Bozita food for cats: description, reviews from veterinarians

history of the company

The production of ready-made food for cats is concentrated in the vicinity of the city of Vorgorda. Aaron Hayman, who is the founder of the company, from a young age dreamed of producing high-quality products to feed his four-legged friends. At the beginning of the 20th century, the dream became a reality, and the first batch of ready-made food rolled off the assembly line. During the manufacturing process, exclusively local high quality products were used. That is why the food quickly gained popularity among consumers.

What kind of food?

Sweden is famous for its quality standards and environmental friendliness of its products. Bozita food is positioned by the company in the super-premium segment.

Despite the wide range, among the products produced, only those that serve as a daily diet for healthy cats are distinguished. Bosita does not have any special food with veterinary indications.

Bozita Feline Function, which is the name given to cat food produced by the Swedes, has its own developments and a unique composition, which is designed for both kittens and mature cats, including sterilized or neutered, as well as elderly pets.

The special composition is tested on cats that live at the Bozita factory. The additives that are an integral part of the Bozita brand require maximum balance and make the diet varied.

Compound

Bozita food appeals not only to small kittens, but also to adult cats, which are quite picky about the food offered by the owner. In the manufacturing process, the company uses:

1. Dehydrated chicken as a source of protein.
2. Salmon, cod and haddock, which fill the cat’s body with protein and phosphorus.
3. Corn gluten saturates the body with plant protein.
4. Wheat flour and corn, which is unacceptable for super premium ready-made food.
5. Bone fat. The animal fat mixture is extracted from the long bones of cows.
6. Dried eggs containing a large amount of protein.
7. Yeast, which replenishes the deficiency of B vitamins in the animal’s body, helps improve the condition of the skin and coat. This component may cause allergies in susceptible cats. You need to introduce food into your diet gradually, monitoring the health and well-being of your furry friend.
8. Dry beet pulp, which is a source of fiber that helps normalize the digestive process.
9. Dicalcium phosphate. The mineral component satisfies the baleen's need for phosphorus and calcium. To obtain the substance, a chemical method is used.
10. Emulsifier potassium chloride, which helps obtain a homogeneous mass. Potassium chloride does not harm the pet's body.
11. Dog-rose fruit.

Upon closer examination of the composition of Bozita, you can see that not all components are truly beneficial to the cat.

Bozita cat food: basic information

Bozita cat food is produced in Sweden, where, as you know, there are quite high requirements for the manufacture of this kind of product. “Bozita” belongs to the super premium class, it can be found in the form of dry food and canned food. The manufacturer of this product is Doggy AB, which also produces dog food, so be careful when choosing. You can mistakenly buy dog ​​food with a similar name (Bozita Robur, Bozita Naturals, Bozita Nordic By Nature and others).

Despite the good reputation of the manufacturer and the high quality of Bozita food, the product has one unpleasant feature - incorrect translation of the product’s composition. Let's look at the example of the description of Sensitive Hair & Skin dry food. So, in the description of the composition on the product packaging in the Russian version, you can read that the food contains dry chicken meat. However, on the manufacturer’s website and in the English version of the description of the composition we see dreid chicken, which indicates the presence of dehydrated chicken in the food. The difference, it would seem, is small, but it still exists, because adding dehydrated chicken to the food implies the presence of not only chicken meat in the product, but also by-products, whereas the Russian description does not say the latter. The same applies to the translation of pork meal, which should sound like “pork flour” and not “pork meat meal”.

Unfortunately, the translation of the composition of Bozita food into Russian is incorrect (on the left is a photo of the composition from the packaging, on the right is data from the official website: above - from Russian, below - from English)

• the high price of feed, which makes the product accessible not to every Russian;
• there are no treats or medicinal products in the food line of this manufacturer;
• The translation of the food composition is not entirely correct, which is why reading the Russian version of the food description does not give a complete understanding of what this product consists of.

Reviews of Bozita for kittens

Sofia: “I have been feeding my Scottish baby Bosita for kittens from the first days. After studying the reviews of veterinarians on the Internet, I chose this particular food and do not regret it. The baby is developing well, active and healthy. The stool is regular, without problems. The fur is thick and silky – a real plush toy.”

Cat food reviews

Rodion: “I like the line of wet food from the Bozita brand. My kitty doesn't really like dry diets. She prefers canned food. Bozita has a large selection of varied diets. I gave different compositions to try. The cat liked the wet food with elk meat the most. Of course, the cat hardly felt the exotic component, apparently it’s just a high-quality composition.”

Choosing food is a responsible matter

Today, the choice of cat food is very diverse. Manufacturers are actively fighting for buyers and offering different foods for cats, taking into account the breed, character, age and diseases. When choosing food, it is important to follow a number of rules in order to get truly healthy food and not harm your pet.

The cat is a natural predator, so the basis of its diet should be meat. Lack of the required amount of protein can lead to deterioration of health and illness of the pet. High-quality food must contain a sufficient amount of meat to maintain the normal functioning of the animal.

Under natural conditions, a cat eats its prey entirely, along with the contents of its stomach, thus receiving the required amount of plant food. Therefore, in addition to meat, industrial feed should include vegetables and cereals. When purchasing ready-made food, you must first pay attention to the composition of the food.

When choosing industrial food, you need to take into account the presence of allergies in your cat. If you have any doubts about whether prepared food is suitable for your pet, you can consult your veterinarian.
