Some owners do not like the fact that the food is distributed only via the Internet and is not available in regular pet stores. Negative reviews of Grandorf dry food for dogs are associated with this feature.

The food contains an optimal combination of fatty acids, zinc, potassium and phosphorus, as well as a complete absence of grain crops. According to reviews from veterinarians, this product based on sea fish fillet is perfect for animals with a sensitive digestive system and is completely hypoallergenic.

The food contains a large amount of protein and reduced fat content, which helps maintain the required body weight. These Grandorf products are also suitable for older cats, since, due to their low activity, they need food that will provide them with the necessary energy and will not cause weight gain.

Feeding recommendations

The amount of food required for a pet’s daily diet depends on its age and health. It is optimal for the animal to eat twice a day. For adult cats, the manufacturer recommends the following intake rates, divided into two doses (g/day):

• from 1 to 3 kg – 20-45;
• from 3 to 5 kg – 55-65;
• from 5 to 8 kg – 75-95.

When feeding kittens, the daily intake should be divided into 3-4 doses. The nutritional dosage for babies is as follows (g/day):

• up to 3 months – 20-35;
• from 3 to 5 months. – 40-50;
• from 5 to 8 months. – 60-70;
• from 8 months up to 1 year – 75-80.

Important! It is necessary to ensure that your pet always has access to a bowl of clean water!

Reviews from owners about Grandorf products confirm that this dosage is sufficient for the active life of a cat. The food is rich in protein, so the animal is satisfied with a small portion, which provides the body with the necessary nutrients and energy.

Feeding standards

Only the dog owner himself can determine the correct diet after consultation with a veterinarian. But, in accordance with the instructions from the manufacturer, standard portions must be calculated taking into account the weight of the animal. In order not to harm your pet, provide him with constant access to drinking water, do not violate age standards when choosing food (for example, give teenage puppies only Grandorf Junior) and do not mix different types of dry or wet food.

You can increase the norm if you are caring for an underweight dog, as well as if you need to feed a pregnant dog, a working or sports dog, or an animal that constantly lives on the street. When comparing with the serving standards of other companies in the same class, the question arises: “Which dog food is better - Akana or Grandorf?” It is worth more carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Grandorf in order to compare it with its main competitor.
