Positive reviews

OlgaRog

When choosing a cheaper food, I settled on Perfect fit for cats with sensitive digestion, since one of our cats has a rather delicate stomach and does not accept everything. She eats this food with pleasure and there has never been any precedent for vomiting. Well, the second cat will eat anything, it doesn’t matter to him. The pieces of food are made in the form of crispy triangles, the smell is not sharp or strong, which is certainly a plus. The main thing is that our pets eat it with pleasure and have no digestive problems.

I have been buying Perfect Fit for a very long time. I am satisfied with both the price and the fact that it is sold in many stores. After trying different types of this food, the cat chose food with chicken. The granules are medium in size, probably too large for kittens, and the smell is not very strong. Feed consumption is economical. I also use wet food from this series. Of all the types of expensive and inexpensive food, I like this one the most. Our cat has liked this food for a very long time. The cat is healthy, cheerful, always in a good mood. Walks outside a lot.

Wet food
Reviews from veterinarians about Perfect Fit products contain not only positive, but also critical comments:

  1. The feed contains an acceptable minimum of dehydrated (dried) poultry protein; its exact amount is often not indicated. There is no pure meat at all.
  2. The food of this brand is not ideal, but it contains the required daily dose of vitamins, microelements, amino acids, and therefore is balanced.
  3. “Perfect Fit” products can be considered as fully corresponding to their price category.
  4. Flavorings and flavor enhancers are present in minimal quantities.
  5. Wheat and corn are the strongest allergens. This brand of food is not suitable for cats that are genetically predisposed to allergies.
  6. It is not indicated in what quantity rice is included in the product. But this is the healthiest cereal for cats.

For everyday feeding

“Perfect Fit Adult” is food for active adult cats. It forms the basis of the diet of pets, which always need to be in good shape. The combination of constituent elements will allow the cat to be energetic, support the immune system, and keep the coat and skin in excellent condition.

For everyday feeding of long-haired cats, “Perfect Fit Hair&Beauty” is recommended. It is designed to improve the quality of wool, stimulates its growth, makes it silky and shiny. The product has increased the content of meat flour, taurine, and vitamin A. Soy is excluded, cellulose powder and chicory are added.

Veterinarian recommendations

Karina Sergeeva, veterinarian at the Dog and Cat clinic

I have been working in the clinic for about 7 years. I can say that it is healthier to give kittens cottage cheese and milk; As you grow older, add more boiled fish or meat to your diet; vegetables can also be given. This will develop the habit of eating natural foods. Neither dry nor wet Perfect Fit food, in my opinion, can be considered balanced, because... any form contains ingredients that can cause allergies. In practice, we often encounter diseases in animals caused by cheap feed.

Vladimir Lugov, veterinarian

If you choose ready-made diets for pets, then you should choose those that belong to the super-premium class. They are expensive, but your pet's health is even more expensive. Sometimes animals completely refuse even canned food, so you should not buy it in large packages. I can’t say about any of them that this is an ideal food, even if it contains vitamins and minerals.

All information posted on the site is provided in accordance with the User Agreement and is not a direct instruction to action. We strongly recommend that before using any product, you must obtain a face-to-face consultation at an accredited veterinary clinic.

By age category

Babies are introduced to dry food “Perfect Fit Junior” from the age of 4 weeks. It contains 26% chicken flour, which increases the total protein content per 100g of product to 41%. The product contains fish oil. The total fat content in the feed is 18%. In order to increase the calorie content of food, the amount of fiber was reduced to 1.3 g/kg.

Actively growing babies need a nutritious product. The food contains macro- and microelements.

A high-calorie diet is essential to keep your pregnant cat healthy. She is transferred to food of this category and kept this way until the end of lactation.


For kittens

Dry food "Perfect Fit Senior" is intended for cats over 8 years old. At this age, the animal becomes less active, all physiological processes slow down, and health problems arise. Food for older animals is enriched with glucosamine, which plays a major role in the production and retention of intra-articular fluid. This substance prevents the development of arthritis and arthrosis, strengthens ligaments. The food is enriched with taurine, vitamins E and C.

For restricted feeding

Dry cat food “Perfect Fit In-Home” is introduced into the diet of pets who do not leave the apartment. The activity of such animals is significantly reduced, which makes them most susceptible to various diseases.

The “Perfect Fit” cat food for cats leading a sedentary lifestyle includes inulin. This substance is a polysaccharide. It promotes the growth and development of lactobacilli, increases calcium absorption, reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and type II diabetes, and increases the vitality of the animal.

To reduce the calorie content of In Home food, it is enriched with fiber. Beet pulp here is contained in an amount of 3.9%. Dietary fiber, swelling in the stomach, gives a feeling of fullness - the animal does not overeat. Another well-known property of fiber is intestinal cleansing. Its use improves the process of removing hairballs from the stomach.

Medicinal feed

"Perfect Fit In Form" is intended for animals that are kept on a very strict diet due to significant weight gain. It is low in calories, low in fat and meat.

Dry hypoallergenic food for cats with special digestion “Perfect Fit Sensitive” contains probiotics that support healthy intestinal microflora. Soy, corn and wheat are excluded from its composition.


Hypoallergenic

Dry food for sterilized and neutered cats “Perfect Fit Sterile” prevents the development of urolithiasis and obesity in such animals. This specialized food does not contain soy. It contains fish oil, B vitamins, probiotics, nutrients (to maintain optimal weight).

Analogs

As a replacement, you can purchase food from Pedigree, Darling or Chappi. These brands have a serious advantage over Perfect fit products - a wide range of products for dogs, and, accordingly, the ability to choose the optimal food for a particular pet, taking into account its individual preferences and characteristics.
