Today a cat can only conditionally be called a pet, because for the vast majority of owners it is unconditionally a member of the family. And, of course, everyone’s favorite deserves to eat good food. Can Perfect Fit be considered such food? Let's take a closer look at it and get acquainted with reviews from customers.
In most cases, caring for your pet’s health begins with providing him with a healthy diet, for example, Perfect Fit food for cats. Its distinctive feature is that it takes into account not only the cat’s preferences, the state of the cat’s body, its needs for saturation with microelements and vitamins, but also the energy value of the food, and a certain number of individual factors that are general and individual in nature. This and much more is confirmed by expert reviews of this brand of food.
Perfect Fit cat food is designed to provide nutrition for your pet, taking into account its individual characteristics, including age and lifestyle. Especially for this, the manufacturer has released a series of specialized foods that are designed specifically for kittens, adult pets, elderly cats, and pets that have various health problems.
Middle class food
We strongly recommend that you listen to the opinion of veterinarians and do not buy economy-class food for your pet. In addition to by-products, they contain a large amount of dyes and flavors, which does not have the best effect on your pet’s health.
Perfect Fit food belongs to the middle class. Let's take a little closer look at what this means. First of all, there is an almost complete absence of flavoring additives and preservatives. There is no meat in the composition, this is a fact; this ingredient is present only in super-premium food. However, Perfect Fit food consists of high-quality by-products, and the packaging indicates a detailed composition, which the buyer can familiarize himself with. This already inspires confidence.
Conclusions about Perfect Fit
You can find the most conflicting reviews about Perfect Fit cat food, both good and bad. However, given its rather dubious composition, it would be unwise to recommend it as a staple diet. Whatever product the cat owner decides to feed his pet, do not forget about the rules for storing dry and wet food.

Distinctive features
Sufficiently high quality is a fact confirmed by clinical studies. At the same time, the product line has a lot of varieties that differ in taste and purpose. Thus, the line includes “Perfect Fit” food for kittens, for cats leading an active lifestyle, as well as for older cats. According to veterinarians and breeders, this food contains a balanced content of vitamins and microelements, as well as antioxidants. Therefore, experts assure that regular consumption of this product will not lead to a deterioration in your pet’s health.
Some restrictions
What should owners who want to transfer their pets to Perfect Fit take into account? The food grade indicates that its quality is quite acceptable, but it is only suitable for healthy cats. If your pet is prone to allergic reactions, has a sensitive digestive tract, or has chronic diseases, then you need to think about choosing a special series of medicinal foods. Of course, it is not always possible to determine on your own how healthy your pet is, so seek advice from a veterinarian.
For domestic cats
This “Perfect Fit” option was developed especially for sofa beds. Feedback from owners says that all cats readily switch to this food, their playfulness and mood noticeably increase, and their fur begins to shine beautifully. This composition is designed specifically to maintain the vitality and well-being of the cat.
It contains chicken protein (at least 24%), animal fat and corn, rice and soy protein. The food is enriched with dried beets and yeast, calendula flower extract, vitamins and minerals. This line also includes salmon food, which contains 14% poultry and fishmeal each, as well as lamb. Cats' taste preferences vary from person to person, but salmon food is often the favorite option.
Compound
The manufacturer's goal is to produce affordable food that meets the nutritional needs of cats. Therefore, waste from the processing of animal and plant raw materials was included in the feed mixture.
Composition of Perfect Fit food
Protein is supplied to the feed mixture for an adult cat through meat and bone meal from poultry, corn protein concentrate, and soybean meal. Feeding yeast is a source of B vitamins, which have a positive effect on coat and skin health.
To normalize intestinal digestion, dried beet pulp and yucca extract are used. These components weaken the specific odor of cat feces. Sunflower oil enriches the feed mixture with essential omega-3 fatty acids. Carnitine converts free fatty acids into energy. Food for adult cats contains 38% protein, 12% fat, 39 g/kg fiber (dietary fiber).
The nutrient ratio of kitten food is different.
Composition of kitten food
The amount of chicken meal was increased to 26%. Beet pulp was removed from the feed mixture to reduce the fiber content to 13 g/kg. The protein content was increased to 41%, fat – to 18%. Increased calorie content of feed is needed to ensure intensive growth of young animals. Pregnant cats are switched to kitten food and kept until the end of lactation.
Below is the composition of canned food for adult cats.

For castrated and sterilized cats
This is a special category of animals, the nutrition of which must be approached in a special way. Particular attention is paid here to the urinary system, in which (especially in castrated cats) stones often form due to improper feeding. Perfect Fit food does not have this disadvantage. Reviews from veterinarians convince us that this line will allow your pet to live a long and happy life without worries.
Let's look at the composition. Dried poultry protein comes first (including 24% chicken protein), followed by cereals, in this case wheat and dried animal protein. The remaining components can be considered additional, these are animal fat and rice, liver, beets and fish oil. Thus, Perfect Fit fully confirms the title of high-quality and natural food; it does not contain synthetic flavors or flavoring additives.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- Use of natural ingredients.
- Diets are developed taking into account the age and weight of pets.
- Acceptable price.
- Wide use. Available in almost every pet supply store.
Disadvantages of feed include the lack of instructions on the preservatives and antioxidants used, and the presence of by-products of unknown origin. Unfortunately, the manufacturer can currently only offer customers a narrow line of dry food for dogs. There are no wet food or canned food, but in the future this may change if the company expands its range.
For older cats
Animals that have lived with us for many years become integral members of the family. In order for them to stay with them as long as possible, you need to choose optimal and gentle nutrition for them. “Perfect” for cats over eight years of age is perfectly balanced and helps fight the signs of aging.
The food contains a combination of natural antioxidants that cleanse and rejuvenate cells. Special ingredients (lutein and taurine) are essential for heart health. But the most important thing is the balance of minerals; it is optimal in order to maintain normal PH of urine, and therefore maintain the health of the urinary system. This is very important for castrated cats, since in them the process of formation of kidney stones occurs at a fairly high rate.
Cost and reviews
To compare with other brands available on the market, we need to know not only the composition, but also the cost. The price of Perfect Fit also changes depending on your weight. We will not list the cost of the entire line; we will focus only on the most popular options. If you have a small kitten and you are just learning its taste preferences, then the best option would be kitten food with chicken, weighing 190 g. The cost of such a package is 86 rubles.
The next option is a pack weighing 0.65 kg. This is the most popular version of Perfect Fit food. Price - 245 rubles. Ideal for an adult cat who leads an active lifestyle, but is too fussy about food to stick to the same flavored food for a long time. A package weighing 1.9 kg will cost you 650 rubles. Finally, the most economical packs weighing 3 kg can be purchased for 1000 rubles.
Reviews of Perfect Fit food
Alexey Yu. Should you feed your pet this poison? Of course not! I was stupid, I wanted to save money and bought this food cheaper. I fed them for a whole month. Poor cat. I have never seen him in such a lousy state. The tray began to smell so bad it stung my eyes. A day later the cat began to suffer from diarrhea. I stopped feeding Perfect Fit - and here is the effect, the smell disappeared. Think about what they add there, since it is so lousy to digest. Don't make my mistakes!
Bakhchisaraeva Angela Recently acquired a kitten. I didn't know what to feed him. The seller offered Perfect Fit for kittens. Sweetie eats, likes everything, gains weight, and behaves actively. I'm happy with the food. And its composition seems to be natural.
Dmitry K. Choosing between perfik and whiskey, I, of course, chose the first. Although, the strange smell of the food is alarming. But the cat eats it on both cheeks. I like the fact that the food is sold in every store and is not expensive. Only the packaging is too small and runs out quickly.
Olesya Zharikova My husband bought the food, but the cat didn’t even eat it. I just dug with my paw next to the plate and that’s it. Well, yes, the smell is still the same. I read reviews on the Internet, and on the advice of one of them, I tried mixing it with food from another manufacturer. So what do you think? Rose CHOOSE another food, but Perfect Fit remained on the plate. Once again I was convinced that you can’t believe advertising.
Veterinarians' opinion
As usual, doctors' opinions differ somewhat. There are supporters of natural feeding who will try to dissuade you from the idea of buying this or any other dry food. However, today more and more veterinarians are coming to the conclusion that high-quality, balanced, ready-made food is much less likely to lead to health problems than a homemade diet. At the same time, doctors have the opportunity to observe animals that have switched to ready-made feed.
It is based on such observations that veterinarians note that Perfect Fit food is the optimal combination of price and quality. A balanced composition, the absence of harmful ingredients, a good percentage of protein - not all food from more expensive brands offers you this quality. Based on practice, we can say with confidence that by regularly eating food from this brand, your cat will be healthy and active for many years.
Is it worth purchasing?
Most domestic cats, incl. purebred, does not refuse natural food. You can easily accustom a pet to it, but not everyone is ready to study the habits and preferences of a pet for a long time. In addition, advertisements that beautifully describe the benefits of canned food also have an influence.
Each pet owner must decide for himself whether it is worth spending money on Perfect products or on natural fish, meat, and chicken.
The manufacturer uses dehydrated poultry meat and offal, the origin of which is unknown, so the quality of the protein is difficult to determine. The flavoring component in the diet is hydrolyzed animal origin, but the manufacturer also does not say what raw materials it is obtained from. Perhaps the animal will immediately refuse the herbal composition of Perfect Fit, and then it will be necessary to select a premium food that contains meat ingredients, and not salt, corn, and beets that are dangerous to the health of the animals.
