Reviews from veterinarians

Alexandra Viktorovna writes in response to a question about Felix food:

Good afternoon. Felix is ​​not the best food, but with a balanced diet it is unlikely to harm. Canned food and spiders can make up a maximum of 30% of the diet, and the remaining 70% is high-quality super premium dry food.

Customer Reviews

Valya writes:

My cat has been very selective about food since childhood, that is, it’s bad, she’ll sniff it and leave. So I turned my nose up at many foods, but not at Felix. She liked him so much that she immediately begs him when he sees me going into the kitchen. He eats with pleasure, I don’t know whether it’s the ingredients, or the cute kitten on the bag that looks very much like my cat?

I usually buy several bags of Felix at once, with different flavors (I tried them all, and never refused a single one). Of course, I don’t give these pieces every day, but mostly I feed the cat natural food. After all, it is clear that although it is tasty, there is nothing normal in its composition. This applies to any prepared food.

In general, I recommend these wet pieces as a treat for pampering your pet. But do not forget that the main food should be natural and truly healthy.

Lilia writes:

Every housewife thinks about what to feed her cat. My Pussy eats natural food, but sometimes there are situations when I don’t have time to cook for him. In such cases, I go to the store and buy commercial food. I don’t have any preferences regarding manufacturers, I went to the supermarket, went to the pet food, and took any that was for cats.

I remembered that I already took KiteKat, Whiskas, and recently I came across Felix, and I’ll tell you about it. The packaging is ordinary, bright, with large inscriptions on the front about the merits of this food, and on the back in small letters about the composition. Easy to open, the contents of the package are very different from what came in KiteKat and Whiskas. They contained pieces in a thin sauce, but here it looks more like jellied meat with chicken. The pieces themselves are more reminiscent of meat rather than swollen dry food.

The smell of the food is like chicken broth, even appetizing compared to other wet foods. The cat really liked the new food and gobbled it up on both cheeks. The advantages of the food would include convenient packaging, availability, price, delicious aroma, and the fact that the cat liked it. The only drawback is the composition, which contains only 4% meat and for some reason contains sugar.

Natalya writes:

We fed the cat Felix (as an additive to Pro Plan drying) for almost a year, there was a clear dependence, as soon as the cat heard the crunch of the packaging, he ran and screamed like crazy and demanded this food. But a month ago, on the advice of a veterinarian, we had to give it up, because... The cat began to have blood in his stool, there were fears that he was sick, but as it turned out it was all from Felix.

Now the cat is drying, occasionally I give him Four-Legged Gourmet pate, which he of course does not eat with such enthusiasm, but still eats. The stool improved almost instantly, the cat feels great)

Composition and energy value

Today, one of the most popular types of industrial cat food is Felix. According to experts, it has high nutritional value and is well balanced. This is due to the components included in the composition. Some of them:

• meat or fish ingredients - at least 4%;
• vegetable protein;
• vitamin A, as well as D3;
• minerals - iron, manganese, iodine, zinc, copper;
• sugar.

By consuming these products, the cat receives the vitamins and minerals necessary for full functioning. Energy value of 1 kg of product:

This high-calorie food keeps your pet full for a long time. At the same time (according to the manufacturer), natural ingredients are used in the production process, which makes the products safe for animals. The only aspect that certainly confuses me is the low meat content. The share of the latter in more expensive products reaches 40%.
