Fitmin for cats
Czech Fitmin is available in several variations - super-premium, holistic and nutritional supplements.
In Russia, the most famous is the super-premium For Life. All diets are based only on chicken and salmon, there is no variety in taste. But the recipe is chosen so that the food is very easily digestible. Careful technological processing of ingredients allows for maximum preservation of beneficial substances. The food has increased energy value and nutritional value compared to analogues in its price category. Contains no vegetable proteins, soy, artificial colors or flavors. All food and vitamin supplements are in active, easily digestible form. A distinctive feature of all diets is the presence of a special dental complex and a complex to reduce the smell of excrement. The lines are standard (for different ages and needs), there are no veterinary foods. Of greatest interest in terms of composition and effectiveness on the cat’s body are diets for castrated and obese animals. Problematic digestion, bad fur, thinness - this is how we took the kitten from the shelter. This is our decision to do a good deed, even with a mongrel cat. They were not picky about the food, the veterinarian told me what to look for, which series to choose and the required class. I appreciate that the veterinarian left the right to choose food up to us, and did not advertise prepaid and not always good food. And we chose Fitmin food. Pleasant sound: fitmin-vitamin. We had to arrive at the necessary vaccination with strong immunity, good weight gain, and, of course, normal blood levels. Love, combing the fur, talking with the pet and dry food chosen correctly (the first time) did their job, we cured immunodeficiency, colds, underweight, the fur became fluffy, pride appeared in its gait, the cat became well-groomed and contented. Of course, I tell everyone that this is a house, I made a cat from the series: before/after, but proper nutrition also played a role. We are going to feed this food for up to 9 months, the struggle for life was at 4.5 months, now there is a steady improvement within 1.5 months. Of course, we went through hell, a hell in which we fed a kitten with a syringe, missed work, put on IVs, and were shaking so much that we wouldn’t know what she was like.
My cat has a problem stomach, despite his young age. Therefore, we spent a long time poking around and choosing what was best to feed. If the food is not suitable, especially cereal, the kitten immediately turns inside out. I visited all the stores in the city, only one offered Fitmin, a brand unknown to me. If it weren’t for the opportunity to take it in bulk, I doubt I would have wanted to try it. But thanks to the store for this opportunity. The kitten ate without enthusiasm, but most likely not because the food was tasteless, but out of fear of a subsequent reaction. But everything worked out. Therefore, on the third feeding I ate not so carefully, but with a better appetite. After that I started buying in full packages. Fitmin doesn’t have any cereals, which is very pleasing. There's a lot of meat. But there is pork (meat and liver), not alone, but in combination with beef. Therefore, those who have contraindications to it, be careful. Now, almost two months have passed since switching to Fitmin, I decided to conduct an experiment. I put two cups to choose from, the kitten chose fitmin, but did not go to the other.
There are almost no reviews about this food, but I can assure you that it is definitely better than Royal Canin. My four-year-old Siberian cat spent half his life in RK, and the second lives in Fitmin. I ate the first food well, but I like the composition of the second one better, and the price is almost the same. Moreover, Fitmin has a thought-out composition depending on the characteristics; I take a specialized one for long-haired dogs. If you go into detail about the composition, then there is practically only meat. It is available in different varieties (dried poultry, fresh beef and pork liver, dried fish, dried pork and beef). This is a very comprehensive approach, very high in protein, and also as filling as possible, so my cat is just a big guy. He grew like a giant on this stern. Even instead of the usual corn and wheat, it contains rice, which means the risk of allergies is reduced to zero. The veterinarian couldn’t tell us anything about the food, if you like it, feed it, probably due to its low prevalence, the food is poorly known and a full picture of its positive characteristics has not yet emerged.
If not for an accident, this food would not have attracted my attention. The market is full of well-established brands with big names, but this food is different. Fitmin is not popular, it is difficult to find even when ordering on the Internet, few people will decide to switch cats to food that is available today and not available in the store tomorrow. Surprisingly, this food does not contain grains at all. Concept. This food with the correct composition, this is not a jelly made from healthy ingredients, this food, the composition of which triggers the beneficial properties of other products, due to chemical reactions brought the fur of my Persian cat into complete order. The cat’s hair stopped getting tangled and its fur stopped getting tangled. Fitmin Purity Urinari is the best food for cats and kittens prone to kidney failure who take care of their coat. There must be a fine line in the nutrition of such animals - not to overdo it with protein, so as not to damage the kidneys, and at the same time there should be enough of it to be enough to nourish the cells. In this regard, Fitmin suited me, I will continue to play the game: buy Fitmin if you can, it’s rare, it’s an infection.

Owner reviews
Ksenia, owner of a 6-year-old cat:
“Not all foods are suitable for my handsome cat. In most cases, he simply doesn’t get enough of the daily dose, and you also don’t want to overfeed him to avoid obesity. At one time I bought Happy Cat Light, but when I moved I had to find new food. On the advice of a saleswoman in a pet store located next to my house, I turned my attention to Fitmin cat Castrate. The cat liked the taste of the round granules; he eats everything with great pleasure, but most importantly, he gets enough of it. And it’s cheaper than Royal and similar products.”
Valentina, Persian cat:
“When Snowflake appeared in our house, we first fed her like the previous owners. We prepared our own porridge and meat, and included dairy products in our diet. But after mating with the cat, they decided to switch to dry food and canned food so that the body would receive a sufficient amount of vitamins. I liked Fitmin for the price. The cat liked it too. All kittens were born healthy. None of the new owners complained.”
