Advantages and disadvantages

Go Natural Holistic undoubtedly has many advantages, but we should not forget about the disadvantages.
After all, knowing the characteristics of food helps you choose the right food for your pet. Let's take a closer look at what the positive and negative aspects of the presented cat food are. Important! Just because a food contains human grade food does not mean people can taste their pet's food. Because the ingredients, although of high quality, undergo special processing to bring as much benefit to the animals as possible

Human cooking uses other methods of preparing food. This information is freely available, that is, on the manufacturer’s official website.

About the advantages

The advantages of Go diets include the following factors:

• carbohydrates, fats, protein and minerals in the composition form a useful complex, complementing each other;
• the products included in the holistic product can be used as food for people, which indicates their high quality;

• no chemical additives;
• the diet contains components that are suitable specifically for the cat’s body and are aimed at maintaining the health of cats;
• the manufacturer uses unconventional additives (their content can be difficult to find even in very high quality holistic products), thanks to which the normal functioning of the animal’s gastrointestinal tract is stimulated;
• Canadian production is known for strict control over product quality, so you can be sure that there will be nothing unnecessary inside the package. There will only be the ingredients indicated on the product packaging;
• the cost of the product is consistent with its quality;
• the presented assortment allows you to choose a holistic approach suitable for your pet, but at the same time not get lost in the many options;
• the cat will not become obese, even if you exceed the daily dose (which we still recommend not to do);
• Holistic food is suitable for both kittens and adult cats, nursing cats and older pets.

About the cons

Unfortunately, it doesn’t come without its downsides. However, knowing about them, you can confidently say whether this food is suitable for your pet or whether it is worth looking for another option so as not to harm the cat’s health.

Among the negative ones we can highlight the following points:

• cost - despite the fact that the price is quite reasonable for high-quality food, this option is not suitable for everyone;
• The possibility of an allergic reaction to Go Natural Holistic cannot be ruled out. The reason may be that the animal is intolerant to a certain component, so be careful;
• There is no veterinary, that is, treatment-oriented, health-improving diet;

Important! The manufacturer deliberately did not include this type of food in the line. If only because grain-free food in itself is healthy, and its consumption normalizes the functioning of the pet’s internal organs

An animal that grows up on proper nutrition will not get sick.

It is possible to purchase exclusively dry food - there are currently no canned food or small bags for one-time use.

Thus, we see that Go food will be an excellent choice for both babies and neutered cats. Be responsible not only in choosing a pet and raising it, but also in feeding the cat, because food can provide the animal’s body with all the necessary substances and prolong its life for many years. And Go Natural Holistic can be an excellent assistant in this difficult matter.

Super premium nutrition features

There is no single global system for classifying cat food today, however, among manufacturers there are 4 main categories that differ from each other primarily in the quality of ingredients. The cat owner can choose for his pet:

• economy food, in which the source of protein is usually fat or bone meal, and contains a lot of flavor enhancers. They are characterized by low cost;
• Premium food is made from higher quality ingredients (the source of protein will be meat and plant ingredients), but its composition is not ideal. The addition of approved stabilizers and preservatives is allowed;
• super premium food. Its main difference is the content of proteins with the highest biological value, for example, lamb, turkey, Atlantic fish, eggs, etc., and the percentage of each component is indicated in the composition. The source of carbohydrates will be rice, oats, barley or potatoes. Super premium formulations always contain a lot of vegetables, and the preservatives and antioxidants necessary to preserve the product are of natural origin (usually a mixture of tocopherols and rosemary). For production, special equipment is required to preserve all components in the finished product. For this reason, cats usually eat such food with pleasure and without additional flavorings. The digestibility of such food is more than 83%, which makes it especially valuable;
• Holistic is a type of super premium class, the “elite” of industrial cat nutrition. Their peculiarity is the use of hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly components in combinations that are best absorbed by the animal’s body. This food is considered to be as close as possible to the natural diet of a predator.

When creating super premium feeds, hazardous and allergenic components are usually not used, namely:

• artificial preservatives (butylated hydroanisole or BHA, sodium metabisulfite, ethoxyquin, etc.);
• artificial flavor enhancers (digest, sodium monoglutamate);
• sucrose (sugar, caramel) - cats do not need it at all, and excessive sugar content in food can cause a temporary reaction in the form of loose stools or provoke diabetes;
• unspecified animal fat (the quality of this component is not checked; it can be obtained from any animal, including a sick or deceased one);
• sugar beet pulp and cake;
• soybean and its derivatives. This ingredient is used as a source of protein in cheap food; it makes the cat feel full faster, but it is poorly digested, has no benefit and often causes bloating;

In some feeds you can find corn, wheat and their derivatives (flour, gluten). Corn is practically not digested by the cat’s body and is considered useless, and wheat often causes allergies, so such additives are undesirable, although they are used by manufacturers.

Advantages and disadvantages

Based on the features of most industrial products, we can talk about the following advantages of super premium cat food:

• quality sources of protein;
• no harmful additives. If it is necessary to increase the attractiveness of the product (for example, for picky individuals), natural ingredients are used - herbs, vegetables, etc.;
• a minimum amount of ballast components that are not absorbed in the digestive tract. When using super premium food, the daily consumption rate is lower than when feeding economical feed options, and the volume of excrement will not increase;
• the presence of additional useful components (for removing hair, improving metabolism, maintaining healthy hair, etc.);
• a wide range, based not only on tastes (like cheap items), but on the needs of a particular category of animals (for kittens, cats with an active or passive lifestyle, for older animals, for certain breeds, for pets with various diseases, etc.) .

The main disadvantage of premium food is its cost - it is significantly higher than that of lower quality food. In addition, some foods are not so well known or widely distributed, so they may be difficult to find and are not often advertised.

Identified shortcomings of recipes

But according to some buyers, the formulas have drawbacks. The main disadvantage of the products is the unclear components in the recipes. The contents of not all ingredients are stated on the label, and their exact volume is also not presented. This makes choosing a formula difficult. Another disadvantage of the brand is the unavailability of all recipes in pet stores. Many products have to be ordered online.

Useful characteristics of 1st Choice food

Studies have shown that regular consumption of 1st Choice cat food does not cause addiction in animals. Pets easily switch from this brand to others. Balanced recipe formulas guarantee (proven by veterinarians):

• prevention of the development of genetic diseases and gastrointestinal diseases;
• restoration of physiological development cycles;
• normalization of hair and skin health;
• natural activity of the animal during infancy and puberty;
• birth of healthy offspring;
• elimination of bacterial imbalance, which has a positive effect not only on reducing the odor of animal feces, but also on reducing bad breath;
• normal growth and development of a pet;
• promoting animal consumption of the required volume of clean drinking water.

Veterinarians in the USA and Canada have noticed that Fest Choice cat food meets 98% of the nutritional needs of pets aged 2 months to 10 years and older. They guarantee the maintenance of your pet’s health, but most importantly, do not contribute to the development of diseases.

Dietary recipes for animals suffering from obesity and susceptible to food allergies, as well as cats leading a sedentary lifestyle, deserve special respect.

What is the assortment?

Today, the 1st Choice range is represented by several recipes, which are divided into groups depending on the age of the animal:

• “Healthy Start” line – from 2 months to a year. Both kittens and young animals can eat it. The food in this line is based on fresh chicken meat;
• treatment line: “Hypoallergenic”, “Vitality for domestic cats”, “For picky pets”, “Healthy coat and skin”, “For sterilized cats”, “Weight control”. Given between 1 and 10 years of age. Prescribed by a veterinarian. The specialist determines what daily amount is given to the pet at a time. Such nutrition is prescribed if the animal will be sterilized or has health problems (the fur begins to shed, excess weight appears, etc.);
• line “For inactive and aging” – from 10 years. Suitable for older animals. This line contains special additional baits that are not given every day. The composition of the food is as balanced as possible to meet the needs of the pet’s aging body.

Due to its special focus, each line has its own description of the composition, since in each individual case the cat must receive food with different ingredients. The manufacturer produces both dry and wet types of food for pets.

General characteristics, manufacturer

Go Natural Holistic is a cat food manufactured by Petcurean, Canada. Its main feature is the absence of grain crops; such diets are also called holistic. They are aimed not just at satisfying the animal’s hunger, but also at protecting its health and emotional state.

Holistic is a food in which the components are not mixed with each other in a random order, but are combined in such a way that the pet receives maximum benefit from the food intake.

The manufacturer has worked to ensure that the components of the diets are as similar as possible to those that animals receive in the wild. After all, this type of food is best suited for cats - it protects their body from all kinds of diseases, and also gives energy and prevents obesity, which often happens when animals are fed cheap food with grain components.

Pros and cons of a Canadian product

This super premium food has a number of advantages over other brands:

• natural composition approved by international product control companies;
• optimal ratio of nutrients;
• Availability of a line for cats with allergies, neutered pets, and elderly animals.

Among the disadvantages are:

• small variety of tastes;
• lack of wet food;
• high price;
• lack of detailed description of the composition on the packaging;
• the presence of chicken flour and plant ingredients that may be allergens.

In general, the opinion of veterinarians about 1st Choice food is positive. This diet is much more suitable for pets than the cheap products found on supermarket shelves. However, if your cat has serious health problems, it is best to choose medicated foods available from other brands.

Feeding recommendations

Fest Choice food contains natural and high-quality ingredients. An adult cat is recommended to have no more than two cans of wet food per day, and the dosage of dry food differs for different categories of pets. Feeding rates are detailed on the packaging.

You need to transition to a new food gradually. Clean water must be constantly available. It is not recommended to combine it with natural food, since the composition already contains all the necessary elements. Fest Choice belongs to the super-premium class; you don’t need to feed the cat or add vitamins.

Don't forget about clean water

Before purchasing, be sure to read the ingredients. Perhaps some ingredients are contraindicated for the cat or there is an individual intolerance. You don’t have to worry about the quality of the brand’s raw materials, but you need to check the expiration date. Perhaps the food was left in the store.

Fest Choice granules are uniform in color and suitable for the size of the cat. In addition, their shape promotes teeth cleaning.

Main ingredients in the feed

Recipes necessarily contain a combination of several natural ingredients (depending on the purpose of the formula):

Source of animal protein (protein).

Fresh meat ingredients and chicken eggs are used. The amount of natural protein in the feed ranges from 14-31%. To give the product a pleasant smell and tasty taste, the manufacturer uses chicken liver hydrolyzate. The component also contains a certain percentage of natural protein, but it is small, so it cannot be considered an independent source of protein.

Vegetable protein sources.

The original Fest Choice cat food contains various types of cereals: oats, brown and white rice, pea protein, barley kernels. The listed components are sources of large amounts of plant proteins and carbohydrates. All cereal and legume components are added to the composition after special processing of the kernels (dried and ground, maximum protein content). Moreover, protein from peas and rice are components in the top five main ingredients.

Sources of fat.

Salmon fish oil and meat fat are used. The total content can range from 10 to 20%. Both components are rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 - fatty amino acids. An additional source of fat is flax seeds (a plant component in dietary formulas).

Cellulose.

A component that normalizes the functioning of a pet’s intestines, so its content in food is over 3.5-5%. Diets include several types of fiber: fresh beet pulp, peas, tomatoes (dried pulp), etc. It is poorly absorbed by the cat’s body, so it serves exclusively for the nutritional value of the food (the animal feels full and does not overeat) and cleanses the intestines.

All Fest Choice cat food, according to experts, also contains a combination of other useful components. These include taurine (an amino acid), lecithin (for healthy coat and skin), yeast extract (normalizing the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the intestines and stomach). The feed also contains B vitamins, mineral supplements, chicory extract (normalizes the balance of bacteria) and Yucca Schidigera (reduces the unpleasant odor of feces).

Products for adult animals

The line of food for adult pets is divided into several types. Obviously, cats that lead an active and sedentary lifestyle need to eat differently, as do neutered cats, animals with allergies or obesity. All these features are taken into account when compiling Fest Choice recipes.

For healthy pets, including neutered ones

For adult cats without health problems, there are several food options:

• Indoor Vitality. Designed for pets who do not leave the premises, but at the same time lead an active lifestyle. The diet is designed for cats aged 1 to 10 years. The meat base is chicken, which helps to obtain the necessary supply of protein to replenish energy. An undeniable advantage of this product is the addition of yucca extract. Surely many have noticed an unpleasant smell in apartments where cats live. Yucca has antifungal properties and neutralizes ammonia odor, keeping your cat's litter box odor-free.
• Healthy Skin and Coat. Suitable for long-haired cats, but it can also be given to representatives of other breeds. It contains salmon, which contains many essential fatty acids necessary for health. This food has a beneficial effect on the condition of the coat, making it fluffy, shiny and silky.

• Finicky Chicken Formula. What should you do if your pet refuses its usual food and demands unusual food? Then this diet based on herring with chicken will suit him.
• Weight Control. In neutered pets, hormonal levels and metabolism change, which leads to obesity. They lead a less active lifestyle and eat more. For such animals, chicken food “Weight Control” has been created, the balanced formula of which allows you to maintain normal weight.

For cats with kidney disease, obesity, allergies

The most common diseases of domestic cats are diseases of the urinary system. By purchasing 1st Choice products, pet owners do not have to worry that the diet is not suitable for a pet with kidney disease.

The composition of each product is balanced in the amount of salts and minerals, so it is suitable both for a cat with existing diseases and for the prevention of pathologies of the urinary organs, but the line also includes a specialized food “Urinary Health”. It contains reduced amounts of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium, which reduces the risk of oxalate formation and helps dissolve bladder stones.

For obese cats, you also don’t need to look for specialized food. The “Weight Control” diet for neutered cats is quite suitable. The amount of calories in it is small, and the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is designed for animals prone to overweight and sedentary.

Food allergies are common in purebred cats. For pets with individual intolerance to certain foods and a sensitive gastrointestinal tract, the brand has developed a special “Hypoallergenic” food. The most common allergen is chicken protein, so chicken is replaced with duck meat, and grains, which worsen digestion, are completely excluded from the composition.

Grain-free food is also available for spayed and neutered animals. It is suitable for cats with impaired digestion and promotes rapid recovery after surgery.

For elderly and inactive animals

For cats over 10 years old and pets leading a sedentary lifestyle, the manufacturing company offers specialized food “Mature or Less Active” with chicken meat. The product is enriched with glucosamine and chondroitin, which improve the condition of joints and the entire musculoskeletal system. Antioxidants slow down the aging of the body, and an optimal acid-base balance prevents the development of urolithiasis.

Positive reviews

Rigina

I have 2 adult sterile ordinary noble cats and a long-haired cat, also neutered from a shelter. He was eating whiskey when I took him. It shed absolutely terribly in clumps, and when I cleaned the tray after it, tears welled up in my eyes from the extremely disgusting stench! I switched all the cats to Fest Choice with salmon in the hope of improving the quality of their fur. After 2 months of feeding only dry food with salmon, I would like to note that shedding in apartment cats has actually decreased significantly. The long-haired cat's fur has become shiny, fluffy and he looks much better than before. The nasty smell from cat stool is gone, everything is fine. They drink a lot of water and often, they refused to eat food for the first few days (transferred from the piano), but then apparently they got a taste of it and now everything is great! Feed consumption is much lower for 3 adult cats than for the same royal, and this is also pleasing!

Having adopted a very small kitten, the question of choosing food immediately arose. Unfortunately, domestically produced food (Hills, Royal, Proplan) did not suit her. We decided on Fest Choice food for kittens. It is produced in Canada. The family-owned manufacturing company has its own feed production plant. Which is very important. Also, veterinary standards for feed quality abroad are much higher than in Russia. Therefore, there was no doubt about the quality of this food. The cat immediately began to eat it. Digestion improved, the fur became shiny and soft, and did not fall into clumps. The kitten became playful. Many people are confused by the salt in food. But it makes the cat drink more water, which prevents the formation of urolithiasis. The vet also approved of our choice.
