Brit food has three lines:

Brit Premium (Brit Premium) - premium dry and wet food;
Brit Care (Super Carey) – dry and wet food, super-premium class;
Brit Carnilave (Brit Karnilav) - dry food, super-premium class. Some of them are classified as holistic.

All three lines of food do not contain artificial colors, flavor enhancers or flavors.

If we compare the composition, then its quality, and accordingly, the price of the feed, increases from Premium to Karnilav.

For comparison:

Price per package of 6 kg, Brit Karnilav food for sensitive digestion and long hair with salmon - 4095 rubles;
Price per package of 7 kg, Brit Carey food for neutered cats – 3625 rubles;
The price for an 8 kg package of Brit Premium food for cats living indoors is 2813 rubles.

There is no corn in the food of this line; only rice is used, and this is a low-allergenic cereal that is easily digestible by carnivores.

And finally, the Brit Karnilove line of grain-free food does not contain grains or chicken. Meat ingredients - salmon, turkey, pheasant, duck, lamb, wild boar, reindeer. In addition, the food is enriched with naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin, which ensure healthy joints of animals.

Cat food Brit Premium - reviews

Since products from the above-mentioned Czech manufacturer have been on the Russian market for a long time, there are a lot of reviews about them on the Internet, including about the premium line of cat food. Below we have collected some reviews, and if you have already purchased this food, write your opinion about it in the comments below.

Reviews from veterinarians

Good afternoon. Visitors to the veterinary clinic where I work very often ask to recommend good food for cats and dogs (who comes with whom). At the same time, for most it is very important that it be cheaper, since it is not possible to buy expensive food. In such cases, I recommend Brit Premium for several reasons.

Firstly, it really has a good composition for a premium class and low price. Secondly, it is produced in the Czech Republic, and not in Russia (a lot of complaints arise when the production of foreign food is transferred to us). And thirdly, two good friends have been feeding their cats this food for a long time - there have been no health problems yet.

I should note that I don’t have a cat, but I do have a Siberian Husky dog. I buy the Canadian holistic product Acana, but only because neither I nor my wife have time to prepare natural food for him. If you have the opportunity, it is still better to keep your pets on a natural diet.

Customer Reviews

For economic reasons, I sometimes feed my cat Brit Premium for sterilized ones. I am a veterinarian and I believe that among the premium budget foods, Brit is the most optimal. Prevention of urolithiasis is due to high meat protein (34%), low phosphorus (0.9%) and magnesium (0.04%), which fully complies with FEDIAF requirements. Well, we eat Brit Care and Carnilove for sterilized ones. Neutered cat 5 years old.

Also about spiders for sterilized ones. I buy them from Auchan and now they are presented in an updated version: pieces in sauce. Eatability is 100%. The indicated meat content is 80%, which is several times more than in the old spiders - the cat eats it with pleasure; the price remained unchanged, even on sale it was cheaper (29 rubles per piece)

The rating of Brit Premium food in its category is 5 out of 5 points.

I have a Neva Masquerade cat, sterilized. Like many cat owners, I was looking for a suitable food for a long time, and during this search I tried Brit Premium for sterilized cats. Before this, I found a lot of positive reviews about it, saying it’s high quality, cheaper than other premium foods, and the cat likes it.

In principle, I liked the composition, the recipe is wheat-free. But as soon as I opened the package, I almost regretted buying it, the smell was like some kind of Kitekat. I finally regretted it when I gave it to my cat - she ate it very reluctantly, and after the first feedings, the stool worsened (it darkened and became sparser). The food did not suit us at all, so we do not recommend it.

We picked up a kitten on the street, at first we gave him homemade food, and when he got a little older we decided to switch him to dry food. I couldn’t afford the expensive one, but I didn’t want to feed him whiskey either. In the end, we settled on Brit Premium, which has a very good composition (although it is only premium) and is reasonably priced. The Care line from the same manufacturer has a better composition, but the price is higher.

The food itself smells quite attractive, you can really smell the fish (we take it with Salmon Adult, that is, salmon), and not just chemicals as in some. By the way, it contains chicken, so it is not suitable if the cat is allergic to it. You can also note the convenient reusable clasp on the packaging, useful when there is no container. But the most important thing is that the cat likes it and eats with pleasure.

Range

Quite wide and varied. Dry food is divided by age, taking into account the physiological state and activity of the animals. Wet food is available in the form of pouches and canned food. Canned food consists of pieces of meat in jelly or sauce and pates.

Dry food

The Brit Carnilove line consists of 12 types of grain-free dry food with improved composition.

Brit Carey wet food is available in the form of canned food in 6 flavors, and pouches, packaged in 80 g. Canned food is not inferior in quality to dry food, and also belongs to the super-premium class.

Cat food Brit Premium - reviews

Reviews from veterinarians

Good afternoon. Visitors to the veterinary clinic where I work very often ask to recommend good food for cats and dogs (who comes with whom). At the same time, for most it is very important that it be cheaper, since it is not possible to buy expensive food. In such cases, I recommend Brit Premium for several reasons.

Dosage

The feeding rate for 2-month-old kittens with Brit Premium dry food is 35 g. By 4 months, it increases to 50 g, by 6 months – 85 g, at 12 – 115 g.

The norm for adult cats living permanently at home is 50 g per 2 kg, 84 g - 4 kg, 113 - 6 kg, 141 - 8 kg.

Brit Carey feed requires slightly less. So, for cats living at home, 2-3 kg of weight requires 40-50 g, 3-5 kg - 50-80 g, 5-7 kg - 80-100 g.

The specified norm is fed in 2 doses, in the morning and in the evening.

The dosage of canned food per day is 25 g/kg of weight

How much chicken - so much rice

The first component has an unusual spelling on the label. It looks like this: “Chicken 40% (dried chicken 22%, chicken meal 18%).” It turns out that the word “chicken” here is not a separate ingredient, but simply a way to combine two of its derivatives.

This move allows the manufacturer to bring this mix to the first place in the composition list. Since the percentage dosage of rice and other key ingredients in the Brit Premium Kitten - Chicken in Salmon Sauce food is not indicated, it can be assumed that there is almost the same amount of grain as the chicken mixture, that is, almost 40%. It ranks #2 on the ingredient list.
