“Our Mark” (cat food): reviews from veterinarians

This wonderful, healthy and inexpensive food is made by the same name. This company began its work more than fifty years ago. Over this huge period of time, the plant’s team has accumulated enormous experience in developing recipes for animal feed. Today they are manufactured using modern equipment from the highest quality products. At the moment, the website (feeds and their composition are presented on it in full), which is located at nm-pride.com, is one of the most famous manufacturers of animal feed in Russia. Products intended for cats and dogs also contain vitamins and minerals that are very beneficial for their bodies.

Pet lovers opinion

Of course, “Our Brand” (cat food, reviews of which allow us to judge it as one of the most popular) is not as widely advertised as the same “Whiskas” and “Royal”. However, experienced cat breeders have a higher opinion of it even than of these brands. This is mainly due to the naturalness of the products used for production. And, of course, its not too high cost also plays an important role in the popularization of this product. According to reviews, cats receiving this food look healthy, do not lose weight and do not shed.

The only criticism of this brand is that the amount of meat contained in the product is not too large. Particularly sensitive cats sometimes also develop an allergy to corn, which is part of most varieties of the Gatchina product.

Reviews from veterinarians about “Our Mark”

Not only cat lovers have a good opinion about this food. Specialists – doctors from veterinary clinics – also speak well of “Our Mark”. They also believe that this food is in no way inferior to well-known foreign brands in terms of usefulness and nutritional value, and in some respects even surpasses them. For example, dry food “Our Mark” does not contain any dyes, preservatives or GMOs. By buying it for your cat, you can save the animal from future problems such as indigestion, obesity, premature aging, worms, etc. Of course, only if you give it to your pet correctly.

Thus, you can safely buy Our Brand food. Reviews from veterinarians about it are positive. The only thing they don’t take particularly well is the fact that “Our Brand” contains too many products of “animal origin”. Translated into ordinary language, these are horns, beaks and bones ground into powder. In their opinion, such a product is not digested very well.

How to feed “Our Mark”

So, “Our Brand” is a food, the reviews of which from cat owners are mostly excellent. How to properly give this product to animals? The recommendations of veterinarians in this regard are as follows:

• If you give your cat dry food, be sure to provide it with constant access to drinking water. In this case, the animal should drink at least 20 ml of liquid per day.
• Dry food should not be mixed with traditional food. The fact is that “Our Brand” contains absolutely all the microelements and nutrients that an animal needs. Extra ones can simply harm the cat.

Many lovers of these animals buy this product, including to feed stray cats, since it is inexpensive.

Review of cat food Our Brand

Dry and wet cat food Our Brand is produced in Russia (Gatchina Feed Mill).
The official website is , it contains information important for consumers (for example, compositions, feeding standards). This food belongs to the economy class. Dog food is also produced under the Our Mark brand.

Composition of feed Our Brand

Let’s get acquainted with the composition of Our Brand food using the example of the “Hypoallergenic food for adult cats with lamb and rice” option. You can view it below, we recommend clicking on the image to enlarge it for easier reading:

Above is a photo of the composition from the packaging, below is data from the official website.

In first place is corn, which is a source of carbohydrates. It is also rich in amino acids, vitamins, and protein. Despite this, corn as the basis of cat food is not the best choice, because cats are meat eaters. Moreover, it is difficult to call food containing this ingredient hypoallergenic.

The second place in the composition is occupied by “bird meal”. It does not indicate how much it is, nor from which bird, nor what parts of the bird it includes. Next comes rice, a source of carbohydrates. Corn gluten is a source of protein. Sunflower oil is a source of Omega-6 fatty acids.

Next come mineral supplements (which minerals are not indicated anywhere). Hydrolyzed liver and lamb liver are, in theory, rich in vitamins and minerals, but the percentage of these ingredients in the composition is not indicated. Sugar beet pulp is a source of fiber.

Brewer's yeast is rich in B vitamins. Vitamins are supplements listed in the vitamins list. Antioxidant - prevents spoilage of feed, it is not specified which antioxidant it is.

Advantages and disadvantages

The benefits of the food include:

• low price;
• availability of dry and wet food;
• widely spread.

Disadvantages of Our Brand food:

• the basis of the feed is corn;
• a lot of vegetable protein (it is absorbed by the cat’s body almost twice as poorly as animal protein);
• the meat ingredient probably consists of poultry by-products;
• the antioxidant used is not specified;
• I'm happy with the low content of vitamins and minerals.

Feeding standards

You should be aware of this too. “Our Mark” is a cat food (reviews about it are positive), which must be given, of course, in certain quantities. They feed it to the animal in such a way that it does not overeat and does not remain hungry. The specific rate depends mainly on the weight of the cat. So, small animals weighing 2-4 kg are given about 30-80 g of feed per day. Larger cats (5-6 kg) are fed 70-120 g per day. Pregnant and lactating cats sometimes have to double or triple the norm. So, a large animal weighing 6 kg can eat almost half a kilo of product per day. Of course, you should base the amount of food on the cat’s appetite.

How do the animals themselves feel about Our Brand?

As you can see, cat owners and veterinarians have the most positive opinion about this domestic food. But how do the animals themselves feel about “Our Brand”? According to the observations of its owners, cats really like this food. Including the most capricious and fastidious. And there is nothing surprising about this. In addition to its attractive appearance, balanced composition and nutritional value, Nasha Marka food is also distinguished by its excellent taste. Among other things, this company also produces granular varieties. In the latter case, the food also cares for the oral cavity of the animal eating it.

In order for the product to remain fresh for a long time, experts have developed special packaging for it. However, of course, when purchasing, you should pay attention to the expiration date of the food, as well as the date of its release.

Table: ratio of nutrients in different types of product

Different Our Brand cat foods contain different amounts of nutrients. This can be seen in the table below:

Note! As you can see, the presence of some elements is characteristic only of a dry product. In addition, croquettes contain more nutrients.

How to store

So, “Nasha Marka” - cat food, reviews of which allow us to judge it as one of the highest quality products on the Russian market, certainly deserves the attention of lovers of domestic fluffy cats. However, it should be stored correctly. Granular dry food for cats and dogs can stay fresh for a very long time, even if it is already poured into a bowl. The main thing is to completely eliminate their contact with water and prevent swelling. But still, during storage you need to follow some rules. It is best to immediately print out the packaging you bring from the store and pour its contents into a closed container.

The soft, wet variety of food should be stored in the refrigerator after opening the package. When feeding an animal, you need to ensure that the product does not sit in the bowl for a long time.

As you can see, “Our Mark” is a cat food that is of quite high quality and is quite suitable for a pet of any weight and age. Among other things, you can save a lot of money by using it. However, of course, everything is individual. Once you start feeding your cat this dry product, you should definitely monitor the pet’s behavior and health. Perhaps the animal will begin to show signs of an allergy, or the product simply “does not suit” it.
