Innova EVO: a healthy nutrition philosophy for your cat

March 19, 2018

Natura Pet Products entered the cat food market back in 2004, presenting its Innova Evo product line, calling it a revolution in the cat diet system. As an advertisement, at first the food was given out for free. This allowed any cat owner to provide a new food for their pet to taste. At that time, the market did not offer many high quality feeds. Therefore, the release of Innova Evo, which for the first time did not contain a less useful ballast ingredient - grain, was a real event.

Natura Pet Products adheres to the following philosophy regarding its products: the food produced should be as similar in composition as possible to the diet of wild cats of antiquity. Innova Evo is one of the most popular and favorite food series among consumers.

Images and reality

Externally, the bag of food looks quite attractive.
Bright colors on a white background and a photo of a cat attract attention. We were interested in the image of the ingredients: we always compare these pictures with the actual composition of the diet. In this product, as in most cases, the photos on the packaging do not correspond to the composition, but serve only as an advertising gimmick

Judge for yourself: a fresh, beautiful piece of tuna is just a symbol, since tuna flour (also a source of animal protein, but not of the same quality) was actually added to this food. She has place No. 5 in the composition, and takes up 10% of the diet

In this product, as in most cases, the photos on the packaging do not correspond to the composition, but serve only as an advertising gimmick. Judge for yourself: a fresh, beautiful piece of tuna is just a symbol, since tuna flour (also a source of animal protein, but not of the same quality) was actually added to this food. She has place No. 5 in the composition, and takes up 10% of the diet.

The situation is approximately the same with the image of fresh cranberries on the packaging. The food contains cranberry extract (No. 19) - a special processed concentrate, but no fresh cranberries were added here. This is just an illustration and should not be taken literally.

Evo Red Mea

Grain-free food of excellent quality, which includes two types of dehydrated meat (venison, lamb), two types of herring and poultry flour, potatoes and other vegetables, cottage cheese, fresh chicken eggs. This composition is highly nutritious and, judging by the way dogs perceive it, has an excellent taste.

The food is produced for dogs of small and large breeds in the form of canned food with meat fillings.

Some feeding recommendations

The animal must be accustomed to the Trainer food gradually, as with any dry food, although the transition period passes quickly. If the animal is accustomed to new food, then you can take a product with a different taste. A one-time norm should be established and strictly observed, and the cat should not be allowed to pass it on. Veterinarians advise choosing combined feeding: alternating dry granules with a wet formula and ordinary food. Such food, in their opinion, is ideal for an animal that needs a diet: it does not contain a large percentage of fat

The components of the mixture stabilize the weight of the quadruped. It is important that the cat always has water in a separate bowl, but this product does not cause a “burning thirst”, as happens with cheap food.

Questions that the buyer may have

Dry food storage

Dry food should be stored in a cool place with low humidity, preferably protected from direct sunlight. In this case, the top part of the bag should be tightly wrapped and secured with a paper clip. It is not recommended to pour food into food containers. If such a need arises, then the entire bag of food should be placed in the container. Opened packages can be stored for 90 days.

Wet food storage

Cans of wet food are stored in a dark place, protected from high temperatures. You can store opened jars in the refrigerator for 72 hours under a plastic lid.

Thermal treatment of feed

Innova feed does not require additional heat treatment. All products are either baked or canned immediately before release.

Is it possible to give a cat dog food?

Cats should not be given dog food as it digests slowly and can cause harm to the digestive system. As a last resort, you can feed dogs cat food, but such nutrition is incomplete.

Accustoming an animal to a new type of food

New food should be introduced into your cat's diet gradually. To accustom an animal to wet food, mix it into the animal's main diet, gradually increasing the amount of new food and negating the previous food. Give your animal dry food one to three times a day, gradually increasing the portion. This process usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. If your cat has an upset stomach, you should stop feeding the new type of food until the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is restored.

Assortment and features of feed

All Probalance cat food can be divided into 2 groups - for adult cats and kittens. Food for the smallest is limited to one line of complete food (crickets and canned food), while food for adult cats includes several lines of dry and wet food.

Probalance food for adult cats

All wet food of this brand for adult cats are available in the form of pouches and canned food. Each series of food is available in several flavors (salmon, chicken, veal and rabbit). Current assortment:

• “Sensitive” (for cats with capricious digestion);
• “Active” (for energetic cats);
• “Sterilized” (for sterilized and neutered cats);
• "Immuno Protection" (to maintain immunity).

Dry food is represented by the following products:

• "Immuno Protection";
• "Sterilized";
• "Sensitive";
• “Hair and Beauty” (to maintain the beauty of the coat and healthy skin of cats).

These products can be combined with each other, but it is not recommended to confuse this food with a product from another manufacturer. For example, I buy Sterilized dry food for my older cat, and Active canned food for my younger cat (she is more active and spends more energy). But if I run out of crickets for a sterilized cat, I can safely give her wet food, since they are not mutually exclusive.

Composition of “adult” food

The content of food components may vary depending on the type and line of food. Ingredients listed:

• raw protein (including raw meat);
• crude fat, fiber and ash;
• vitamins A, D, E, group B, H, taurine;
• minerals: calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, selenium;
• flaxseed is a source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids;
• lysine (responsible for the animal’s immunity);
• L-carnitine (for weight control);
• prebiotics;
• phytocomplex Fitocare for cats;
• Yucca Schidigera extract (reduces fecal odor).

Fitocare for cats is a patented set of medicinal herbs that has a general strengthening and tonic effect

Food "Probalance" for kittens

Baby food of this brand is represented by only 1 line - Kitten 1`st diet. It can be fed to kittens of any breed. There are dry and wet complete food Kitten 1`st diet.

Baby food "Probalance" is available in only 3 packaging options - 85 g pouches, as well as 400 g and 10 kg bags of dry food

Table: characteristics of dry and wet food for kittens

Probalance for kittens contains the same components as the product for adult cats, only in a different percentage. Some baby owners are afraid to accustom their pet to ready-made food since childhood, so the Kitten 1`st diet packaging contains special instructions, including a table for calculating the daily diet.

When I introduced my kitten to store-bought food, I first went to the vet. He calculated the approximate amount of calories required for the normal development and growth of a kitten, and compiled an approximate feeding schedule for several months. I hung these recommendations on the refrigerator, so all feedings took place “on the clock.”

On the bags and 400 g bags there is a table of the daily diet and recommendations for feeding adult cats and kittens

Which series should you choose for your pet?

Innova EVO dog food is presented in several lines: Innova evo, Red Meat and Reduced Fat, which are divided into series according to the age, weight and breed of the animal, which is indicated on each package.

Innova evo

This series is suitable for all adult dogs and puppies; there is a separate division into breeds. But the diet options differ only in the size of the croquettes, composition, and flavor solutions. You can give food from three months of life to seven years. There are about 10 options to choose from, in addition to wet canned food.

Red Meat Series

In the Red Meat line, almost all food is presented in the form of canned food, so it is considered high in protein, protein and nutritious. The peculiarity of the diet is a large amount of meat, from 60%, and an almost complete absence of other components besides vitamins. The food is suitable for adult dogs of all breeds and for active pets from one year of age.

Reduced Fat

The Reduced Fat series is a therapeutic, hypoallergenic diet that is aimed at preventing obesity, getting rid of dermatitis, and constipation. Suitable food for adult dogs and aging animals. The basis of nutrition is a large amount of venison, chicken and turkey; additionally vegetables, cottage cheese, eggs, chondroitin, fish meat, and mineral complexes are used.

Remember that you can hardly find Innova evo canned and dry food on the domestic market, and the existing options are represented by only a few flavors for mature dogs and puppies.

join the discussion

In recent years, ready-made cat food has become a particularly popular food for pets. They are not only balanced and very nutritious, but also quite economical, because owners do not waste time preparing them for their pets. In this article, we will take a closer look at the highest quality cat foods, their classification, expensive and budget options, and also read reviews from veterinarians and owners.

Feed to replace Wellkiss

"Wellkiss" can be replaced with feed of all classes. However, it is better not to replace a premium product with budget types of food; it is better to opt for one of the following classes:

1. Premium (Royal Canin, Mealfeel, etc.).
2. Super premium (Pronature Original, Sanabelle, Gina, etc.).
3. Holistic (Gina Elite, Grandorf, Innova Evo, etc.).

Table: replacement feed

What are holistics and where did they come from?

In 2004, the American company Natura Pet Products introduced consumers to its first line of grain-free pet food, Innova Evo. At the same time, with the light hand of the manufacturer, the lexicon of felinologists (cat specialists) and cat owners was enriched with the new term “holistic” - “holistic”, “full”. The company argued that the new Evo holistic food follows the principle of “the value of the whole is greater than the value of each individual part”, and a harmonious combination of balanced ingredients can have a beneficial effect on the health of the animal:

• strengthening your pet's immunity;
• mobilizing the body's reserve forces in case of illness;
• facilitating and accelerating recovery;
• successfully solving the problem of food allergies;
• normalizing digestion.

In addition, the manufacturer insisted, the new products have a number of additional advantages:

1. Made from “human grade” ingredients suitable for human nutrition.
2. They have a mandatory content of essential nutrients confirmed by a guaranteed analysis:
   crude protein (protein) – at least 30% for dry food and at least 8% for wet food;
3. fat - at least 8% for dry food and at least 4% for wet food;
4. dietary fiber (fiber) - maximum 10% for dry food and maximum 3% for wet food.
5. Enriched with essential vitamins and minerals and are a balanced, complete product.
6. They do not contain synthetic preservatives, flavors, dyes or ballast fillers.
7. They are well digestible (85–90%) and quickly satiate, so that the animal requires a small recommended daily portion of food.

In full accordance with its name, the products of the American company represented an innovation in the pet food market and had practically no serious competitors. Thus, through the efforts of Natura Pet Products, a new ultra-premium class has appeared in the classification of cat food - the holistic class, the ancestor of which was the Innova Evo line.

Holistic (ultra-premium) food, together with super-premium class food, form the top of the “classification pyramid” of industrial cat food

Gina food for cats

Gina is a Canadian brand of high quality cat food. This food cannot be found on the shelves of regular stores; cat owners have to order it from an official distributor or in specialized places. The importer of this product is Russian (St. Petersburg), but it is produced in different countries (depending on the type of feed). These products have been sold in Russia since 1996.

Gina cat food can only be purchased at specialized sites.

A little about feed manufacturers

Dry and wet food of the Gina brand, as well as Gina Elite crickets, are produced in different brands from Gina Elite, produced in Canada (Spectrum Feed Services Ltd). Representatives of this company claim that this product can safely be called holistic, since the concept of Human grade (“can be eaten by a person”) is applicable to the composition of the food. Gina dry food is produced in Denmark at the Vital Petfood Group plant, founded in 1997. Vital Petfood Group is considered one of the largest companies in Scandinavia.

Gina wet food is also produced at a large high-tech plant. This enterprise (Thai Union Manufacturing Co. Ltd.) has been operating for about 40 years and is located in Thailand. Not only animal feed is produced here, but also other canned products (for example, fish and seafood). The company is distinguished by its attitude to environmental issues; therefore, international environmental standards are strictly observed in production.

Gina brand canned cat food is produced in Asia

Belonging of the food “Gina” to the class

Breeders and veterinarians conventionally divide cat food into 4 classes: economy, premium, superpremium and holistic. Products of these classes differ in composition, price and availability:

1. Economy is the cheapest food. The main source of protein in such products are processed plant materials, and meat may be completely absent. The taste and smell of meat or fish is achieved through flavoring agents and flavor enhancers (including synthetic ones). Such foods require aggressive advertising, and they are available in every store.
2. Premium is inexpensive food of good quality. They may contain meat (or offal), vitamins and mineral supplements, and flavorings and preservatives may be natural. Among such foods you can find products from a veterinary or preventative line, although veterinarians sometimes do not advise feeding a cat such food. Premium foods are advertised less frequently and can be purchased in pet stores.
3. Super premium is high quality food that uses natural meat, rice, vegetables, etc. Such food has high nutritional and energy value and contains many vitamins and minerals essential for health. Super-premium products are more expensive than premium and “economy” ones, they are hardly advertised, and you can buy them in specialized stores or online platforms.
4. Holistic is a food of the highest category. They contain environmentally friendly products (natural meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, extracts of medicinal herbs, etc.). Even humans can eat such food, since it can contain up to 100% meat. Such food can only be purchased from an official distributor, and the price is the highest.

The developers of Gina food call their products super-premium class holistic (although these classes differ from each other). Some cat owners consider Gina Elite a holistic food, but veterinarians classify both Gina and Gina Elite as super premium foods.

Advantages and disadvantages of the product

The main advantages of Gina food include the following factors:

• wide range (there are lines for cats of different ages, a variety of tastes, etc.);
• high quality ingredients (feed components are not frozen before use);
• safety of consumption (meat and fish raw materials are obtained without the use of antibiotics);
• hypoallergenic (Gin recipes contain a minimal amount of allergens);
• the composition contains flavoring and aromatic additives of a non-synthetic nature;
• Gina and Gina Elit food recipes contain probiotics that are useful for preventing diseases of the digestive system.

Main disadvantages of the products:

• “Gina” food has a weaker composition than “Gina Elite”;
• Not every pet store can order this product;
• relatively high price.

In some cases, you can save money by taking part in special promotions from manufacturers and distributors

Characteristics of holistic class feeds

Holistic nutrition can be recognized by the Holistic label on the packaging.
It was first used by the American company Innova. There is no clear definition of this type of food; there are also no GOSTs or legally declared quality standards. The main differences between holistic products are high quality and a completely natural, balanced composition that is beneficial for cats. In appearance, holistic food differs little from ordinary food - the main difference is in its ingredients

Signs of holistic nutrition

Currently, holistic products are usually identified as a separate type, included in the super-premium group: they can be called a new generation of this type of food. But not all super premium foods are holistic.

Do not forget also that food may be labeled Holistic, but not be so - this remains at the discretion of the manufacturer. It's best to be vigilant and remember some signs of quality. Moreover, there may not be special markings on the packaging of holistic medicine - first of all, you need to focus on the composition of the product and other signs:

• on feed from American or Canadian manufacturers there must be a mention of AAFCO (American Association of Governmental Food Control) - this regulatory body monitors how well the product meets the nutritional needs of the animal;
• always look at the composition of the food, it should not include cheap ingredients that are useless for your pet (see table below);
• in the first place in the composition there should be protein, and with a specific indication of the type of meat, ideally it contains at least two types of protein;
• the food must have composition analysis data showing the values ​​of four nutrients - crude protein, fat, fiber and moisture: the minimum value of protein in dry food for healthy cats is 30%, fat - 8%, fiber should contain no more than 10%;
• for wet food - protein at least 8%, fat at least 4%, fiber - 3% or less.

When choosing food, be sure to check its composition

Table: holistic feed ingredients

Advantages and disadvantages

Based on the above, let’s summarize the advantages of holistic feeds:

• natural ingredients that minimize the risk of pet allergies;
• balanced composition, including everything a cat needs for a healthy life;
• economical - since holistic food is a highly nutritious product, the cat needs less of it to be full than usual.

But, of course, there are some downsides:

• high price;
• since it does not contain taste improvers or flavorings, the cat may not appreciate the delicious treat at first;
• Not all stores have holistic products.

General feeding recommendations

The formation of a cat's taste preferences occurs at an early age. The owner must take this into account and accustom him to a specific diet and diet from newborn age. Adult cats should not be switched to a new food through extreme measures; this can lead to digestive problems and stress. Any changes in diet should be made gradually and carefully.

The right choice of bowls is important: they should be comfortable, stable, and made of safe, odorless materials. For solid food, massive bowls that are difficult to move are suitable; for water, plates that are convenient to lap from. It is advisable for the cat to see the fluid level. Dry food is poured into deep bowls to prevent the granules from scattering in different directions. Ideal materials for cookware are metal, porcelain or ceramics. Plastic bowls in bright colors scratch easily, harbor germs, and can release toxic substances.

The cat owner should monitor the freshness of water and food, especially if the animal eats dry food. Food should be at room temperature: you should not offer your cat hot meat or cold pate. Veterinarians warn against feeding refrigerated foods to pets.

What to choose

Sometimes an ordinary breeder gets lost and doesn’t know which cat food to choose. Inexpensive, but of high quality will be considered premium. If the cat is healthy, does not experience problems with the gastrointestinal tract and does not suffer from allergic reactions, then you can opt for this line. You can always choose the appropriate option from the samples presented.

If the cat has suffered a serious illness, has been neutered, or has been prescribed a treatment menu, then it is necessary to consider food from the super premium series. In this case, you can choose a diet that fully satisfies the animal’s needs and helps it maintain normal health.

Food from the holistic series is recommended for show cats and individuals that are used for breeding and continuation of the pedigree. This menu maintains the natural beauty of the coat, teeth and general standard of appearance.

Owners who have different animals in the house often ask whether dogs eat cat food. Of course, it completely satisfies them in terms of taste, but the nutritional value may not be enough. Therefore, a completely different menu is provided for them.

Top quality products for kittens, according to veterinarians and breeders

It is equally important to use specialized wet food for the smallest cats. We must not forget that at the stage of growing up the animal must receive useful substances and components more than ever.

And again, the same resources will help you decide on this matter - Otzovik, Ozon and irecommend.

Gourmet Gold with veal

Price – 29 rub.

Returning to the topic of cans - and again the golden Gourmet collection, only this time for kids. The volume is still the same - 85 g, but it contains only veal and fish. And also iron, zinc, copper, manganese and iodine. There is also a whole range of vitamins, including D3, which is so important for the development and strengthening of bone tissue, as well as taurine.

The consistency of the canned food is more like a homogeneous pate than individual pieces in jelly. But this is not so bad - even when they are very small, kittens do not choke.

I like it I don't like it

very gentle food with a delicate composition that cannot harm; the consistency is suitable for diluting into a thick puree soup - kittens eat with pleasure; does not cause allergies; high quality jar with key.

at the beginning, a short-term stool disorder is possible; There is a lot of oil that forms a specific film on the surface of the product.

Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive

Price – 60 rub.

Royal Canin spiders are hardly cheap, but they are worth it. The natural composition, rich in vitamins and minerals, which includes selected meat, grains, offal and protein extracts of plant origin, will not harm even the smallest pets with digestive problems.

It is noteworthy that this product is suitable for hyperactive animals, as well as pregnant and lactating cats. That is, you can buy for the entire cat family, which is very convenient.

I like it I don't like it

high-quality products with useful composition; versatility; more uniform consistency, reminiscent of pate; convenient jar.

and again frequently encountered Russian-made fakes - beware! high price.

PRO PLAN Nutri Savor Junior: turkey + beef

Price – 42 rub.

And now spiders from Purina, which, like products for adult animals, have the same release form in the form of a 4+1 set. The aromatic mixture of natural beef and turkey with a delicate, homogeneous consistency cannot be left without the attention of the younger generation, and all four-legged pets in general.

Breeders can safely trust this manufacturer, who did not add harmful chemicals to canned food, even in the context of flavorings, flavor enhancers and other similar components.

I like it I don't like it

good food at an average price; a real storehouse of vitamins and nutrients in the composition; Suitable for adding to adult food.

inaccessibility - these products cannot be found in all stores; more expensive packaging compared to promotional ones; limited number of mixes and no chicken.

Perfect Fit Junior, chicken in sauce

Price – 24 rub.

The name speaks for itself - canned food is intended for the most active little fidgets, providing their body with everything necessary. Taurine, a whole group of vitamins and minerals – you can find many different benefits in this popular product. And most importantly, everything is natural and 100 percent safe.

I like it I don't like it

cats really like this food - they tolerate it well and often ask for more; relatively affordable offer.

a rather pronounced specific smell, although it does not repel kittens at all and even vice versa; There are canned goods with a large fraction.

Cat Chow, with turkey and zucchini

Price – 26 rub.

The rating of the best foods for babies is completed by this slightly atypical product, which includes not only meat, but also vegetable products, and in particular, zucchini. Well, this is a completely reasonable decision by the manufacturer, because cats also need fiber-rich vegetables.

Buyers will also be pleased with other components, including vitamins A and D, necessary for the full development of pets, and many other useful components.

I like it I don't like it

canned food with a good smell and taste - cats confirm with plates licked to a shine; good natural composition of the product.

large pieces are not uncommon, which, to put it mildly, is not very welcome in wet food for small kittens, since they make the chewing process difficult.

As you can see, even top-end foods have their drawbacks, although all of them are too insignificant to be attached to in any way.

Don’t forget to pay attention to expiration dates and production dates, remembering how famously unscrupulous sellers counterfeit them

Compound

Components:

• meat and meat derivatives: turkey, chicken, duck, chicken liver, chicken fat;
• fish: salmon, herring, fish oil;
• eggs;
• cottage cheese;
• vegetable oils;
• vegetables, fruits and plant components: apples, peas, tapioca, alfalfa sprouts, cranberries, tomatoes, chicory root, pumpkin, rosemary extract;
• natural starch, guar gum, salt, prebiotics;
• vitamins and minerals: A, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, D, carbonate, potassium iodate and chloride, zinc, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt.

Your cat should not lack drinking water! This is especially dangerous if the cat eats only dry food. Keep the drinking bowl clean, change the water 2 times a day. The liquid can either be purified using a kitchen filter or allowed to settle.

Conclusions and recommendations

It's fair to say that the best wet cat food definitely contains meat that is visible to the naked eye once the can is opened. There are no grains, salt or sugar, or unknown ingredients. At the same time, your cat likes this food.

Prices for good wet food are never low, usually from 50 to 120 rubles per jar of 70-85 g. If you see “super-duper healthy wet food” in the supermarket (the labels on the packaging literally scream about this) with a price of only 16 rubles per bag (pouch) 80 g - we can say with 99% confidence that this is bad food.

In general, we hope our article was useful. Now you know which wet food for cats is better to choose, and also how to look at the composition to understand whether this food is good or its quality is in great doubt.

Questions that the buyer may have

Dry food storage

Dry food should be stored in a cool place with low humidity, preferably protected from direct sunlight. In this case, the top part of the bag should be tightly wrapped and secured with a paper clip.
