Composition of the food “Four-legged gourmet”
At the time of writing this review, four lines of canned cat food are produced - Golden Line, Cold Cuts, Soufflé, and Pates. Below we will separately look at examples of the compositions of each of them.
Gold Line
Let's look at the composition of the Four-Legged Gourmand canned food from the Golden Line line using the example of the "Chicken with Veal in Jelly" option for kittens:
Photo of the composition indicated on the can of canned food.
The basis of the food is chicken and veal, these two ingredients are in first and second place, respectively. Meat is a good source of protein, which contains at least 11.5% (indicated in the “Nutritional Value” section).
In third place is chicken fat, which is a source of fats and fatty acids. Contains no more than 10% fat. Fermented rice is a natural food coloring for meat products. Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats.
Brewer's yeast is a source of B-group vitamins. Fish oil is a source of fats and fatty acids. Seaweed - contains a lot of iodine and other trace elements. Yucca schedigera - reduces the smell of excrement. Gelling additive - needed to create jelly. Water is needed to create jelly.
In general, the composition of canned food in the Golden Line line is very good, corresponding to the super-premium class.
Cold cuts
Let’s look at the composition of canned food in the “Assorted Meats” line using the example of the “chicken” option:
Photo of the composition indicated on the canned food.
The first ingredient is chicken meat, 45% of it, which is a good source of protein. Next come meat by-products - heart (14%), lung, liver. These three ingredients are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals (especially liver).
Collagen-containing raw materials - it is not specified what exactly (it could be tendons, bone, skin trimmings, etc.). Animal protein - it is clear what serves as a source of protein, but it is not known from what raw materials this protein is obtained.
Manufacturer information.
Vegetable oil serves as a source of fats and fatty acids. Taurine is an essential (very necessary) amino acid for cats. Water - probably needed for the liquid with which the meat ingredients are poured.
In general, the composition of the canned food Four-Legged Gourmet “Meat Line” is quite good, it more than corresponds to the premium class.
Compound
The company characterizes its product as super premium. If you believe the manufacturer, then the first place for him is high-quality and natural ingredients that make up the food. On the official website this composition is described as very “tasty”, it makes you want to buy a jar for your beloved dog to try. And when you open the jar, you catch a delicate meat aroma. The contents look quite attractive: pieces of meat under a thin layer of jelly. And the composition of canned food (food) for dogs “Gourmet” pleases the owner’s eye. Just read what is in a jar of lamb food for adult dogs:
- In first place is lamb (lamb), as the manufacturer reports on the packaging.
- The second is a gelling additive.
- Salt is on the third line, and water is on the last line.
There are only four ingredients in the composition that delight the owners. But is it really worth praising Gourmet dog food so much?
Lamb is very healthy, it is healthy and low in calories. In addition, it does not cause allergic reactions, but meat does. What is hidden behind the vague word “lamb”, in what quantities? The answer to the question asked remains on the conscience of the manufacturer. The thing is that it can mean natural meat, offal, and industrial waste such as leather, wool and bones.
Now about a certain mysterious gelling additive. Why is its specific composition not indicated, what is hidden under this phrase? And again, what is the percentage of the declared additive? We don’t know; the manufacturer chose to remain silent when describing the composition of its product.
The most common complaint is the salt in the Gourmet dog food. Experienced dog owners know that this supplement is not at all beneficial for pets. Moreover, you should not regularly give salty food, this leads to serious health problems for dogs.
Water is a harmless product, but how much of it is in our food is unclear. We will not dwell on the water; from the above it becomes clear how honest the manufacturer is with customers.
By the way, “Gourmet” dry dog food is also produced. There are a lot of incomprehensible things in its composition, but for such a price you can buy a better quality product.

Reviews of food Four-Legged Gourmand for dogs
Karina: I wouldn’t say that the Four-Legged Gourmand line is the best among the rest, but if we talk about the quality of wet canned food, then they are very good. I like the fact that there is nothing superfluous in the composition, only meat, and what does a dog need most? Additionally, we give dry food and vitamins, so my Samson is feeling great!
Kolya: As for the premium class, Four-Legged Gourmet has good quality, different flavor solutions, versatility and a reasonable price. Maybe the quality is a little worse compared to analogues. But wet canned food is not provided on a permanent basis, but only partially. Therefore, you don’t have to spend too much money.
Kirill: Why overpay for expensive imported spiders with a similar composition, if you can buy a domestic Four-Legged Gourmet. Moreover, our dog does not feel any worse about them; on the contrary, he eats with pleasure, after eating only dry croquettes. I especially like the Silver line, it seems to be dietary and healthy!

Negative opinions
Not all owners share the enthusiasm for this food. There were a few who were puzzled by the composition. And not only this makes dog owners think:
- The quality of Gourmet dog food leaves much to be desired. The experienced owners, as noted above, are puzzled by its composition.
- The price category does not suit everyone. Others consider the food too expensive.
- Not suitable for feeding large dogs, at least in canned form. Because the volume of the cans is too small, you will go broke on food alone.
- For representatives of small breeds, one jar is enough for 2-2.5 times.
- Other owners note a change in the color of their pets' excrement. And their number increased after the animal was switched to canned Gourmet.
- Some dogs, much to the chagrin of their owners, refuse to even try the food offered.
