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.

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

Advantages and disadvantages

Probalance has many more advantages than disadvantages. Previously, many people found fault with the company due to the presence of unsafe ingredients in its products. Now this drawback has been completely eliminated, so these feeds are practically the best in the premium segment. It is worth considering that due to the change in composition, the price of the product increased by 20%.

Advantages

The main advantages of Probalance products:

1. affordable price;
2. a wide range of;
3. excellent composition (without harmful components and by-products).

The company is developing, improving production technologies and, in general, trying in every possible way to please the consumer. The price-quality ratio of the product is really good, especially when compared with other premium food products.

Flaws

1. The only drawback is inaccessibility. Probalance products are not available in all pet stores. The easiest way to order it is online.
2. The lowest prices can be found on the distributor's website. But here it is worth considering that the minimum order amount from this online store is 1,700 rubles. Therefore, it will not be possible to buy one small package of 400 grams; you will have to immediately buy at least 10 kilos of food.

Consumption rate, advantages, disadvantages

Each pack of Probalance food comes with detailed instructions. The product must be used taking into account the recommended dosages. The daily rate of its consumption is determined by the body weight of the animal:

• less than 2 kg - no more than 60 g;
• 3 kg - from 60 to 70 g;
• 4 kg - from 70 to 80 g;
• 5 kg - from 80 to 90 g;
• more than 6 kg - from 90 to 100 g.

If the body weight does not correspond to the age category of a domestic cat or there are any doubts about the animal’s health, it is better to consult a veterinarian in advance. This will allow you to avoid the negative consequences of consuming Probalance food and achieve maximum benefits.

This cat food has both pros and cons. The main advantages include an affordable price, a balanced composition and the presence of a large number of useful macro- and microelements. In addition, the Probalance product goes well with wet types of cat food.

One of the shortcomings is the lack of awareness . Thus, in some cases, the manufacturer does not indicate on the packaging what birds the product is made from. In addition, Probalance contains antioxidants. Despite the fact that these compounds can be beneficial for the cat's body, they can cause allergic manifestations and exacerbation of gastrointestinal pathologies.

Another drawback of the product is the lack of special additives for nursing and pregnant cats. Another disadvantage is the presence of peas in the composition. This product often causes bloating. This is not a problem for adults, but kittens should be given food especially carefully.

Despite the shortcomings, this product has decent quality for such an affordable price.

It was developed taking into account the characteristics of the cat's body and meets all necessary veterinary standards. Consumers love that the line includes food designed for spayed and neutered pets. You can buy food at any pet store. Its cost is from 18 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

When reviewing any food, you need to consider its advantages and disadvantages. Surely, you will be interested to know the advantages:

• only meat is used, not offal;
• the composition contains good vitamin and mineral components;
• the proteins in the feed are of animal origin;
• in addition to dry food, there is also wet food (pouches, canned food);
• presence of “Miko carba” in the diet;
• relatively low cost.

To be fair, it is necessary to point out the disadvantages:

• the food contains antioxidants of artificial origin (E321 and E320), which negatively affect health;
• can only be purchased in specialized stores; such food is not sold in a regular supermarket.

Important! Many of these advantages apply to other premium foods. However, combined with the unique features of Probalance food, they make it the most profitable purchase.

Reviews from veterinarians and cat owners

This cat food is suitable for most breeds. It contains amino acids, taurine, minerals and other beneficial substances. Despite the benefits, you need to give the product to your cat based on its weight. If the dosage is exceeded, the animal may experience digestive disorders and other negative manifestations. Comparing this complementary food with other similar products, we can highlight its affordable cost and relative safety.

Igor Plotnikov, veterinarian, Volgodonsk

Our cat Boris often walks outside. He recently ate something that caused him to have intestinal problems. The veterinarian recommended including the product “Probalance” in the cat’s diet. The pet’s digestive disorders resolved within 4-5 days. Now I will always add this food to the main menu. It is inexpensive and can be found in any pet store. But I prefer to order it online, on the manufacturer’s official website.

Alexey Batrov, Tyumen

At first I was somewhat confused by the fact that Probalance food is produced by a Russian company.
Previously, I fed my two kittens only imported products. However, I recently decided to try a cheaper Russian analogue. Animals enjoy using it. I noticed that since I introduced this bait into the diet, my pets have become more active and playful. The main thing is to calculate the exact amount of food for 1 meal. To do this you need to know the weight of the cat. Marina Fedorova, Samara

Yellow ruler

The series is designed to improve the functioning of the immune system. The food contains antioxidants and lysine. They strengthen the body's defenses. In addition, the product contains components that have a beneficial effect on joints and digestion. Reviews of Probalance cat food indicate that these products are inexpensive and of fairly high quality.

The series helps improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and prevents stool retention.

Feeding table

The daily amount of feed depends on several factors. It is necessary to take into account the type of dry diet, for example, Probalance for large breed puppies is divided into five doses per day and stored open for as short a time as possible. A standard diet at a certain age is also important. So, puppies up to three months should eat six times a day, from six months - three times. And after a year, twice feeding is enough. The exact dosages should be found on the packaging itself. But the standard numbers for both small and large dogs are:

A little about the manufacturer and production

There is a widespread opinion that a foreign product, although it costs an order of magnitude more, can boast of excellent quality, but domestic food is somewhat inferior in this regard, but at the same time their price tag is noticeably lower. Is it so?

The producers of ProBalance decided to refute this. No, we are not talking about exorbitant prices, but about decent quality. Despite the fact that this brand is relatively young, more and more people are taking a closer look at it. Naturally, the first thing they are interested in is how the food is prepared and what is included in it.

When producing rations, the same scheme is used. Ready-made components are delivered to the enterprise:

• meat in dehydrated (dehydrated) form;
• cereals;
• dried vegetables, etc.

They are combined in certain proportions and ground in a grinder. Then the resulting mass is mixed, moistened and subjected to heat treatment using high temperatures. This technique allows you to sterilize the mixture, from which dry food granules will subsequently be formed.

After that, boiled water is added to the mixture, and the pulp is sent to a special device, which gives the mass the usual appearance of dog food, and after drying, you get those dry, appetizing pieces that most pets like to crunch on.

But that’s not all - finally, useful substances are sprayed on top of the granules, enriching the diet with vitamins, minerals and other components with high biological activity. And they place the food in packaging that preserves its quality, aroma and taste.

Many scientific institutions are actively engaged in the study and development of vitamin and mineral supplements in order to obtain the most effective remedy. And the producers of ProBalance are no exception - their diets include a unique composition, Fitocare.

It consists of many extracts and extracts from medicinal plants. By the way, practicing veterinarians participated in the work on the composition, who know firsthand how difficult it is for dogs to tolerate a lack of any elements.

Fitocare components have a number of properties that positively affect the health of dogs:

• normalize metabolic processes;
• strengthen the immune system;
• protect the animal from ailments associated with the musculoskeletal system; help strengthen joints and bones;
• improve digestive processes;
• prevent the oxidation of free radicals – providing an active antioxidant effect;
• provide healthy vision;
• help maintain the reproductive functions of the body.

The composition can be called unique, having no analogues, especially since there are several compositions suitable for dogs at one time or another in their life.
