Brit care cat food, reviews and composition overview.
Cats are not just our pets, they are members of the family. We take care of them, and in return they give us their unconditional love. Caring - includes care as well as feeding. How to feed your pet correctly? An increasing number of veterinary doctors recommend using dry food as the main diet for cats. This is due to the prevention of many diseases that cats are exposed to.
How to understand the variety of feeds and buy good food?
Table: Brit Care food range
| Name of food | Type | Average cost (per 1 kg of granules or a can of canned food) | Peculiarities |
| Crazy | Dry | 500 rub. | Dry food for kittens. Contains a relatively high amount of easily digestible protein (38%), which is represented mainly by dried and fresh chicken. The manufacturer enriches diets with salmon oil. This allows kittens to receive enough vitamins, omega-6 and omega-3, which are required for the harmonious development of immunity and the central nervous system. Additionally, the recipe includes prebiotics that help normalize the microflora. |
| Lucky | Dry | 500 rub. | Standard dry food for adult cats. The manufacturer states that sodium hexamethophosphate has been added to the product, which prevents the formation of tartar. Among the benefits of the product is the content of psyllium. This is a source of fiber. Plant fibers remove rotting food debris and fecal stones from the intestinal walls. They also stimulate the movement of feces, but premium and super-premium foods usually have enough fiber without additives. The manufacturer also cites the presence of amino acids as an advantage. This is a perceived benefit because arginine and taurine are found naturally in meat. If there is enough meat in the feed, amino acids are not added separately. In general, this is the most common food that provides the animal’s body with the necessary minimum of nutrients. |
| Tobby | Dry | 500 rub. | Food for large cats. This is a grain-free diet, but the quality does not differ much from its analogues, since grains here replace potatoes and yellow peas. They are also not of particular value for pets and are used as filler to reduce the cost. However, this food can be offered to allergy sufferers. The key feature of this variety is the presence of chondroprotectors: glucosamine and chondroitin. They protect joints from injury due to increased load during movement. Significant disadvantages include the high fat content of the feed (17%) and calorie content (390 kcal per 100 g). Some cats may gain weight on this diet, so monitoring their weight is recommended. |
| Angel | Dry | 500 rub. | Food for elderly pets over 7 years old. Contains relatively little fat (12%), which helps prevent the development of gastrointestinal diseases. The increased concentration of fiber allows you to maintain normal digestion, but in case of hypersensitivity it can cause the appearance of mucus and blood in the stool. The proportion of minerals in the diet is reduced. This prevents the development of urolithiasis. Granules are more porous and easier to chew. Reducing the stress on teeth reduces the risk of tooth loss. For some cats, this consistency is more attractive than the standard consistency. |
| Cocco | Dry | 550 rub. | Dry food for picky cats with sensitive digestion. To prevent the development of allergies and the appearance of abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract, the manufacturer has developed a grain-free recipe. However, potatoes take second place in the list of ingredients, so the nutritional value of the food remains the same. To prevent overload of the gastrointestinal tract, the manufacturer uses salmon and duck as the main source of protein. These are easily digestible meats that help provide the animal’s body with a complete set of amino acids. Additionally, the smell of fish increases the appetite of some cats. It must be taken into account that the composition contains chicken, which can cause an allergy when reacting to bird protein. |
| Monty | Dry | 500 rub. | Food for cats that live at home. The diet has an average calorie content (380 kcal per 100 g), which allows you to maintain normal body weight. Outdoor cats remove hair during physical activity and with the help of rough tree bark. Pets are deprived of this opportunity, so the manufacturer has added additional sources of plant fiber to the composition. They prevent the formation of dense lumps and promote timely hair removal. |
| Cheeky | Dry | 500 rub. | Food for cats that spend most of their time outdoors. The composition is additionally enriched with chondroprotectors to reduce the negative effects of excessive physical activity. The manufacturer adds sodium hexametaphosphate to prevent tartar formation and maintain oral health. The food is high in calories: 100 g of granules contain 420 kcal. The diet is very high in fat (20%), so it is not suitable for all cats. |
| Lilly | Dry | 500 rub. | Food for cats with sensitive digestion. The manufacturer claims that this is a hypoallergenic diet, although in fact this is not the case. The main protein ingredients are dietary meats (salmon and lamb), but the company has additionally included isolated chicken protein. Birds relatively often cause allergies, so their presence is undesirable. There are no grains in the composition, but this is not the only grain-free food in the line. The only advantage of this variety is the presence of milk thistle. It improves the condition of the liver, the load on which increases with increased sensitivity. |
| Sunny | Dry | 500 rub. | Food for improving the condition of coat and skin. The main ingredient is salmon meal. This is a controversial decision. On the one hand, fish contains more tocopherols and omega acids, which help create a protective film, reduce water evaporation and prevent the negative effects of the external environment. On the other hand, the composition does not contain meat, but salmon flour. In reality, these may be bones, fins, scales, offal and other waste that cannot be used in the production of human food. The benefits of such an ingredient are questionable. |
| Daisy | Dry | 500 rub. | Cat food for weight control. The manufacturer increased the proportion of proteins (40%) and reduced the amount of fat (10%) to prevent the appearance of fatty tissue and harmonious muscle growth. The latter help burn energy even at rest, which promotes weight loss. |
| Missy | Dry | 450 rub. | Food for sterilized cats. The diet contains psyllium (a source of fiber) and is low in fat (12%), which helps normalize weight. Additionally, the food maintains an optimal level of urine acidity. The calcium and phosphorus content (0.7% and 0.6% respectively) is very low. On the one hand, this prevents the appearance of stones in the urinary system. On the other hand, such a low concentration is fraught with the occurrence of a deficiency, so it is advisable to get tested periodically. |
| Brit Care Cat Kitten | Wet (canned) | 85 rub. for 80 g | A small line of wet food for kittens. Approximately 50% of the composition is meat, but this is not the best indicator. This also includes water, which is additionally separated into another separate ingredient. In fact, it is a mixture of animal ingredients with rice, cheese and other additives. |
| Brit Care Cat | Wet (canned food and pouches) | 85 rub. for 80 g | Canned food for adult cats is very similar in composition to similar food for kittens, but spiders additionally contain modified starch. It has nothing to do with GMO products and is used to give a thick consistency to sauces. Starch in some cases causes an increase in blood glucose levels, so its presence is undesirable. |

Brit dog food is a high-quality product produced by the Czech company Brit Pet Food. This company specializes in the production of premium pet food, paying special attention to natural and balanced composition.
Brit is designed for both small and large breed dogs. The line of manufactured products is fully designed for the weight of the animal and its age. What are the positive qualities of such nutrition? Why should Brit be included in your pet’s diet? Everything will be discussed in detail below.
Table: Brit Premium food range
| Name of food | Type | average cost | Peculiarities |
| Brit Premium Cat | Wet (pouches and canned food) | 40 rub. per 100 g | The line consists of several varieties. They are not much different, since in most cases the share of the declared type of meat is insignificant: only 8%. Most of the composition is devoted to meat and meat by-products. There are special spiders for kittens and sterilized cats. They differ from ordinary ones in the balance of minerals and vitamins. |
| Kitten | Dry | 300 rub. | Food for kittens. Contains more fat (19%) and calories (410 kcal per 100 g) compared to a standard diet for adult cats. The proportion of vitamins and minerals is also changed, since kittens require useful substances for the correct development of internal organs. |
| Adult | Dry | 300 rub. | A line of food for adult cats, which consists of two types of diets: chicken and fish. The division is conditional, since the last product also contains chicken. |
| Senior | Dry | 300 rub. | Food for older cats with reduced fat content (12%) and reduced mineral concentration. Low calorie content (355 kcal per 100 g) helps maintain optimal body weight. |
| Sterilized | Dry | 300 rub. | Food for sterilized and neutered animals. Contains low fat (12%), calcium (0.9%), phosphorus (0.7%) and magnesium (0.04%). This helps prevent obesity and the development of urolithiasis. |
| Sensitive | Dry | 300 rub. | Food for cats with sensitive digestion. Not the best recipe. While the main protein and carbohydrate ingredients are turkey, rice and lamb, chicken fat and corn are also on the list. The latter ingredients can cause allergies and aggravate the condition of hypersensitive animals. |
| Indoor | Dry | 300 rub. | Food for domestic cats. It has an average calorie content: 365 kcal per 100 g. This helps maintain normal weight despite lack of physical activity. |
| Light | Dry | 300 rub. | Food for overweight cats. The diet is low in fat (11%) and low in calories (355 kcal per 100 g). If you follow daily norms, this helps normalize body weight. |
General information
Veterinary experts advise feeding your pets only the highest quality food.
In our article we offer an overview of a brand that has long been popular in Russia - this is a trademark of the Czech company Vafo Praha, which produces dry and wet animal food, as well as treats and other goods.
Their official website is https://www.brit-petfood.com/.
How does the Brit brand differ from other manufacturers?
The Brit brand has a natural composition, no GMOs, does not use soy and its derivatives, and uses only fresh poultry and fish in its recipe. It has its own production and carries out careful quality control that meets European standards.
The company's products are divided into two classes:
- Brit Premium
- Brit Care – super premium
The main difference between premium products is the smaller amount of meat in the composition, as well as the presence of grains among the food ingredients.
Super-premium products include more useful additives, for example, to prevent tartar or urolithiasis, as well as other components depending on the characteristics of the diet.
The Brit Premium product is a cat food that includes 8 types of dry food and wet bags. They differ in age and individual characteristics (neutered cats, sensitive digestion, overweight).
This type of product includes 6 types of canned food in jars, which can be used as a stand-alone menu or supplemented with dry food.
Table: range of treats and other Brit foods
| Name of food or series | Type | average cost | Peculiarities |
| Brit Fish Dreams Tuna & Squid | Wet (canned) | 60 rub. for 85 g | Additional food for cats. Can be used as a treat. Contains fish, octopus, tapioca and rice. The share of ingredients of animal origin is 90–95%. |
| Brit Care Cat Snack | Dry and semi-soft (dehydrated meat pieces) | 125 rub. for 50 g | The line consists of many varieties of treats. All of them are non-complete and can only be used as a supplement. There are special treats for kittens, maintaining dental health, improving skin condition, and also for removing hairballs. Pieces of the treat are quite hard; many varieties are dried meat. This helps clean the fangs. |

Reviews
Brit food is well known on the Russian market.
Many owners and breeders recommend it to their friends and relatives as a good product at a reasonable price. Many are pleased that they can choose the right product for a pet of any age and breed, which is what they write about in their reviews. Brit cat food, in their opinion, helps maintain the natural beauty and health of small predators. However, in their recommendations, people write that pellets and canned food should be given to animals susceptible to breed diseases with caution and after consultation with a specialist.
Also, some note that the cat is addictive, which causes difficulties in switching it to another food in the future.
One of the owners noticed a deterioration in the pet’s well-being. This may be due to individual intolerance to some components, so advice from a veterinarian will not be superfluous.
Despite different reviews, Brit food is in great demand among consumers and their children. Veterinarians and breeders also advise using it, but whether to buy dry food and canned food or not is up to the owner and his pet to decide.
Composition of Brit feeds, their advantages and disadvantages
To get an objective review, we decided to look separately at food from the Brit Premium and Brit Care lines, and then compare them with each other and understand which series is better. We will evaluate not only pelleted diets, but also wet diets.
Characteristics of Brit Care feed
Brit Care Cat Lucky dry food for adult cats contains the following components:
- dehydrated chicken (22%);
- rice;
- chicken fillet (20%);
- rice bran;
- dehydrated turkey (6%);
- chicken fat (preserved with tocopherols);
- dried apples;
- chicken liver (2%);
- salmon oil;
- Brewer's yeast;
- plantain (200 mg/kg);
- mananooligosaccharides (155 mg/kg);
- fructooligosaccharides (125 mg/kg);
- Yucca Schidigera extract (85 mg/kg);
- sea buckthorn (50 mg/kg).
The first place is occupied by an ingredient of animal origin in an already dehydrated form, which is very commendable. Unfortunately, this is not pure meat without additives. Most likely, the manufacturer uses whole carcasses. The meat is represented by chicken fillet, but after evaporation of water its share is 7–8%. Since rice bran is located after it, there are still more plant components in the feed. Brit Care is classified either as premium or super-premium, but the truth is somewhere in the middle. The latter usually contain more meat, so the line does not reach this indicator, but in terms of quality it is head and shoulders above many representatives of the premium class.
The granules are quite large, so the food is not suitable for all cats due to increased stress on the teeth
Separately, I would like to note that the manufacturer adds enough preventive additives. The list of ingredients includes prebiotics, yucca extract, dried apples, salmon oil, etc. They improve digestion, reduce the unpleasant odor of feces and improve the condition of the coat and skin. From my own experience I can say that the food is well suited for animals with hypersensitivity. After most diets my cat has blood in her stool. We went to the veterinarian and underwent an examination, but did not find the cause. The doctor said that this is an individual reaction to certain foods. After switching to Brit, the situation returned to normal. Of course, the quality of the food is worse than holistic food, but it is what supports normal digestion in my cat.
Brit Care Cat Tuna & Turkey wet food contains the following ingredients:
- tuna (40%);
- turkey (5%);
- rice;
- water.
The composition is very laconic, which is commendable, but canned food is not very nutritious. For example, my cat does not eat even two jars even though I additionally give her dry food. This is most likely due to the increased water content. The liquid is even separated into a separate component. This is normal for spiders, but in the case of canned food I would like to see a higher meat content. In addition, the manufacturer added rice. Most likely, this was done to give the necessary consistency. Although the proportion of grains is small, it would be better if they were not included in the composition at all.
In Brit Care Cat Tuna & Turkey cans you can see some fibers and pieces of meat
Characteristics of Brit Premium feed
Brit Premium Cat Adult Chicken dry food contains the following ingredients:
- chicken (dried chicken 20%, chicken meal 20%);
- rice;
- chicken fat (preserved with tocopherols);
- corn;
- Brewer's yeast;
- chicken liver sauce (4%);
- salmon fish oil (1%);
- dried beet pulp;
- dried dandelion (0.25%);
- prebiotics (mannanoligosaccharides 140 mg/kg, fructooligosaccharides 110 mg/kg);
- Yucca extract (yucca schidigera) (75 mg/kg);
- fruit and herbal extract (rosemary, cloves, citrus, turmeric, 55 mg/kg).
It is commendable that the manufacturer even indicates the weight fraction of the additives. In general, the composition is similar to Brit Care, but instead of chicken fillet, chicken flour is used. This increases the overall proportion of animal ingredients. The manufacturer indicated that the food belongs to the premium class, but in fact it can be compared with some representatives of the super-premium category. The overall picture is spoiled by the presence of corn. It would be better if they replaced it with peas. It is also a useless filler, but not as dangerous as corn. But the company uses natural flavors. For example, chicken liver sauce.
Granules-pads can injure the mucous membranes of the stomach due to hypersensitivity with sharp corners
Despite all the benefits, I cannot unequivocally recommend Brit Premium. It is not suitable for animals with allergies. The most common irritants are chicken and corn. Before switching to Brit Care, I started giving my cat Brit Premium. As a result, the pet developed red spots and the area around the eyes became bald. I had to give up this line, although I liked it better in terms of meat content.
Brit Premium Cat Pouch wet food with chicken contains the following ingredients:
- meat and meat by-products (82%, of which 8% chicken);
- plant protein extracts;
- vegetable by-products (0.4% inulin);
- minerals;
- carbohydrates.
This is a regular premium complete food. The meat content is high at first glance, but in fact most of it is meat by-products. If there were more pure muscle tissue, the manufacturer would definitely divide these ingredients into 2 positions and indicate their percentage. The confusing thing is that out of 82%, only 8% is chicken. A natural question arises: what else does the food contain? Chicken is the cheapest type of meat. If the manufacturer has not indicated the full composition, it means that he is trying to hide something. From personal impressions I can say that the food does not inspire confidence. Before the allergy appeared, I tried giving pouches to my cat, but she vomited some time after eating. I'm guessing this is due to the poor quality of the ingredients.
Externally, Brit Premium Cat Pouch wet food resembles economy class diets: the same pressed pieces that do not look like meat
Which is better: Brit Care or Brit Premium?
It is difficult to definitively answer the question of which line of food is better. Brit Premium dry food contains corn, but it contains more meat. Among wet food, the favorite is the Brit Care series. If your cat is not allergic to grains, it is better to combine Brit Premium dry diets with Brit Care canned food. If undesirable individual reactions occur, you can change the ruler.
Table: what feeds can replace Brit products
| Brand of feed | Class | Composition (first 10 positions) | Price | Conclusion |
| Go! | Holistic |
| 450 rub. | A budget alternative with a good composition. There are a lot of plant ingredients, but there is still more meat. |
| Savarra | Super premium |
| 500–700 rub. | The cost is higher, there are a lot of grains, but there are no allergens in the composition. The food is well suited for cats with sensitive digestion. |
| Organix | Premium |
| 200 rub. | Excellent value for money. For a premium class representative there is a lot of meat in the composition. However, it is not recommended to give food to your cat all the time, because it does not contain enough animal proteins. |
