My impressions and observations from feeding Now Natural Fresh Grain Free Senior Cat food

Let me remind you that at the time of writing this article, my British cat Marsik is 6 years old, he is neutered and has sensitive digestion. The food content of 30% protein and 14% fat allows this food to be fed to castrated and sterilized animals.

For my cat, food has ceased to be the meaning of his life. Marsik began to be more active, play, take an interest in the world around him, and sleep less. I tore up a new sofa and is actively interested in my little daughter’s toys.

He eats very little food. According to the norm, he is supposed to have 90 grams, I measure out 50 grams for him, but he rarely eats even this amount.

After 12 months of feeding this food, the cat lost excess weight and his eyes stopped watering. Marsik has become so slender! But I also noticed a change in the blue color - a brown tint appeared on the fur. Most likely this will be a problem for show cats, but for my pet Marsik it is not a problem.

A cat’s intestines (mine have a weak spot) work like clockwork. Never during the entire feeding period did I have any constipation or diarrhea.

Now about removing wool. I can’t say that this food completely copes with removing hair from cats. During the period of active molting, the cat vomited fur a couple of times with a frequency of 2-3 weeks. But when the shedding ended (after 3 months!) the cat stopped occasionally tearing up hairballs. It should be noted that a large accumulation of hair in the stomach followed by catarrhal gastritis with the addition of a bacterial infection was not observed in the cat. I do not give malt paste for hair removal.

My Marsik still refuses to drink clean water, so he eats food mixed with water in the proportion of 1 part food and 3 parts water. At first I turned my nose up and didn’t eat right away, but then I got used to it. Now he even likes this soup with food.

Everything is clear with the advantages, now let’s talk about the disadvantages of this excellent food. In today's environment, the most significant drawback is the price. A 7.26 kg bag of food cost us about $75, but feeding organic food was even more expensive.

The price raises the problem of availability: the food is only available in a few online stores, and is very rarely found on store shelves in the city, and only in small bags. We always buy food at the zoomapa pet store https://zoomapa.com.ua/tovay-dlja-koshek/korm/now-grain-free/now-kontrol-vesa-bezzernovoj-dlja-koshek-s-indejkoj-utkoj-i -ovoshami-fresh-grain-free-senior-cat-recipe-3014-182-kg/ Excellent delivery and service!

I would also like to be more specific about the composition of the food. The packaging states: turkey fillet 18%, duck fillet 2.5%, salmon fillet 2.5%, total 23%. I would like for the remaining 77% of the food composition to also indicate the percentage of ingredients.

A little tip: when you buy in a big bag, be sure to check the expiration date. You understand that the product is expensive and relatively little-known; it is not bought as often as, for example, Royal Canin, so it is possible that it has been in the warehouse longer than expected. To protect yourself as much as possible, it is better to immediately check the expiration date with the manager when ordering a product in an online store, and check it again when receiving the product.

Now about storing open food packaging. It is best to immediately pour the food into jars or hermetically sealed containers to minimize moisture getting into the food. Jars with vacuum sealed lids are ideal. Food should be stored away from sunlight.

Feed reviews

This food is holistic class. This is the highest class of feed. The price, of course, can be intimidating, but the consumption of holistic food is much less, since a cat needs much less food with a high meat content to be full. Feed Nau positions itself as weight control. Indeed, if you follow the dosage, the cat will lose weight. The cat's current weight is 5.5 kg. It was 5.9. The result is in a little more than a month. I noticed that the cat eats more of this food. How did I notice? She asks less and doesn’t bother everyone around her)) But the most important thing that prompted me to write this review is the quality of the wool. My cat is a British shorthair, she doesn’t have a solid color, but after a month of using the food her fur has become plush.

We have a shelter-yard cat, with problems with the gastrointestinal tract, teeth, gums, generally chronic, neutered, our boy weighs 4 kg and is 4.5 years old. At first I ate nau adult, and the condition of the body and organs on it was also excellent, the cat’s activity was off the charts, then we decided to lighten the meat a little (and it would be easier for his gastrointestinal tract) and bought nau light (aka senior) and it really became better better, the cat has become livelier and more active. Apparently a reduced amount of fat is better for him. Eats well with just 40 grams per day.

It smells simply disgusting! But the neighbor cats who come to my kitty and to whom I give the leftover food so that they don’t collapse exhausted from love pleasures)) don’t think so - everything is fine for them! Of course, I don't like the smell, not the cats. Although, my little princess didn’t even try! This is the whole problem - the cat doesn’t eat and the rich composition doesn’t bother her. I recommend the food with a rating of “3” because Their Majesty rejected it. It's not cheap, as you'd expect, but the ingredients are decent.

At first he still ate, but only soaked, and for the last 3 days he has refused to eat. He runs around hungry all day, at night he sleeps in the kitchen and I leave him his uneaten food. At night he eats something while alone. It's a shame, I would have switched the little one to another food, but there is still 1/3 of the pack. And he stares at the granddorf and tries to “steal” it from the elder. And the point here is not that he needs “like the elder” because he did not try to take away Nau’s previous food from him. The food stood in the bowl all day; he passed by, burying it.

I liked “Now” for its excellent composition and small granules. My mother's cat does not chew food well and swallows it whole. At the same time, the load on his already sore stomach was great, the food was poorly digested and it all ended in nausea. And in this food the granules are small (even in the adult version of the food) and even considering the fact that the cat still swallows them whole, they are perfectly digestible. The cat has never vomited while eating this food. Due to the fact that the food is grain-free, it does not cause allergies, to which my cat is also prone. The only pity is that the 230 gram package does not have a zip lock (or whatever that plastic fastener on bags is called?). Maybe, of course, larger packages are more convenient. Otherwise you either need to clamp it with a paper clip or pour it somewhere
