Features of feed "Scoundrel"
Every year, the market for ready-to-eat food for four-legged pets is supplemented with new domestically produced food. Most of them stand out for their solid packaging, entice them with a low cost, and at first it may seem that they are in no way worse than foreign diets of popular brands. The main difference lies in the recipe and the quality of the raw materials used in any recipe. This publication is dedicated to the review of dry and wet food for cats and dogs of the Prokhvost brand. Reviews about it are so different that it becomes very difficult to understand from the words of the owners of the animals whether this product is good or not.
Advantages and disadvantages
Wet and dry food "Prokhvost" is produced in the Russian Federation at the enterprise "Aller Petfood" LLC (Russian branch of the manufacturer from Denmark - the company Aller Petfood A / S) on the order of "VELKORM". These feeds belong to the economy class.
The advantages of feed include:

low price;

true antioxidants and preservatives mentioned.
Cons of feed "Scoundrel":

a general description of the components of the composition, behind them, as a rule, processed products are hidden;

-
not widespread, not available in all stores.
Cat food overview
"Scoundrel" is made in the form of dry biscuits, moist pieces of meat in bags and canned food in cans.
They also differ in composition and taste. Alas, the exact volume of each ingredient cannot be determined, since the manufacturer does not apply this information to the product packaging.
Wet (liquid) food in bags
Liquid "Scoundrel" is produced in 100-gram packs (elastic strong plastic bags). The composition is as follows:

Note: it is impossible to do without antioxidants and a mold inhibitor in the production of such a meat product.
They prevent oxidation processes, do not allow the meat to spoil. The manufacturer does not deceive, indicating the additives in the recipe - most manufacturers hide such information or do not detail the types of elements.

Assortment of dog food
I must say that the Scoundrel dog food is not represented by the largest assortment. There is only one liquid feed available. Its name is "Scoundrel. With beef in sauce ”. The packaging indicates that the beef in the product is not less than 4%. You should not rely on whole meat pieces in a pack - most likely, these will be small pieces of minced meat. Issued by:
-
in packs of 85 g;
-
cans of 415 g;
-
cans of 850
Dry food is presented in a wider range. Dry "Scoundrel" is packaged in the following packages: 0.5, 2.5, 10, 13, 15 and 20 kg. The differences are only in the proposed diet. There is no special type of food in a package of a specific size. All assortment is equivalent.
Taste types.
-
Meat platter.
-
With Chiken.
-
With beef.
-
With salmon and rice. This food is produced only as "for dogs with sensitive digestion". You can only get this taste in a line of exclusive feeds. The cost will be appropriate.
By type of diet, food varies according to the activity of the dogs.
-
For active people. Produced in every flavor imaginable except for salmon and rice. It has no special characteristics.
-
For dogs with normal physical activity. The most common feed, which is produced with a slightly different percentage of the balance of ingredients. There is no "salmon and rice" taste.
-
For dogs living in cities... Also ordinary food. Differs with the rest of the granule size. There is no "salmon and rice" taste.
-
For lactating bitches and puppies. This feed contains a much higher percentage of vitamins and minerals. The granules are very small, which is natural. By means of probiotics, the absorption of feed is improved, and the balance of elements, as in ProBalance (feed from the premium line of the same manufacturer).
-
For dogs with sensitive digestion... This feed falls out of the general line. Salmon meat is used as a meat product, and rice is used instead of conventional cereals (corn and millet cereals).
Note: the diet for lactating dogs and puppies varies significantly from others. But the comparison of food based on the activity of dogs demonstrated a very interesting fact: the recipe of food is similar.Only the configuration of the croquettes is different. However, this circumstance has not been documented.
In this regard, there is a judgment that the composition of the vitamin supplement (the proportion of the components in it) changes. Again, the manufacturer did not release this information to the public.
