Variety of feeds SAVARRA

SAVARRA brand food appeared on the shelves of pet stores relatively recently, so they have not yet gained universal fame. In fact, the feed can be classified as domestic. Country of origin England, but ordered by a Russian manufacturer. Many do not trust the new product, only in this case the fears are unfounded: the feed is characterized by good quality and balanced formula. To substantiate this, we will take a closer look at the key parameters of the brand's products.

The assortment is represented by standard and prophylactic diets for dogs of different age and size groups, only there are no therapeutic ones. The cat food line includes foods for the daily diet of kittens and adult cats, as well as foods for cats with specific characteristics.

Consumers of SAVARRA food are known for the fact that the composition contains only one type of meat - lamb, duck or turkey. This makes it possible to use feed for animals suffering from an allergic reaction to a certain type of meat. Since chicken and its eggs, as well as beef, are allergenic foods, they are completely excluded from this brand's product mix. Rice is used as the main "supplier" of carbohydrates in SAVARRA feed.

The pluses of feed include:

• dominance of animal protein in the recipe, the bulk of which is taken from fresh meat;
• the absence of components contraindicated for felines, such as soy, wheat, corn and others;
• rich in multivitamins composition;
• exclusively natural additives - rosemary and tocopherols, dehydrated poultry and animal meat;

The shortcomings include:

• a relatively high price for products;
• lack of information on the percentage of constituents on the package;
• the presence in the recipe of a large amount of carbohydrates, including brown (brown) rice, which is difficult for the cat to digest;
• a very modest assortment of product (for cats there are only a few types of dry food);
• according to studies of the Russian quality system, the poisonous substance cypermethrin (contact-intestinal insecticide) is present in very small quantities in the feed, the amount of hydroperoxides and peroxides is increased, which can provoke rancidity before the expiration date, an excess of phosphorus and calcium is detected in the feed.

The SAVARRA assortment set includes 7 dry food recipes for dogs, as well as 3 wet food recipes. This small number of positions allows for adequate nutrition for exceptionally healthy dogs with normal physical activity. The food is sold in packs of 1, 3, 12 and 18 kg, all packages are equipped with zip fasteners.

The composition of all types of SAVARRA feed begins with the indication of the meat component. It should be noted that meat (fresh and dried) was taken as the basis, and not processed products or products of obscure origin. The company's technologists have opted for two types - lamb and turkey - as especially tender and dietary types of meat. All SAVARRA products are based on them.

Consider the composition.

1. The concentration of the meat component is in the range of 70-80% based on the diet. The total protein level is 28-30%. It is not often that both super-premium and holistic-class feeds can boast of such characteristics.
2. The second on the list is always brown rice. This is a carbohydrate source approved by all veterinarians without exception. It does not cause allergies, but it does provide the required nutritional value and has a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract function of dogs. In addition to rice, the recipe contains cereals - oats and barley.
3. Suppliers of fatty acids and fats are salmon oil, turkey fat and flaxseed. Fat concentration in feed is 15-17%. This is the golden mean, because you don't have to worry about the condition of the animal's hair.
4. In addition, the structure contains various vitamins (A, E, D3), vegetables (carrots, tomatoes), plant concentrates (chamomile, chicory), herbs (parsley, spinach) and food additives (green-lipped mussels, algae).

The structure of the SAVARRA food is amazing - a huge amount of all kinds of elements actually make the dog's nutrition complete. The quality of the ingredients is also surprising. There are no allergens (chicken, wheat, corn), as well as flavors and preservatives.

For these dogs SAVARRA produces the following variants:

• for small breeds (base - duck and rice);

• for giant dogs (lamb and rice).

Two varieties of pet food for any breed:

• turkey and rice;

• lamb and rice.

There are 2 types of food for them:

• for any breed (turkey and rice);

• for large puppies (lamb and rice).

Both feeds are focused on the correct formation of small pets.

There are 8 SAVARRA formulations for cats.

• For kittens containing turkey and rice.

• For mature cats with sensitive digestion (lamb and rice).

• For those who are overweight (turkey and rice).

• For indoor adult cats (duck and rice).

• Food with control of the formation of hairballs in the stomach for mature cats (duck and rice).

• Regular food for mature cats (lamb and rice).

• For large cats.

• For neutered cats.

The entire selection of diets has zero allergenicity.

By and large, the compositions of the diets are similar and differ only in the types of meat and the list of preventive additives, therefore, it will be enough to analyze one sample. As an example, we have given preference to food for kittens. As a rule, it is considered the highest quality in the line, since kittens require more nutrients and the most natural sources of essential nutrients.

The structure of SAVARRA Kitten is as follows:

• fresh turkey meat;
• dried turkey meat;
• Brown rice;
• rice;
• oats;
• turkey fat;
• brewing yeast;
• peas;
• flax-seed;
• natural flavor;
• salmon oil;
• vitamin A;
• vitamin D3;
• vitamin E;
• chelated zinc;
• chelated iron;
• chelated manganese;
• chelated copper;
• alpha-amino-gamma-methylthiobutyric acid;
• taurine;
• Yucca Mojave (Spanish dagger);
• Apple;
• carrot;
• tomatoes;
• seaweed;
• cranberry;
• blueberry.

The consumer can only guess about the true state of affairs, since the recipe contains a lot of both cereal and meat components. Fresh meat comes first, but its volume is significantly reduced after heat treatment. In general, there are more herbal ingredients as the manufacturer adds many different varieties: oats, brown rice, rice, and so on. In all likelihood, meat in the diet is approximately 35-40%, and cereals - 45-50%. Compared to other feeds, this is a decent result. Not outstanding, but not the worst either.

It is attractive that the manufacturer uses pure meat without food additives. Few companies have the ability to boast of this. In the most favorable scenario, companies add whole carcasses without offal, in the worst case - a mash of incomprehensible processed products. Cats are excellent at absorbing nutrients from the muscles. From the rest of the parts they receive significantly less essential nutrients, which can result in a lack of amino carboxylic acids. With SAVARRA diets, you don't have to worry about this. If you look at it from a different angle, the manufacturer does add taurine to the diet, which to some extent indicates a lack of meat components. Maybe the company is simply being overly cautious.

There are almost no unknown names in the list of components. If it is yeast, then the manufacturer indicates that it is brewing. The type of meat and the source of fat are specified. There is no exact information only about the origin of the natural flavor, but this may be associated with a secret production. However, of course, it would be nice if the manufacturer did not conceal the composition. The owner of the animal must be aware of what he is getting.

There are preventive supplements in the diet, only there is nothing unusual in the list. Cranberries and blueberries prevent the development of urolithiasis. Carrots, apples and tomatoes improve gastrointestinal motility. Yucca Mojave reduces the odor of feces. The manufacturer includes the main share of useful elements not in the form of individual additives, but together with whole components. For cats, this is more effective, since they better absorb not vitamin and mineral complexes, but fruits, berries and vegetables.
