What class does it belong to

Four categories exist for animal feed:

• economy class;
• premium class;
• super premium;
• holistic class.

Both dry and wet food may be included in any of these classes. The Association of Veterinarians accepts this division, subject to certain restrictions. Manufacturers frequently designate a class to which it is very challenging to assign a product. "Kitekat" is a member of the lower class.

Table: what are the differences between food of different classes

Class	Examples of food	Raw materials	Meat content	Nutritional value	Advertisement	Availability	Price
Economy	Whiskas, Kitekat, Purina One	Low quality	From 5%	Low	Needs aggressive advertising	Sold in ordinary stores	The lowest (from 9 rubles per spider)

Super premium	Hills, Eukanuba	High -quality offal, lack of artificial components	Up to 50%	High	Practically not advertised	There are in specialized stores	High – from 55 rubles per spider
Holistic	Acana, Innova	High quality	Up to 90%	High	Not advertised	Some feed can be ordered only in online stores	The highest – up to 5000 for packaging

"Kitiktet" is among the least expensive cat food options.

Pros and cons of Kitekat food

"Kitiktet" sells out very fast. There’s a reason behind this:

• A democratic price (even a owner with a very low budget can buy a package of food with his cat);
• availability (for such food you do not need to go to the other end of the city, t. To. He must be in a neighboring store);
• popularity (many people trust the brand, which is actively advertised on television);
• A wide selection of tastes (even the cheapest food can be bought with taste, fish, chicken, meat, etc. D.).

Breeders and veterinarians frequently criticize economy class feed because of the following drawbacks:

• There is very little meat in this stern, part of the protein is extracted from plant raw materials, so the food cannot be called perfectly balanced;
• "KiteKat" contains dyes, flavors and preservatives of synthetic origin;
• in the composition of each series of feeds are allergens (for example, brewer"s yeast);
• there is no line of food for kittens;
• no therapeutic feeds.

The variety of flavors offered by Kitekat food is one of its benefits.

Assortment and features of feeds

The producer provides two different product categories to its clients:

• dry food (400 g, 1 kg, 2.2 and 13 kg);
• wet feed in the form of a spider (85 g each);
• canned food in tin banks (100 g each).

Dry food Kitekat

Five episodes are currently produced for dry food:

1. "Meat Feast".
2. "Assorted chicken and fish".
3. "Chicken".
4. "Fisherman"s catch".
5. "Veal".

Photo gallery: dry Kitiket feeds

The "Appetizing Chicken" television series is the most watched by viewers. "Meat Feast" refers to a meal that combines various meat varieties in flavor. "Appetizing Veal" is a type of feed that is less frequently found in stores than other types. "Fisherman’s Catch" refers to feed that combines the flavors of several fish species. The "Assorted" series’ flavors (chicken / fish, chicken / meat, etc. d.) are subject to change.

Composition of Kitekat dry food

In kitekat dry food, the following ingredients are present:

• meat and by-products (beef, chicken, fish, liver or rabbit);
• protein plant extracts;
• cereals and vegetables;
• animal and vegetable fats;
• brewer"s yeast;
• vitamins (A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, K, etc.). d.);
• minerals (calcium, phosphorus);
• food colors, flavors.

The food packaging lists the total amount of all the protein components; the amount of meat may be very small (for example, 4 percent). Although cat owners may become discouraged upon learning this, cats can survive without fresh meat as long as they get enough animal protein. However, some manufacturers are "cheating" in this case by providing a composition that makes it unclear where the protein actually comes from. Carbohydrate content may not be indicated at all in this situation.

The food’s composition isn’t always clearly and completely disclosed on the Kitekat packaging.

Table: nutritional value of food

Elements	Percentage ratio
Proteins (including meat)	Up to 28%
Fats (including vegetable)	Up to 9%
Fiber	Up to 5%
Ash	From 8%

The manufacturer refers to this food as complete because it contains about 330 kcal of energy per 100 g.

Kitekat wet food

Kitekat offers canned food in multiple series:

1. "Home dinner" (rabbit, fish, beef, liver, chicken) – canned food.
2. "Juicy pieces" (with rabbit, turkey, chicken or beef in jelly) – pouches.
3. "Juicy pieces" (with rabbit, turkey, fish, chicken or beef in sauce) – pouches.

The handy lids on the tin cans are designed to be removed with a single hand motion. Food in cans can be consumed in two to three sittings, but the shelf life must be considered. Occasionally the manufacturer adds new flavors to the lineup. No matter how the food tastes, the structure of various series is essentially the same. Pouches are made in sealed bags with an inner wall made of foil. Although each pouch is meant to be used in one sitting, some people split it into two. An open pouch needs to be used right away because it can’t be closed. Occasionally, a manufacturer will release a single series with a single flavor.

Composition of wet food

Ingredients in Kitekat canned food include the following:

1. Meat, offal and flour of animal origin.
2. Cereals and vegetables.
3. Minerals and vitamins (A, E, D).
4. Preservatives.

Table: nutritional value of canned food

Components	Percentage ratio
Proteins	From 7%
Fats	Up to 4.5%
Fiber	Up to 0.4%
Ash	Up to 2.5%
Moisture	82%

One hundred grams of Kitekat wet food has an energy value of 70 kcal.

The complete composition of Kitekat wet food is not disclosed by the manufacturer.

Does Kitekat have therapeutic feeds

There are no veterinary or medicinal foods under this brand. Every Kitekat product is made to be fed to healthy adult cats every day starting at age one.

Kitekat treats

Individual treats are not produced by the manufacturer. Individual lines are occasionally produced as "special" foods, such as:

• “Favorite Portion” pouches;
• “Simple and Tasty” pouches, etc. .

I feed my cats natural food, but as a treat, I occasionally purchase wet food from reputable manufacturers. My cats don’t think less of "KitKit," but they don’t have time to get used to juicy canned food because I only give them attention once a week.

Photo gallery: special series of food

There are uncommon flavors in both wet and dry food. Some proprietors import "KiteKats," which have a distinct flavor. One can also find food from popular series that are released once a year in a regular store. Different packaging designs are used for different "KiteKat" lines.

How Kitekat feed affects the body of a pet

Cheap foods are thought to do nothing more than put cats at risk of harm. This is because of the composition’s characteristics:

1. Processed products of animal origin components (bone meal, feathers, hooves, beaks, etc.). d.) may be of too low quality.
2. Dyes, preservatives and other artificial components poison the body.
3. Corn and yeast can cause allergies.
4. The food contains flavorings and flavor enhancers, which means that the cat can get used to the food.

When their cats become ill, many pet owners who fed their cats "KitKit" blame the food for all the "sins." Veterinarians strongly advise feeding only high-quality food to their patients. However, there is another way to look at this problem:

1. Cheap ingredients (by-products) are normal food for cats. In the wild, they feed on mice, birds, etc. . Such components are valuable due to the presence of protein.
2. Dyes are also found in some expensive foods, in addition, all food colors are allowed by various standards. And preservatives are essential to prevent the food from spoiling.
3. Allergens are sometimes found in holistic class foods. Features of the composition are determined by the manufacturer itself, especially since not all cats have allergies.
4. Flavors are not needed to cause addiction, but to give the animal an appetite, because it affects digestion.

I frequently hear cat owners say things like, "They add drugs to this food," "It’s full of chemicals," and "KitKat is poison." All of this seems exaggerated to me. Selecting cat food is similar to selecting human food. For instance, if someone can’t afford a piece of boneless beef, he’ll get cheap wieners or sausages instead. For instance, dyes, flavors, preservatives, and the same byproducts are also present in sausages. Even though people know this isn’t very healthy, they continue to purchase it. Cat food works in the same way. Everybody purchases goods based on their financial situation.

Even with so many negative reviews, cat owners keep purchasing these products.

Food classified as economy class need not always be unhealthy if it is produced and approved by the government. However, you must also keep in mind to adhere to the feeding guidelines:

1. You can’t mix natural food and ready-made food (as well as food of different brands). Each food is balanced in its own way, and when mixed, this balance is disturbed. For example, you cannot feed a cat KitKit and raw fish – this leads to severe attacks of urolithiasis.
2. If we are talking about dry food, then you need to take a more serious approach to the drinking regime (there should be plenty of water, otherwise it will have a bad effect on digestion and kidney function).
3. You do not need to "stuff" the cat with vitamins and various supplements without the recommendation of a veterinarian (this also disturbs the balance).
4. You need to carefully follow the manufacturer"s recommendations (volume and number of feedings), so that the pet does not have to be fed natural food.
5. Nursing and pregnant cats need to be fed more often so that they do not starve.

When it is contraindicated to give them to a cat

It is not advised to feed certain animals this type of food:

• cats with urolithiasis or renal failure;
• kittens under 1 year old (they need a different balanced food);
• cats and cats prone to allergies.

My sister has urolithiasis in her cat. He consumed mostly fish for two years, which contributed to the onset of the illness (the veterinarian claims that fish is one of the products that causes inflammation because it is high in phosphorus). In addition to prescribing medication, the veterinarian advised switching the cat to a full industrial diet. Although my sister purchased Kitekat, veterinarians recommended switching to a veterinary diet (very high-quality food).

It is not recommended to feed kittens, allergic cats, or animals suffering from urolithiasis kitekat food.

Is it worth replacing Kitekat with another economy class food

It’s up to the cat owner whether or not to switch out Kitekat for another low-cost product. It is useless to substitute one meal for another if you are satisfied with your regular fare.

Kitekat cat food is a well-liked, reasonably priced choice that provides adult cats with basic nutrition, but it’s crucial to know its ingredients and whether it satisfies your pet’s unique dietary requirements. Before incorporating Kitekat into your cat’s diet on a regular basis, it’s important to take into account their age, activity level, and general health. Although it’s convenient and easily accessible, Kitekat might not offer the superior proteins or extra health benefits found in premium brands.

Reviews of Kitekat food from cat owners

To be honest, I didn’t notice a difference in my cat’s diet between Purina, Hills, Royal, Happy Cat, Friskies, Nasha Marka, and Kitekat. The cat persisted in using dry food as a toilet since she was having problems using liquids. When we started feeding the cat natural food—porridge made with fish, liver, and chicken eggs—the cat started using the bathroom regularly. Kitekat dlya Koshek, a forum participant: http://otzyvkorm.ru

Although they could have added more chicken, the price of 12.90 rubles was probably the best (this includes the manufacturer’s staff maintenance, packaging, and trade margin for the store). I mistakenly believed that there was only soy, but the manufacturer makes sure we know that there isn’t any soy!

For those searching for reasonably priced nutrition for their cats, Kitekat cat food presents a respectable alternative. It offers a variety of flavors that many cats seem to like, which makes it a practical option for pet owners.

But it’s crucial to take the nutritional value and ingredients into account. It may not be the best option for cats with specific dietary needs, even though it meets their basic needs. Some owners have a preference for dishes made with better ingredients.

Ultimately, Kitekat can serve as a dependable daily meal for cats in good health, but just like with pet food in general, it’s a good idea to speak with your veterinarian to make sure your cat is receiving the right nutrients.
