Cons of cat food “Our Brand”
- Minus feed in a very small amount of meat and offal, most are plant components and various additives. It’s no secret that those components of the product that the manufacturer indicates first, as a rule, and are, if not basis, then a significant part of the goods. So the question is, why the food has the name “For adult cats with beef and vegetables, “because the beef itself is not there, and the vegetables are almost on last place. In this case, many cat owners can refuse to purchase at all, giving preference to another feed. But it must be remembered that many pet product manufacturers indicate in the composition almost the same set of ingredients as in the feed “Our Brand”, sometimes changing the name of the components. Sometimes in The most elite brands of cat food use natural meat, which makes up a significant part of them, while the price high.

In addition, not every buyer has the opportunity visit specialized pet stores and large hypermarkets, and in convenience stores sometimes you will find only 2-3 types of feed most famous brands.
- Corn content. Most likely, the manufacturer uses corn in its feed because of its low cost, but for the health of our little brothers, it is quite harmful. Many owners cats complain that the use of feed, where there is in the composition corn, leads to allergic reactions and hair problems animal.
