Advantages and disadvantages of Felix cat food

Range

Felix brand cat food is very diverse. The company produces dry and wet (canned food, jellies, sauces) food. The range of these products is presented in four varieties:

• non-complete dry food;
• “appetizing pieces in jelly”;
• "Sensation in sauce";
• "Sensation in jelly."

Dry non-complete food does not have any preventive or therapeutic properties. Also, it cannot be used as a complete food for every day. It is rather a tasty delicacy that should be regarded as an addition to the main diet. Therefore, such a treat is quite suitable for rewarding an animal during training or education.

“Appetizing pieces” already represent complete nutrition. Designed for adult cats and cats. The manufacturer recommends dividing the contents of one sachet into two servings. The remainder should be stored in the refrigerator. The line of this product includes three series. They differ in composition: chicken, meat and fish.

Sensation in sauce and jelly looks like delicious pieces that smell nice. But the composition of such food does not include the highest quality ingredients. The meat component here does not exceed 4%. These foods have different flavors: beef in tomato sauce or jelly, cod in tomato sauce, salmon with cod in jelly, carrots and chicken in jelly. There is not much difference between sauce and jelly.

Feed components

Considering the fact that all components of Felix food are supposedly natural, it can be used both as the main food and as bait or treats.

For example, chicken meat or fish fillet, which are used to make canned food, are first tested for quality, as are other components.

Various additional components are added in the correct proportions. Thus, vegetable protein, which can be found in any Felix food, allows you to protect your pet from various diseases and maintain its immunity. In addition, it is worth remembering that plant proteins are much easier to digest and absorption is much higher than their animal counterparts. This type of canned food is perfect as the main food for pets suffering from diseases of the stomach or digestive tract.

Mineral salts and sugar, which are contained in small quantities in food, allow your pet to eat food with a greater appetite.

In addition to the standard components, Felix food also includes some additional vitamins. Namely:

— Vitamin A Allows the pet to replenish energy reserves. In addition, this component completely protects the body from pathogenic bacteria, regulating metabolism.

— Vitamin D This component allows the cat to receive those elements that are fully supplied during a walk. This factor especially applies to animals that are very rarely outdoors.

Iron and iodine help your pet the most in the formation and maintenance of normal red blood cells.

Compound

Felix products are suitable for kittens and adult animals. But most often it is bought for adult cats and female cats. The food composition does not contain the highest quality ingredients. The kitten should receive more balanced and healthy food.

Various ingredients are used to prepare a particular type of food. The composition includes trout, cod and salmon, beef, chicken and turkey, offal (for example, chicken liver). Also found are plant proteins, minerals, yeast, vitamins A and D, and various additives. Macro- and microelements include manganese, iodine, iron, etc.

The manufacturer does not indicate the name of offal and meat in the list of ingredients used. Therefore, it is impossible to judge the quality of these components. It is quite possible that the manufacturer does not add the best products to the food.

Vegetable protein refers to legumes and soy. The composition also contains about 3% fat and 13% crude protein. Felix ready food has 80% humidity. These parameters may undergo some changes.

The composition contains dyes, the name of which is not specified. These can be either natural or artificial compounds. The latter can provoke food allergies in animals. Therefore, the products of this brand belong to economy class.

Types of food "Felix"

Allegedly, Felix food is a food that allows babies and adults to develop properly and feel good. Food for a pregnant cat can be considered similar in quality. To ensure that the offspring are healthy and the expectant mother feels good and safe, the company’s veterinarians took care of the optimal composition of the product. It can be given either along with regular food (healthy cereals, boiled meat and fish), or completely replace with this product all other types of food consumed by the cat.

In addition, some animals are not so willing to eat boiled vegetables and meat that their owners offer them. In this case, Felix cat food will help solve the problem. By adding a small amount of the composition to the diet, you can interest the animal and it will happily eat the resulting mixture.

In addition, Felix food is also suitable for neutered cats. To avoid diseases in one way or another related to the pet’s genitourinary system, you should avoid feeding dry food. Since in most cases even specialized components are not so well digested, problems occur with the absorption of the components, which means the load on the animal’s liver and kidneys can become a serious problem in the future.

Felix canned food is sold both in single-use packages and can be purchased as a whole set. It will contain a variety of flavor mixtures that can be alternated so that your pet receives all the vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy diet.

Do not forget that purchasing in bulk will also save on the cost of the complex. But at the same time, storage must fully comply with the instructions. It is very important that the prepared goods “for future use” are used before the expiration date. If, nevertheless, several packages remain, you should throw them away, otherwise the natural components contained in the composition will simply become unusable and can harm the animal’s digestive system.

Veterinarians' opinion

Before choosing ready-made food for your pet, you need to not only study information about the manufacturer and composition, but also find out reviews from people who have already given this food to their pets. In general, Felix is ​​rated better by cat owners than Whiskas. Both brands belong to the same class, but in some respects Felix looks better.

Despite the good rating, for constant feeding of the animal you need to choose more expensive and high-quality food. Food for every day should be super premium. The food included in this class is distinguished by its high-quality and balanced composition. It fully meets the needs of both a growing and adult or aging pet.

Veterinarians also speak quite well of Felix products:

“It cannot be said that Felix is ​​one of the best foods. Although it does not pretend to be included in the daily diet. But it can be used as a treat. The optimal ratio for a balanced diet for an animal will be: 70% - dry high-quality super-premium food and 30% - Felix treat.

Feed classification

Cat foods don't just vary in type (dry or wet). They are divided into classes:

• Economy
  - budget, cheapest food.
  They do not contain much meat; they are replaced by processed meat ingredients. And artificial colors, odor and taste enhancers give them an appetizing appearance. Such foods are widely advertised and are available even in small stores. This class includes the products "Kiteket", "Whiskas" or "Friskies"
  .
• Premium
  – more expensive food.
  They contain a normal amount of natural animal proteins and a much smaller percentage of artificial additives. For example, food "Proplan", "Hills"
  .
• Super premium
  – products with a high content of natural meat. They cost twice as much as economy class products. Sold in pet stores or specialized veterinary pharmacies.
• Holistic
  is the highest class cat food. They are distinguished by their 100% natural meat content and the complete absence of synthetic additives. Feeds of this class are expensive and it is quite difficult to find them on sale.

"Felix" is an economy class food. Which in no way means lower quality. This can be judged by reviews from veterinarians, breeders and owners. They claim that Felix food is in no way inferior in quality to other brands, and in some characteristics and balanced formulation it even surpasses its analogues. The food also has a lower price. On average, one bag costs twenty rubles, which distinguishes Felix from other foods.

Positive and negative aspects

Among the advantages of Felix brand products it should be noted:

• the food has an attractive smell and taste for cats;
• availability. You can find this food in many pet stores and even supermarkets;
• low cost;
• presence of mineral components and vitamins;
• a huge range of flavors.

Like any food, Felix has disadvantages:

• low percentage of meat ingredients;
• unknown origin of many components, especially meat and offal;
• There is no list of protein and cereal crops. Many grains can cause allergic reactions in animals;
• the use of flavors and dyes, about which there is also no additional information;
• The product range does not include lines designed for pets with special physiological needs. There is no food for allergy sufferers or sick animals.

Felix

Introduced in 2011 On store shelves, Felix food quickly gained popularity among Russian cat lovers. Animals really gobble it up on both cheeks, but this fact worries veterinarians.

Such a frantic appetite can only be caused by flavorings and other chemicals, because cats usually take a long time to look at natural food.

Felix contains all the substances required by standards:

• Zinc;
• Iodine;
• Iron;
• Vitamin D and vitamin A;
• Mineral salts;
• Meat.

But it contains at least 4% meat instead of the ideal 25%. Its deficiency is compensated for by a vegetable protein extract, which does not bring any benefit to the stomach of a predatory animal.

When deciding what food is best to feed your cat, preference should be given to more natural ingredients.

Attention! high-quality food contains at least 15% meat and does not contain corn or yeast; it is rich in proteins and has virtually no carbohydrates.
