Felix is ​​a budget food, but is it harmless? Details +Video

Every year, more and more cat owners switch their pets to dry food. Today, store shelves are literally bursting with a huge variety of cat food. One of these is Felix food, reviews of which are both positive and negative. It will be an excellent option for those people who have a pet at home, but have absolutely no time to deal with its diet.

The thing is that for normal functioning and good health, animals need proper and balanced feeding. Creating a nutrition program on your own is a very problematic and expensive task, so dry food manufacturers produce ready-made food that contains all the necessary nutrients in ideal proportions. But before you start giving your four-legged friend Felix food (reviews from veterinarians about it are very contradictory), let's try to understand what it is.

A few words about the manufacturer

The production of Felix ready-made food is carried out by the Nestlé Purina PetCare company, which every pet owner knows about.
This manufacturer is one of the leaders in the world market in the production of ready-made food for four-legged pets. The company's products are sold throughout the world, and its sales volumes account for 18 percent of the market. In Russia, dry food “Felix” for cats, the reviews of which are very varied, went on sale back in 1997. In our country there are Nestlé Purina PetCare factories, which produce animal food for domestic consumers. Its popularity is due to its relatively low price and good quality.

Is it worth buying Felix cat food?

What makes me suspicious is the fact that cats like this food, but owners are rarely impressed by it. Whether the composition contains harmful components that cause addiction is unknown. Perhaps, if a cat owner has the time and opportunity to prepare natural food for their pet, they can refuse to purchase Felix food. If you have the means to purchase expensive food that contains 30-40% meat and does not contain preservatives or dyes, Felix food is not the best option. But if the animal owner does not have the opportunity to buy premium food, then Felix is ​​not the worst option. What speaks in its favor is that it contains meat and offal, cats love it (who knows, maybe it’s not all about harmful dyes and flavor enhancers)? The definite disadvantage of this food is the preservatives and dyes contained in the composition, which the manufacturer honestly informed the buyer about. If we consider the price-quality ratio of the product, then everything is normal. Affordable price for Felix products and the same composition, where there are benefits (meat) and harm (additives).

Advantages and disadvantages

Felix food, reviews of which are in most cases positive, like any other ready-made food for animals, has certain advantages and disadvantages.
Among the advantages are:

• good balance;
• widespread sale;
• a large assortment;
• many flavor combinations;
• good taste and aroma of canned food;
• presence of macronutrients in feed;
• low cost.

Unfortunately, there were also some downsides.

The main ones are:

• low percentage of meat components;
• the presence of harmful preservatives and flavor enhancers;
• lack of food in the assortment aimed at feeding animals suffering from various diseases of the digestive system.

After weighing all the advantages and disadvantages of the Felix product (cat food), reviews of which note its quality and availability, you can decide whether to buy it for your pets or not.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of Felix food are:

• low cost;
• sold in almost all stores;
• contains meat;
• a wide variety of tastes;
• the food has a pleasant smell and taste, so most cats eat it with pleasure;
• There is a special line of food for kittens.

There are also disadvantages:

• low content of natural components in the composition;
• meat of unknown quality;
• unclear percentage of components;
• there is no line for cats with special physiological needs (for example, those with digestive problems, allergies, etc.);
• food often causes an allergic reaction.

Important! Owners often note that their pets get used to Felix food very quickly. After this, it is not so easy to switch them to another food.

Range

The Felix range of ready-made food is very diverse.
The products are produced in the form of canned food, bagged packaging and trays. The food can be either wet or dry. All products are divided into three basic principles:

• canned meat - includes beef or rabbit meat cooked with various vegetables;
• poultry-based food - stewed chicken, duck or turkey with tomatoes, spinach and other ingredients of plant origin;
• canned fish - various types of fish combined with vegetables.

It is worth noting that among the assortment there are many flavor options, so you will certainly be able to choose one that your pet will like.

Which food should you choose for your pet?

Let us note right away that the manufacturer honestly admits that there is meat in its food. Basically. The principle size is 4%. The rest of the protein is soy, etc. There are also dyes, flavors and other synthetic harmful substances.

And the manufacturer did not rack his brains and invent a variety of diets for cats, limiting himself to one target audience - adult animals. Therefore, if you choose food from this brand, you only need to decide on the taste that your pet will like.

FELIX® (“Appetizing Pieces” and “Double Pleasure”) comes in the following flavors:

• cod
• Trout with green beans
• Chicken
• Chicken with tomato
• Turkeys
• Ducks
• Salmon
• Salmon with zucchini
• Flounder
• Lamb
• Beef and carrots, etc.

The manufacturer promises that all menus are suitable for daily nutrition, as well as for kittens.

Read reviews of other foods:

• holistic feed;
• Purina;
• Whiskas;
• Kitiket.

Compound

One of the most popular types of ready-made food for animals is Felix cat food. Reviews from veterinarians are mostly positive; it is perfectly balanced and has great nutritional value.

This is due to its composition, which includes the following components:

• meat or fish - at least 4 percent of the total packaging volume;
• vegetable protein;
• minerals - iron and zinc 10 milligrams of product, manganese - 2 mg, copper - 0.9 mg, iodine - 0.3 mg per kilogram of product;
• vitamins - A and D3;
• sugar.

Thus, by eating this food, the animal receives the vitamins and macroelements necessary for its normal functioning.

Felix food for cats

"Felix" is an economy class cat food. This brand belongs to ]Purina[/anchor], founded at the end of the 19th century. The company's founders were George Robinson, Will Andrews and William Danforth, and their first products were created from corn, oats and molasses. The main person who created the largest corporation "Purina" is considered to be William Danforth, since it was he who created the new production after the devastating hurricane in 1896.

In addition to Felix, Purina also produces other products (food, treats, fillers) for cats and dogs. The most popular foods from Purina include Pro Plan (including a veterinary diet), Cat Chow, Purina One, Friskies, Darling. , Gourmet (“Gourmet”).

Brands owned by Purina Corporation occupy leading positions in the Russian market

What class does Felix food belong to?

Cat food is divided not only into types (dry and wet), but also into classes:

1. Economy is the class of the most budget food. They contain little meat, and the meat ingredients are mainly represented by processed products. This food is widely advertised and sold in almost any store that has a display of cat food. Example: “Whiskas”, “Kiteket”, “Friskies”, etc.
2. Premium implies a higher amount of animal protein in the composition, but a lower content of dyes, flavors and flavor enhancers. Examples: Hills, Purina Proplan, Royal Canin, etc.
3. Superpremium is food with a high content of meat, including natural meat. This food can only be purchased at veterinary pharmacies and pet stores. Their price is almost twice as high as that of their economy counterparts.
4. Holistic. This is the highest class of cat food. There can be up to 100% meat in this food. This is the most expensive cat food, it does not contain any synthetic additives, is not advertised, and is difficult to find. Most often, food of this class is ordered from online stores.

"Felix" belongs to the economy class. However, this does not mean that the product of this brand is of inferior quality. Some veterinarians and cat owners, as well as recipe developers, note that the composition of Felix is ​​better than the composition of its analogues. The price of "Felix" is low - a pouch with a volume of 85 grams costs from 20 rubles.

I am an avid cat lady, so I often communicate with breeders and veterinarians. Veterinarians have never recommended budget food to me, but holistic foods are not always available. I prefer to feed my cats healthy, natural food. If I go on a business trip (and this happens every 2-3 months), then my “cat children” stay with the men. Of course, in my absence no one wants to freeze and chop meat, choose the right pink trout or steam rice. That's why I fill the shelf in the refrigerator with store-bought food - usually inexpensive. My older cat has lived with me for about 4 years, but she has never been sick.

Felix food for cats occupy the same positions on store shelves as cheaper analogues

Advantages and disadvantages of Felix feed

The main advantages of the food:

• affordable price;
• You can buy “Felix” in any supermarket (“Atak”, “Magnit”, “Karavan”, etc.).
• the food contains natural meat or fish (at least 4%);
• The brand’s assortment includes not only wet food, but also dry food, as well as treats;
• there is a separate line for kittens;
• a wide variety of tastes.

The disadvantages of Felix food include the following factors:

• Some Felix foods contain flavorings and taste enhancers;
• many Felix food series contain allergenic components (for example, brewer's yeast);
• a veterinary line has not been developed (there are no preventive feeds either);
• the composition is not described in sufficient detail;
• Some cat owners complain that the food becomes addictive.

The main disadvantage of Felix food is its imperfect and incomplete composition

Energy value

One kilogram of feed has the following energy value:

• proteins - 13%;
• fats - 3%;
• fiber - 0.5%;
• raw ash - 2.2%.

Considering the balanced composition and high energy value, we can come to the conclusion that there are no dyes in the cat food. The food has a high calorie content, so it saturates the animal for a long period of time. Moreover, all components are of natural origin, which makes it absolutely safe for our little friends. The only thing that confuses me is the low meat content. In more expensive analogues, its share can reach 40 percent.

Composition, class and types of feed

Felix food belongs to the economy class category and, in comparison with products of the same level from other companies, has fairly high quality indicators.

Feed Felix

However, the low class of food is indicated by its price, which depends on the composition: the more expensive the food, the more natural ingredients it contains.

The composition of the feed can be considered using the example of “Felix. Delicious pieces. Double delicious." All components are listed on the back of the package:

1. Meat and offal, which include chicken and lamb at 4% respectively. The same situation is observed here as with most other foods (even better ones): the description does not say exactly how much meat is contained, how many processed products and what exactly is meant by this. The quantity of the ingredient (total percentage) is also not indicated. However, unlike Felix, high-quality products of a higher class contain a much higher percentage of chicken - about 45%.
2. Plant protein extract. The percentage of the component is not specified. This component helps strengthen the pet’s immunity and helps prevent the development of various diseases. In addition, plant protein is easier and faster to digest compared to animal proteins.
3. Fish and fish products. The quantity is also not indicated.
4. Added substances. This refers to minerals and vitamins, namely:

• vitamin A – supplies the body with energy, protects against bacterial infection, participates in the regulation of metabolism;
• vitamin D – promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine, participates in the mineralization of bone tissue;
• iron;
• iodine.

The last two elements help the body produce blood cells and maintain their normal state.

1. Dyes. Clearly the ingredient is useless and has no place in cat food.
2. Sugars and mineral salts. At their core, these are flavoring additives. Contained in small quantities, they increase the pet’s appetite.

Diversity

This is interesting. The presence of flavor enhancers in food is a serious drawback. They are added to food to stimulate appetite in cats. Natural super premium food does not immediately appeal to fastidious “gourmets”. This is a sign of quality. But, unfortunately, many owners are mistaken when they praise cheap food, which cats immediately pounce on and almost fight for portions. This is just a sign of low quality product. On the other hand, if we compare Felix with Whiskas, Kiteket, Friskies and other similar foods, the first will have a clear advantage over the others.

If the cat is completely healthy, then the consumption of Felix food is not limited in any way. Otherwise, it is better to abandon economy class food and switch to others, for example, natural food. Moreover, Felix products cannot boast of a medical line and do not provide options for feeding with restrictions (that is, for sterilized cats and neutered males).

In any case, most owners note that they did not find any digestive problems in their pets after feeding them Felix for a long time. And for those who fear that a serious illness will manifest itself later, veterinarians recommend taking the animal’s urine for analysis once every six months. Before switching to a new food, it is also recommended to get tested.

Felix can be used as:

Felix food is not divided into standard types (for everyday feeding, for feeding with restrictions and medicinal). There is still a line for kittens. Here are only different options for daily feeding without taking into account the age of the kitten. At the same time, due to its optimal composition, this product is quite suitable for both pregnant cats and sterilized pets.

For kittens

In order not to provoke the development of pathologies of the genitourinary system in castrated cats, it is not recommended to give them Felix dry food. In addition, food in this form is less digestible, which puts additional stress on the liver and kidneys - as a result, health problems are possible in the future.

According to the release form, Felix food comes in the following forms:

• wet;
• dry;
• canned food (sold in disposable packages or in sets that include various flavor mixtures);
• soups (an unusual innovation from the manufacturer).

On a note. Buying canned food in bulk will save money, but storing such products must strictly comply with the instructions

It is very important to use up all the food before the expiration date. An expired product (namely, its natural ingredients) loses its value and can harm the pet

Line of wet food

A separate line of the manufacturer's business is wet food, which is sold in the form of canned meat or in packaged containers with various flavor combinations.

The product line is divided into the following types:

• Sensations - canned food with incredibly tasty pieces of meat in aromatic jelly.
• “Sensations with amazing sauce” is a new wet food from Felix, reviews of which from owners claim that cats eat it with great pleasure. This is due to the fact that the meat is cooked in a spicy sauce.
• “Appetizing pieces” are canned meat designed for one-time meals.
• Party Mix are special granules with different flavors that are designed to be added to homemade food to enhance its taste.

“Felix” (wet food for cats), reviews of which claim that furry pets eat it well, in addition to the main ingredients, contains a complex of vitamins and macroelements, as well as various nutritional supplements necessary for the animal to grow strong and healthy.

Assortment and features of feed

"Felix" is dry and wet food, as well as treats.

The “Double Yummy” series food contains at least 30% protein

The “Double Yummy” series food contains at least 8% raw ash and 11% fat

Felix dry food bags are also made in blue colors

Felix wet food

Felix canned food is available in 85 gram bags. There are 5 series of this product:

1. Sensations with crunchy topping.
2. “Appetizing pieces. Double yummy” (2 types of meat in jelly).
3. “Appetizing pieces” (classic wet food).
4. “Sensation” with sauce (pieces of meat in liquid sauce).
5. "Sensations" with jelly.

The most unusual series of this brand is “Sensations”. This is a classic wet food (3 types of meat pieces in a thick sauce) with topping (small crickets in a separate bag). The product is produced in packages weighing 267 grams (3x85 and topping - 12 grams), and the price ranges from 100 rubles per package. Sensations with topping is the newest development from Felix, so for now this food is available in the form of two mixes:

1. “Appetizing fish platter” (cod, salmon, trout).
2. “Tasty assortment” (chicken, duck, liver).

Table: composition of Sensation food with topping

“Sensations” with topping is the newest development from Felix, so for now this food is available in only two flavors

“Appetizing pieces. Double Yummy" is a classic wet food with double flavor. The standard volume of a pouch is 85 grams, the price ranges from 20 rubles per bag. Flavors of food from the “Double Yummy” series:

• lamb/chicken;
• beef/poultry;
• trout/salmon;
• turkey/liver.

The “Appetizing Pieces” series food is available in the following (“single”) flavor variations:

• fish: salmon or trout;
• meat: lamb, beef or rabbit;
• chicken, chicken/tomatoes, turkey.

The same series produces single-serve pouches for kittens with the taste of chicken in jelly. “Baby food” has almost the same composition, but with more fiber, vitamins and minerals.

It should be understood that kittens are cats that have not reached one year of age. I couldn’t find options for kittens in nearby stores, and I had to go to a distant pet store. Among other economy-class products, there are no “baby” foods available in specialized stores. Our veterinarian says that giving a kitten food intended for adults is extremely dangerous. The baby’s digestive system may not be able to cope with such a load, and this threatens severe disruptions in the functioning of the entire body. Some owners have had kittens die after eating adult food.

“Children’s” food from “Felix” is packaged in dense pouches of standard size (bag volume - 85 grams)

“Mouthwatering Bites” and “Double Yummy” contain the following ingredients:

• meat and fish components (fillets and offal of poultry, beef, rabbit, lamb or fish);
• vegetable protein (including vegetable concentrates: tomatoes, carrots, beans);
• minerals, vitamins (A, D3, E, taurine);
• dyes, sugars, amino acids (Omega-6 fatty acids);
• trace elements (iodine, iron, manganese, copper, zinc).

All Purina Felix brand products are available in blue packaging

Each bag of Felix food has a stripe, the color of which indicates the taste of the canned food (for example, blue - sea fish, pink - chicken, etc.)

The composition and guaranteed indicators are indicated on the back of the package

On the back of the spider there are recommendations for feeding your cat Felix canned food.

Manufacturers place great emphasis on the content of beneficial amino acids and vitamins in the feed.

“Felix” has 2 more series of “Sensations” - with sauce and with jelly. These options are available in the same bags as other foods of this brand (volume - 85 grams, average price - 20 rubles per bag). Both are soft pieces of meat or fish, but with one difference - the food contains liquid sauce or transparent jelly as a flavorful component. Sensations in sauce is available in unusual flavors:

• beef with tomatoes;
• cod with tomatoes;
• turkey with bacon;
• duck with carrots.

Often the name of the food on the packaging is just an advertising ploy. For example, the product “Sensation, cod in sauce with tomatoes” is a standard Felix brand food, in which cod (or its processed products) can contain up to 4%. And the same number of tomatoes can be contained in the sauce. Additives in the form of herbs or vegetables are not visible, since the sauce liquid has a uniform consistency.

Felix Sensations in sauce contains 79% moisture

"Felix Sensations" sauce contains more than 13% protein and more than 3% fat

Felix Sensations food contains 0.1% crude fiber in sauce

The energy value of Felix Sensations food in sauce is 81 kcal per 100 grams

Sensations food with jelly is available in the following flavors:

This version of Felix food is good because the jelly is a transparent substance in which pieces of vegetables and herbs are visible. Although the percentage of these additives is the same as in the sauce.

The energy value of Sensations wet food with jelly is 75.6 kcal per 100 grams of product

The delicacy consists of 3 types of crickets in one package weighing 20 or 60 grams (a small package costs 65 rubles). 4 types of this product have been developed:

How does Felix differ from other Purina brands?

"Felix" is a unique cat food from Purina in the cheapest price segment. “Felix” is cheaper than “Proplan” and veterinary diets, “meatier” than its analogues and more complete than “Gourmet”. You can feed your pet canned food and Felix crickets every day (however, some veterinarians do not recommend feeding your cat economy food at all).

"Felix" differs from other economy class foods in that it contains meat (albeit a small amount)

Feeding tips

So, can Felix dry food be used to feed pets? Reviews about it are more often positive than negative, and can be given to all cats that do not suffer from allergic reactions when consuming it.

But the manufacturer himself gives the following feeding recommendations:

1. You should not give your pets too large portions, as overeating can cause serious health complications. The best option would be to use food from the “Appetizing Pieces” series, one package of which is designed for one meal.
2. Replace your animal's drinking water in a timely manner. The thing is that for normal absorption of Felix food in the body, the pet must drink a large amount of liquid.
3. When using dry or wet food, it is not recommended to give cats other types of food.

If you follow these tips, Felix food will not cause any health problems for your animal (reviews from consumers and veterinarians will be discussed at the end of the article).

Advantages of Felix cat food

The good things about these foods are that they have a wide range of options; there is wet food in jelly and in sauce. It is sold in most supermarkets and stores that sell pet supplies. The price is slightly higher than for economy-class food, but the difference in cost between Felix and, for example, Whiskas is insignificant.

Regarding the composition, it can be noted that Felix food does contain meat, but its amount is small - about 4%, the rest of the meat components are by-products and processed meat products. Some varieties of wet food contain vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, spinach, etc.), which makes the food beneficial for the cat's digestion and adds vitamins and nutrients.

The positive side of Felix dry food is the light weight of the packaging, that is, you can diversify the animal’s menu by opening a new package with a new taste every day. Small packages do not allow the food to dissipate or become damp, while food in large bags sometimes loses its odor and the granules become soft.

Reviews from veterinarians about Nestle products

Cats are carnivores by nature, so it is vital for them to eat meat and fish. Felix cat food contains all these components. Reviews from veterinarians about this product are mixed. Some recommend it for pets, while others argue that 4 percent meat for one meal is very little. But if we take all the products in this price range, then the food from Nestlé Purina PetCare is ideal in terms of price and quality ratio. This is due to the fact that Felix ready-made food is much better balanced.

Some veterinarians are convinced that these foods are suitable for feeding only healthy animals that do not have hypersensitivity to any of the components included in the canned food. If your pet has a weak body or has problems with the functioning of the digestive system, then in this case it is better not to use Felix food. Feedback from veterinarians on this matter is clear: for sick kittens and adults, it is better to choose more expensive and high-quality products. This is due to the fact that such foods are developed and produced taking into account the specifics of cat diseases.

It is worth noting that many experts advise pet owners to bring their pet for urine testing after a month of feeding one type of ready-made food. This will allow you to understand how well it suits the characteristics of the animal’s body and how it affects its well-being.

ROYAL CANIN – PREMIUM FOOD

Dry food and canned food of this brand consist of high-quality raw materials. They are grain and soy free. Premium food contains a lot of nutrients and microelements. Dyes and preservatives are present, but in very moderate quantities. The Royal Canin line includes specially developed medicated foods for different breeds of cats and kittens.

The opinion of veterinarians about such nutrition is contradictory. Experts often prescribe a therapeutic diet for cats, which includes Royal Canin food. They trust veterinary food of this brand, since it is balanced taking into account a specific disease. Everyday feeds are suitable for daily consumption, but should not be aggravated by them.

Check out Isoniazid for dogs and learn about its action. Read about the treatment of dogs with Gamavit. What dosage will be correct.

Veterinarians advise alternating Royal Canin with regular homemade food.

Consumer Reviews

Reviews of Felix food from consumers are very contradictory. There are both supporters and opponents of this product. Such a resonant picture is explained by the fact that this ready-made food is one of the best-selling in our country. According to a large number of owners of furry pets, Felix canned food does not cause any negative effects and is safe for cats of any age category. Allergic reactions do not occur even with prolonged use of the same type of dry or wet Felix food. At the same time, the animals grow and develop well, they are always in a playful mood, and they are very active. There are also no problems with digestive system disorders.

Consumers prefer these foods for their high quality. With long-term feeding with Felix, the animals look completely healthy. Also, many are satisfied with the low cost of products. Which is important these days, since not all pet owners can afford to feed their pets expensive food.

But there are also a large number of people dissatisfied with Felix cat food. Reviews from indignant customers claim that you cannot feed your animals with this ready-made food due to the low percentage of meat components. As a rule, this opinion is held by wealthier consumers with a high level of income, who can buy expensive feed. This can be explained by the fact that the more expensive the product, the higher its cost, and therefore the quality. Therefore, here everyone must proceed from their financial capabilities.

Feed classification

Cat foods don't just vary in type (dry or wet). They are divided into classes:

• Economy
  - budget, cheapest food.
  They do not contain much meat; they are replaced by processed meat ingredients. And artificial colors, odor and taste enhancers give them an appetizing appearance. Such foods are widely advertised and are available even in small stores. This class includes the products "Kiteket", "Whiskas" or "Friskies"
  .
• Premium
  – more expensive food.
  They contain a normal amount of natural animal proteins and a much smaller percentage of artificial additives. For example, food "Proplan", "Hills"
  .
• Super premium
  – products with a high content of natural meat. They cost twice as much as economy class products. Sold in pet stores or specialized veterinary pharmacies.
• Holistic
  is the highest class cat food. They are distinguished by their 100% natural meat content and the complete absence of synthetic additives. Feeds of this class are expensive and it is quite difficult to find them on sale.

"Felix" is an economy class food. Which in no way means lower quality. This can be judged by reviews from veterinarians, breeders and owners. They claim that Felix food is in no way inferior in quality to other brands, and in some characteristics and balanced formulation it even surpasses its analogues. The food also has a lower price. On average, one bag costs twenty rubles, which distinguishes Felix from other foods.

Reviews from experts

I think, if possible, it is better to buy higher quality food for your pet. However, it should be noted that there is no evidence regarding Felix’s harm to animals. But a high content of unnatural ingredients can negatively affect a cat’s health, especially when it comes to regular consumption. Today Felix is ​​the best option for economy class products.

In my opinion, Felix is ​​the best option from the budget line of food, but it should not be abused. Many owners feed their four-legged friends only Felix, but this is not the best option. It seems to me that it is optimal to give it as a treat to natural food, and only if the animal is absolutely healthy.

Lately, Felix cat food has been regularly and obsessively advertised on TV. Because of this, many visitors are interested in the safety of products of this brand. Owners must be careful. It is quite suitable for householders who are not spoiled by delicacies. However, for purebred or sick animals, it is better to choose a higher class food. In addition, 4% of meat ingredients is not enough for normal development.
