PERFECT FIT cat feeds are well known thanks to active advertising. In addition, you can buy them at any store at an affordable price. However, is it good and useful to pets for pets? Let's look together with its composition, let's stop at the merits and disadvantages of the diet.
general description
When the owners of the satuned fluffy are buying a snickers bar for themselves, and for a pet, the finfect fit feed is, they are unlikely to realize that both products produce the same company. More than 100 years ago, in 1911, an entrepreneur from the United States Frank Mars was created a firm called by the name of its founder.
At first, the enterprise specialized in the release of sweet bars. Products used so high demand that even in the period of the Great Depression, the company was able to increase its turns four times.
Years and the range of products was constantly expanding. Holding began producing not only delicacies, but also products for pets, including finished feed. In Russia, the products of this brand appeared only in the 90s, but already in 2007, there was a shop for home cats and dogs in Ulyanovsk.
To date, the company offers such a line of rations like Whiskas, Kitekat, as well as Royal Canin and Perfect Fit.
The finished diet of this brand belongs to the middle class. This means the absence of preservatives, flavors and taste amplifiers. At the same time, the product does not contain meat, this ingredient is only available in the feed of super premium and holistic. However, this does not mean that the feed is bad. For the manufacture of rations, high quality products are used.
Perfect Fit products are available in dry and wet shapes. Dry feeds contain from 20 to 24% dehydrated proteins, that is, dried protein. In wet feed, the percentage of meat-containing and sub-products reaches 14%. These parameters are stacked in standards for premium-segment.
However, the manufacturer stipulates that they do not use meat, but meat protein. This component can be obtained not only from the gentle and nutritious chicken breast. In most cases, raw materials are waste of the meat processing industry - leather, heads, paws, beaks and claws.
One of the main ingredients of the product is wheat. This is a cheap component, but it is a powerful allergen. If the animal is predisposed to food intolerance, this diet is not suitable for him.
Another point. The composition indicates the presence of several types of grain raw materials - rice, sections of wheat and corn. But the manufacturer does not indicate in what relationship uses them. The problem is that from all listed components, only rice is well absorbed by the pet organism, and it is the most expensive. Given the low cost of the product, it is impossible to exclude the fact that this product accounts for a minimum proportion.
A soybean concentrate is also used as the main sources of protein, which is pure vegetable protein, soy flour, as well as corn concentrate. However, it should be noted that the representatives of the feline family belong to the carnivorous animals.
Therefore, animal proteins are more important for them. Vegetable only contribute to saturation, but do not carry any utility for a fluffy pet
As additional components in the finished product introduced:
- Yeast - supplier of vitamins of group V. They contribute to improving the work of the central nervous system and increase the activity of the brain, the dried pulp of sugar beet - is a supplier of fiber. Vegetable fibers improve the intestinal peristalsis, contribute to the formation of felling masses, prevent the appearance of constipation.
- Schidiger Yucca is a component of plant origin. In the wild, it is found in the north-west of America. Contains a rich set of vitamins and minerals necessary for the full growth and development of the sucked fluffy. The product is useful for the gastrointestinal tract, helps better absorption food and eliminates the caustic smell of feline feces.
- Vitamin Mineral Complex - represented by nutrient food additives that contribute to an increase in animal immunity. Improves all organs and systems.
- Salt and chloride potassium - Taste additives, thanks to which the animal quickly gets used to a new diet.

- As part of the yeast - in contrast to beer yeast, this product may cause meteorism and fermentation in the intestine.
- A complete list of preservatives is not indicated on the bundle of the diet.

Review reviews
Reviews of Perfect Fit products are extremely contradictory. Users attracts their availability and budget costs. In addition, advertising promises them to provide pets with all the necessary substances for them. However, according to part of the hosts of fluffy pets, the analysis of the composition of the product gives food for doubt. The fact is that cats are carnivorous predatory creatures. Nature itself laid the need for meat in them. This means that the proportion of the protein in the diet should be the main one.
If feeding the animal cellulose, rice, millet or corn - you should not wait for it to live a long and happy life. In addition, the manufacturer does not indicate which part of the animal he gets proteins. Ideally, it should be a tender chicken breast. But in fact, the production of production - skin, insides, heads, feathers and bones is used.
Some consumers believe that the products of the Perfect Fit brand are needed with caution. The feed has a good quality and rich vitamin and mineral composition. However, they are suitable exclusively for healthy animals without any pathologies. In addition, it is not recommended to use for a long time as the sole variant of the feed mixture - the optimal solution will be the combination of products of this brand and natural food. Many note that if the pet has chronic diseases, sensitive gastrointestinal tract or addiction to allergies, then special medical feed should be selected for them.
Of course, it is not always possible to determine how well the cat. Therefore, before transfering it to Perfect Fit, it is desirable to seek advice with a professional veterinarian.
