Minuses:

Compound

The manufacturer of Our Brand claims that its cat food is premium, however, judging by some reviews, this is not entirely true. A fairly high percentage of consumers rated this food as economy class. Here you need to figure out whose side is true and study in detail the composition of the food according to the stated information on the pack.

Our Brand wet food for cats (in addition to components that are obviously useful) contains the following:

• meat and animal products (products of animal origin) – no less than 25%. However, the percentage of meat is not high. The composition includes PZhP, and these include horns, beak, skin. Such a list of elements is not very well absorbed by the body, according to veterinarians;
• excess fiber (plant matter);
• presence of thickeners.

When comparing the composition of the food, Our brand with food belonging to the economy class, in which meat is present in an unspecified amount, but the food under review looks in a more advantageous light. However, it clearly does not live up to the declared premium.

Compound

When analyzing dry food in detail, the sequence of components is striking. Thus, in diets for adult cats, corn and its derivatives, as well as poultry meal, come first, regardless of the taste stated on the package.

In addition, rice, yeast, vegetable oil, beet cake and pulp, and hydrolyzed liver are used. Supplements include taurine, antioxidants and vitamins.

However, the specific gravity of one or another component in the feed is not indicated. In fairness, it is necessary to clarify: “Our Brand” provides the content of nutritional elements. In particular, proteins are about 26%, and fats are about 12%. For kittens these figures are higher: 32% and 14%, respectively. For castrated cats, the specific gravity of fat is reduced to 9%.

Our Brand wet food contains meat and very vague animal products. In addition, there is unspecified natural fiber, vegetable protein, and sunflower oil. Thickeners, vitamins and mineral compounds are used as additives. Unfortunately, the specific gravity of each component in canned cat food is not given. The humidity is about 80%. The nutritional value of protein in such feeds is about 7.5%, and fat – 4%.

Reviews of Our Brand food

Sasha Efremenkova. My British girlfriend is a very picky eater. I don’t know what this is connected with, either character or breed. I decided to consult a breeder friend. She said that she feeds her crowd with Our Brand, saying that the content is acceptable, price and quality. I decided to try offering this food to my cat. My disappointment was predictable - she didn’t eat it, despite the fact that it supposedly contained salmon. I went to the vet - recommended by Arden Grange. I definitely have a gourmet cat, because unlike Our Mark, she liked him right away.

Ilyasov Timur. A week ago I found a kitten in the entrance. I read reviews on the Internet about Our Brand food - everything seemed to work out well, and it was not expensive. Here, I feed it to Black. The cat is cheerful, active, no problems yet.

Valeria Petrovna Astakhova. There are 3 adult cats and one elderly cat living at home. The latter had problems with bowel movements. The doctor recommended switching her from natural food to ready-made food, saying it was balanced. My grandson found Our Brand in an online store. Luckily for me, there was no chapel when Marquise started going to the toilet normally. I think maybe I should buy this food for other cats too?

About the manufacturer

Experts' opinion

Galina Petrovna Koval, veterinarian, 9 years of experience. The food is quite dubious. Of course, if compared with Whiskas products, it is better to choose it. However, if it is possible to purchase more expensive food that is included in the premium class, then opt for the latter.

Izmailov Dmitry Alekseevich, veterinarian, 15 years of experience. For an animal with health problems, Our Brand is definitely not suitable, since its composition is not sufficiently balanced, and there is no adaptation for low-weight or, on the contrary, obese pets, such as Innova Evo. It may well be included in the diet of a healthy pet. I recommend that my patients choose wet food.

Feed prices Our Brand

The most affordable way to purchase this food is to purchase from online stores. On the page of the manufacturer's official website there are links to regional sites. According to statistics, the cost of Our Brand food is approximately 2 times less than the cost of premium food produced abroad. It is recommended to purchase food exclusively through links from the official manufacturer. This will help eliminate the option of purchasing a fake.

Conclusion: The food under review belongs to the premium economy class (something in between two extremes, like Perfect Fit). Whatever food you choose, follow the storage rules for dry and wet food.
