Chappi feed review

Novice dog breeders do not always know how to properly feed their four-legged friend - in this case, ready-made food can come to the rescue. Through advertising, we know about the existence of Chappi dog food, the manufacturer claims that it is distinguished by exceptional nutritional value and high quality, contains everything necessary for a complete nutrition of the animal. Is this so - we will figure it out in our article.

Chappi is one of the most common brands of ready-to-eat dog food. Product refers to economy class. The manufacturer offers it in the form of wet pates and dry granules. The line is recommended for the daily diet of pets of different ages and breeds. The composition is balanced, optimal for feeding dogs without health problems.

The Chappi product is manufactured by the American company Mars. This company was founded more than 100 years ago - in 1911 and today is one of the world's largest manufacturers of products for animals. The corporation produces a product under several brands - Chappi, Royal-canin, Pedigree and Whiskas. The company's production facilities are located all over the world, so the quality of the finished feed largely depends on the country where it is produced.

The assortment line of products is small. The trademark produces a product for adult animals of large and medium sizes, as well as a universal product for dogs of all ages.

The composition of the feed was developed in cooperation with veterinarians and zootechnologists so as not to cause allergic reactions and problems with the gastrointestinal tract in the dog. Meals include the following ingredients:

• beef, chicken and their offal;
• cereals - rice, less often oats are used;
• dried vegetables - carrots and potatoes;
• herbs - chamomile, alfalfa, basil, or nettle;
• vegetable proteins;
• oily vitamins A, B, C and D.

The benefits of the product include:

• availability - you can buy food at every pet store and chain retail outlets;
• low price;
• variety of main ingredients;
• rich gustatory palette;
• lack of allergens;
• high in fiber, which improves the digestion of the animal.

The main disadvantage of users is the hidden information about the composition of the product. The information on the package does not give a clear answer to the question of what components and in what concentration are present in the feed. So, the main component is cereals, they are a rich source of carbohydrates. However, manufacturers do not indicate either their share or origin. And if the animal's body copes with rice and oats, then millet and corn will create a serious load on the pet's digestive tract.

Meat and offal are in the second position, they supply the animal's body with protein. But again, the manufacturer does not indicate which products he uses and in what percentage.

In general, the list of the main components of the feed corresponds to all economy class products. They always contain general wording, without any specifics. The only figure indicates the protein content - 18%. However, here, too, there is no clarification about the origin of these proteins. It is possible that in order to reduce the cost of the product, most of it is represented by plants, while for full development, pets need animal products.

Other disadvantages include:

• low concentration of useful micro- and macroelements, lack of vitamins;
• the presence of chemicals and preservatives;
• low in protein and fat;
• specific flavor due to the inclusion of brewer's yeast and herbs;
• the lack of food for sick, weakened pets, as well as pregnant and lactating dogs in the line.

Chappi dry food is a granule and is sold in hermetically sealed packs. In terms of its composition, such food for dogs is almost the same as canned food. However, veterinarians say that dry pellets are less absorbed by the pet's body than wet foods.

Important! There must be a container of water next to the dog's bowl where dry food is poured.... The animal must have unhindered access to it. The fluid helps the dog's body to maintain an optimal water-salt balance.

The feed is produced in packages from 600 g to 15 kg, includes protein, carbohydrate and fat components. Additionally enriched with a mineral complex. The assortment line includes two types of feed.

Dry food in the form of medium crackers. Suitable for adult animals of all breeds. The composition includes cereals, meat and products of its processing, vegetable oil, dry carrots and alfalfa. The protein content is 18% - this is enough to maintain the muscle mass of an active animal.

Plenty of meat with vegetables and herbs, balanced feed composition, suitable for the diet of adult dogs and puppies. Includes cereals, meats, natural carrot fiber, and alfalfa. To maintain the work of the musculoskeletal system, minerals and vitamins are added to the composition. The granules have a dense structure, which prevents the formation of tartar.

Among all varieties of ready-made feeds of the Chappi brand wet products are considered the most useful. It differs from dry in that it consists of 75% liquid. This product is offered in packs weighing 100 g and is designed for a single dose. For dogs of large breeds, packs of 400 g are offered.

Inside are nourishing pieces in a jelly-like meat broth. The manufacturer assures that wet food is well absorbed by the dog's body and is suitable for animals of large and small breeds, which indicates the versatility of the product. The difference lies only in the dosage of consumption per day.

Chappi is offered as a pate for feeding puppies and pets of small breeds. This food can be used for large animals, but as a treat. It is not recommended for a daily diet.

These canned food is made from natural products without flavor enhancers, aromas and synthetic additives. Outwardly, they resemble small pieces of meat with a pleasant aroma for the animal. Consist of beef with added chicken and meat offal. One package contains 6 g of protein. To improve metabolism, selenium is found in the composition.

Healthy and nutritious pate suitable for small animals. Its main component is cereals, meat by-products and vitamins.... The product does not contain GMOs and artificial flavors, which is especially important for the health of the four-legged friend. The calorie content corresponds to the basic physiological needs of an active dog. Regular consumption of such a product prevents the obesity of the animal.

Balanced, low calorie liquid food, ideal for dogs with beef and fish allergies. The composition includes chicken meat, as well as cereals with the addition of a complex of useful vitamins. In the production process, no chemical additives, flavors or flavor enhancers are used. The pate is easily absorbed by the animal's body, provides a daily dose of all micro- and macroelements necessary for full growth and development.

It should be noted that There are no direct reviews from veterinarians about the quality of Chappi feeds on the Internet. However, given the ambiguity of the composition of the product, it is unlikely that a good specialist will recommend these foods for inclusion in the constant diet of a four-legged friend. This is an economy class product, so you should not expect any improvement in your pet's health and appearance from it.

Nevertheless, users note that it still contains protein components, a small percentage of meat and fiber, which are important for the daily diet of the dog. Pet owners note that compared to competitors in a similar price category, Chappi is a good food. It can be used to feed healthy young dogs with no digestive or endocrine disorders.

Eating Chappi, like any other cheap product, will not harm the animal. But it won't do much good either. Therefore, its use is allowed as a temporary measure, when there is no other food at hand or alternation with natural products is required.
