A properly selected diet is the basis for the health and longevity of your pet. For a cat owner, the primary task is to choose food that is optimal for their pet. Recently, a large number of cat foods have been presented on the market, one of which is Brit. What kind of food is this, what kind does it come in and why is it better than the rest?
Brit is a cat food produced by a small family company in the Czech Republic.
The company's management assures that it produces food for cats only from natural ingredients, which promotes good health and a favorable course of life for pets.
Types of Brit feed
Brit is available in the form of dry food, packaged in special bags and wet food, packaged in 80 or 100 grams in bags or cans.
Brit cat food is available in two classes:
- Brit Care cat
- Brit Premium cat.
The classes differ in price and product composition. The higher class Brit Care cat contains additional vitamin supplements such as sea buckthorn oil, fish and chicken fat.
"Brit premium" for premium cats
“Brit premium” is much cheaper and does not have a variety of protein composition, but is produced exclusively from chicken fillet and its by-products. In addition, it contains an increased percentage of plant components.
Foods in this class contain sufficient amounts of poultry protein at the beginning of the ingredient list. This means that the pet will not be deprived of the necessary proteins for a healthy lifestyle. Corn included in the diet does not provide any benefit to the animal; it is a relatively inexpensive raw material for dilution. A low fat diet is beneficial for cats that have been spayed and neutered.

Advantages and disadvantages
A detailed analysis of the range and composition gives an accurate idea of the pros and cons of Brit food.
Advantages
The main advantage of Brit Premium is the price-quality ratio. The cost of the food is not the highest in the premium segment, but the rich composition is close to the super-premium level.
The following advantages can also be highlighted:
- the food line takes into account the basic differences in the needs of dogs;
- absence of harmful substances;
- Available for purchase at most pet stores.
Flaws
Among the disadvantages are:
- the presence of controversial ingredients such as wheat and corn in most feeds;
- vague formulations of the composition (for example, herbal and fruit extracts are included without further clarification).
Food for sterilized cats
The manufacturer Brit produces several varieties of food for sterilized cats and neutered males. In the Brit Care cat line, dry food is represented by the Missy option, in the second line - Brit Premium Sterilized.
Sterilized contains chicken and grains necessary to maintain the health of your pet after surgery.
Missy dry food contains sea buckthorn oil. This is what prevents diseases of the genitourinary system. In addition, it contains the least amount of magnesium and phosphorus, which are not recommended to be given to animals after sterilization or castration.
Which is better: Brit Care or Brit Premium
Hypoallergenic cat food: which one is better?
Experts cannot say for sure which line is better, because each food has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Brit Premium contains corn, but has more meat. Despite the slightly worse quality of the food, its composition is optimized for the nutrition of domestic animals. Wet food is considered the best from the Brit Care series.
It is best to combine both varieties, for example, Premium dry diet with Brit Care canned food. This food is suitable for cats that are not allergic to grains.
For large breed cats, a product with enlarged granules is available.

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. |

Dry and wet food with chicken, salmon and rice
- Brit Premium dry food for sterilized animals with chicken and rice. The diet is designed specifically for the needs of these animals. It is a prophylactic for the urinary tract.
Review of the Brit Care line
- Brit Care dry food for kittens with chicken and rice. Hypoallergenic diet, also recommended for pregnant and lactating cats. It has a high content of chicken meat (25% dehydrated meat, 22% boneless meat). Vitamin C and prebiotics stimulate the immune system. A balanced complex of minerals has been added to the composition. Proteins in an easily digestible form are important for muscle development. Containing Omega-3 fatty acids in the required dosage promotes brain development.
Delicious and healthy diet for kittens
- Brit Care dry food with duck and salmon for picky cats. Designed for feeding real gourmets. The presence of catnip in the composition gives the pads a wonderful aroma. This diet does not contain grains, so it is recommended for cats with sensitive digestion. As with other Brit Care products, there is a high percentage of natural meat (analysis shows 25% dehydrated duck, 10% dehydrated chicken, 15% salmon meal). Also contains arginine, taurine, a balanced mineral complex.
- Brit Care dry cat food for skin and coat with salmon and rice. Suitable for animals with increased sensitivity, it will add shine to the coat. The effect is achieved by adding Omega-3 fatty acids and marigold extract. Also, zinc and biotin, which are included in the composition, are useful for improving the condition of the skin and coat.
Brit food for healthy skin and beautiful coat
- Brit Care dry food for cats that are constantly indoors, with chicken and rice. The diet includes 3 types of fiber (apple, beetroot and plantain), which help remove hairballs from the stomach. During shedding, you may need a furminator - after all, it is better to comb your pet rather than remove the fur from the stomach with food. To prevent tartar, vitamin C and sodium hexametaphosphate are added to the food.
Product for cats that are always indoors
- Brit Care dry food for cats prone to obesity, with rice and turkey. The diet contains mainly proteins, and the amount of fat is reduced (according to the analysis, protein is 40%, fat is 10%). This ratio is suitable for overweight pussies. To burn fat, the food is enriched with L-carnitine, and a complex of fibers (apple, beetroot, plantain) stimulates metabolic processes.
- Brit Care dry food for sterilized animals with rice and chicken. To maintain optimal urine pH, the percentage of magnesium in the diet is reduced. To improve the condition of the kidneys and urinary tract, sea buckthorn pear extract has been added. After surgery, animals tend to gain weight. A properly selected ratio of proteins (36%), fiber (5%) and fats (12%) will prevent obesity.

Reviews:
Elena. I bought it for my pet, the price turned out to be a little more expensive than similar foods. At first the cat didn’t like the new food, but then he tried it. Now he eats with pleasure. I noticed that the animal’s fur began to shine, and my mood lifted. Now I only take it.
Marina. For a long time now I have been taking only holistic food for my British dog. Mostly I bought Carney Love. The price turned out to be expensive. Out of curiosity, I read the composition of Brit’s food and was pleasantly surprised by it. The high percentage of meat content was a pleasant surprise. It turned out that Brit is an excellent combination of price and quality.
Christina. My cat is 13 years old. Over time, I began to notice that he became lazier and calmer. The fur lost its shine and began to fall out. After three months of eating Brit Angel food, the cat noticeably perked up, became cheerful, and his fur began to shine with health again. Although there is a minus - the animal’s feces began to smell stronger.
