteners that exclude the penetration of air, which in itself prevents premature deterioration of the product.

Of course, there are no less significant disadvantages.

1. The main disadvantage is the replacement of meat with protein and flour in the composition of feed. The raw materials for such ingredients are production leftovers, which, even theoretically, cannot become an alternative to meat and offal.
2. The composition contains a sufficient amount of vegetable protein... In this case, it should be borne in mind that by their nature, cats and dogs are still predators. Therefore, they need animal protein, which is due, among other things, to the structure of the stomach, intestines, as well as the shape of the teeth and the characteristics of the enzyme system. An insufficient amount of amino acids in vegetable protein provokes a corresponding deficiency.
3. Corn is one of the strongest allergens without any nutritional value.... At the same time, the yeast present in the composition is capable of provoking flatulence.
4. The content of animal protein is not specified.
5. There is no information on the use of preservatives and antioxidants in the production of feed... It is important to remember here that synthetic components can cause the development of a whole list of pathologies: from gastrointestinal disorders to urolithiasis.

It is important to note that all products are positioned by the manufacturer as a professional system focused on ensuring the good health of cats. Pets, thanks to high-quality diets, become as active as possible. At the same time, the emphasis is on the formula "5 terms of health". The brand's feeds currently on the market are divided into 8 types.

• Junior - rations for very small kittens and teenage cats up to six months. During this period, the animal's body requires special nutrition, providing a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. This line of feed is produced in the form of small granules. This approach has a beneficial effect on the development and strengthening of the gums and teeth of babies.

• Active - food for the most active cats and cats. This diet was developed so that adults can always maintain appropriate physical shape. The formula contains such important components as vitamins of groups A and B, as well as mineral complexes.

• Sensitive - a dietary diet for cats, which will be the best option for animals suffering from allergies, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as liver and kidney pathologies. These foods are well suited for pets who, for one reason or another, are on a diet.

• In-home - nutritional complexes for adult pets. We are talking about food designed for cats that do not go out and are not very active. It's no secret that such a lifestyle will sooner or later lead to obesity.It is to prevent such consequences that a special diet has been created that ensures the normalization of metabolism. The food in this series is distinguished by the content of Omega acids and biotin. In addition, it contains yucca extract, which eliminates the unpleasant odor of excrement. The developers have not forgotten about fiber, which promotes the elimination of hairballs.

• Sterile - a series of dry and wet diets for neutered cats and neutered cats. The main feature is the presence of components responsible for the rapid normalization of the animal's weight and metabolism.

• Senior - rations for elderly pets (from 8 years old), which require special handling. In such situations, proper nutrition will be one of the key points. At the same time, the latter should no longer be so rich in vitamins and minerals necessary for adolescent cats. The main distinguishing feature of the Senior line is its saturation with antioxidants, taurine (normalization of the heart muscle) and glucosamine (strengthening of bones and joints).

• Hair & Beauty - food that provides animals with a beautiful appearance and good condition of the coat. This series will be relevant mainly for long-haired pets.

• In-form - balanced diets to keep the build of cats and cats normal.

For kittens up to 6 months old, a complex of the Jonior series with chicken has been specially developed. This food contains enough nutrients, minerals and vitamins that a young body needs. For adults, there are two types of dry food of the Adult line: with beef and chicken. With age, the needs of the body change significantly. With this in mind, the manufacturer presents the Perfect Fit Senior complex in its assortment.

The Sensitive line includes dry food with turkey and salmon. These variants have been specially developed for animals with digestive problems. For cat owners who care about the shine of their coat and the health of their pets' skin, the Hair & Skin series is turkey-based. For pets that never leave the owner's home, In-home with chicken is the best option.

Special attention is paid to complexes for neutered and neutered animals. They are the main focus of Sterile beef and chicken food.

Wet food in soft pouches called spiders, 85 grams Junior series chicken stew is made for kittens. The Adult Meals are a good choice for adults with beef or chicken in gravy. Sensitive Salmon or Turkey Stew is targeted at animals with a sensitive digestive system.

Hair & Skin turkey stew is a complex created according to special recipes... In this case, the formula helps to improve the condition of the cat's coat and skin. For sterilized and neutered individuals, the Sterile range is intended for wet food. The Perfect Fit range features beef, chicken and rabbit options in nutritious sauces.

One of the features of this product range of the brand in question is that it is presented in only four varieties, namely feed for:

• puppies no older than a year with a weight of 10 kg;
• pets from one year of age and with a similar weight;
• young animals up to a year with a mass of not more than the specified indicator;
• adults weighing 10 kg or more.

Small animals require efficient energy replenishment, taking into account increased activity and corresponding acceleration of metabolism.In the process of growth, the need for nutrients and, of course, calories increases many times over. That is why in the line of the described brand there is a product focused on puppies of small and dwarf breeds. The main benefits of this diet include:

• providing favorable conditions for proper growth (we are talking about the optimal amount of phosphorus and calcium);
• a positive effect on the functioning of the brain, due to the presence of acids from the Omega-3 category in the formula;
• small size of pads.

For toddlers of medium and large breeds, foods are developed according to the same principles as for their small counterparts. The emphasis is on stimulating proper skeletal formation and brain function in animals.

It is no secret that in the overwhelming majority of cases, representatives of small and dwarf dog breeds, growing up, remain the same mobile. This, in turn, necessitates a balanced diet. When developing diets for these miniature, but already adult pets, the following most important points were taken into account.

• The determining role of the health of all organs of the urinary systemas well as its correct functioning. In this case, attention is focused on the balance of minerals.
• The need for effective recovery of energy reserves and maintaining the tone of the body of small dogs. B vitamins and iron are responsible for the activity of the animal.
• Granule size. It should be optimal for the size of the dogs that feed the diet.

In situations with adults of medium and large breeds, the key factor is the increased load on the animal's musculoskeletal system. Taking into account such dimensions, the feed of this series was created, which are characterized by the following advantages:

• timely and complete muscle development, provided by protein;
• joint health, as well as ligament and cartilage health, guaranteed by the addition of an additional source of glucosamine to the formula;
• providing conditions for maintaining maximum mobility of the dog, thanks to the presence of iron and B vitamins.

Nowadays, you can easily find a sufficient number of reviews of the Perfect Fit brand. At the same time, such comments from both dog and cat owners and specialists are ambiguous. So, for example, veterinarians in their reviews focus on the following important points.

1. The introduction of cheap feed into the diet in the overwhelming majority of cases leads to extremely negative consequences for the health of the animal. Experts record a huge number of calls to them precisely because of the negative reactions of the body to improper nutrition. In this context, many characterize Perfect Fit as a good value for money.
2. Taking into account all the features of the feed of this brand they can be called far from the worst offer on the modern market.
3. Naturally, the best solution would be to opt for feed based on the maximum amount of natural ingredients... However, such diets may not be affordable for every pet owner. In such situations, you can consider the products of this manufacturer as an alternative to more expensive options. However, the selection of the diet should be individual in each case.
4. Before purchasing and even more so introducing Perfect Fit feeds into the pet's diet, it is strongly recommended study in detail all information about the composition... It will also be useful to pay attention to the comments of specialists and experienced breeders, and a consultation with a veterinarian will not hurt.
