Manufacturer information

The production of Brit food takes place at the family concern Brit Pet Food and is divided into two lines - Brit Premium in blue packages (considered a little worse in quality) and Brit Care in white packages (belongs to super-premium and is more loved by dog ​​breeders).

The brand’s feed goes through the production process “from start to finish” at the Czech factories Vaho Praha.

The concern has been operating since 1994 and in 2021 became the best Czech brand. Today Brit supplies its products to more than 60 countries around the world.

The production process itself is classified, the veil of secrecy is revealed only on the official website of the manufacturer www.brit-petfood.com:

• All brand foods are certified in accordance with high quality standards;
• During production and new developments, clinical trials on animals are not conducted;
• The company's products do not contain soy and GMOs;
• The composition does not contain products that can harm animals;
• The company's products consist entirely of natural ingredients that are easily absorbed by pets.

From this information we can conclude that the food contains no hidden dyes, flavors or other harmful substances that could adversely affect the health of dogs.

The emergence of a company with one of the largest annual production volumes - Britt

The family company was founded 24 years ago in the Czech Republic - the city of Prague. The history of the idea of ​​creating hypoallergenic food is kept silent, but 24 years later the company is respected among doctors, veterinarians and breeders. The company delivers food to many countries, owns several factories in the capital, sponsoring events dedicated to the lifestyle of animals.

The company posted slogans on the official website:

• The health and well-being of pets is the goal of Large Breed;
• Testing products on pets is the worst thing manufacturers can do;
• We work to eliminate cruelty to animals, which is unacceptable;
• Refusal of cheap grain is a guarantor of quality, healthy animal nutrition;

Trust is generated by certificates, licenses, and standards laid out for public viewing by manufacturers.

Feed range

Dry food is divided into grain-free, hypoallergenic and specialized for pets with certain health problems.

The manufacturer offers diets for pets of different ages:

• for puppies (from one month to 4 months);
• for teenagers (from 4 to 12-18 months);
• for adults (from 1-1.5 to 7 years);
• for the aging (from 7 years).

In grain-free formulas, grains are replaced by potatoes, and the main source of protein is fish. A large 12-kilogram bag will cost dog owners about 4,400-4,700 rubles.

Hypoallergenic food is made from lamb and rice. Their cost for 12 kg is 3,800-4,200 rubles.

Both lines are further divided by breed size:

1. S – for pets weighing up to 10 kg;
2. M – for pets from 10 to 25 kg;
3. L – for breeds weighing more than 25 kg.
4. The grain-free option also offers XL - for giant dogs weighing more than 45 kg.

Specialized diets come without divisions by size and age. Here food is selected exclusively for the special needs of the animal:

• Endurance is an option for dogs with a very active lifestyle or increased physical activity. It is made with duck meat and rice and is high in protein (46%) and carbohydrates (30%). Price for 12 kg – 4,200-4,350 rubles .
• Show Champion is a special diet developed for show class dogs. The underlying fish gives a healthy appearance and shine to your pet’s coat. The price of feed is 4,450-4,550 rubles per 12 kg .
• Sensitive – for animals with problems in the gastrointestinal tract. It's made with venison and potatoes, no added grains. The cost of 12-kilogram package is about 5,100-5,200 rubles .
• Weight Loss is a lightweight option for pets that have gained excess weight. It is based on rabbit and rice. It will cost about 4,250-4,350 rubles for a package weighing 12 kg .

Brit Care has a fairly wide range of dog foods that differ from each other in breed size and age standards. The advantage of the brand is the presence of two separate product lines: hypoallergenic and dietary. Special diets are formulated for dogs with different activity levels and health conditions.

Brit food review

Modern equipment is used in the production of Brit brand food for cats and dogs, and the product components do not contain GMOs or other harmful additives.

Brit food is available in dry and wet form . There are also special types of products:

• for small animals;
• elderly;

• overweight cats and dogs;
• animals with digestive problems;
• pregnant cats and dogs;

Reviews of Brit food indicate that even those animals who refuse other food or digest it poorly and have no problems eat it with pleasure. Most reviews about the products of this brand are positive.

Also, all Brit Care products are enriched with microelements and vitamins that are beneficial for animals.

Feed composition overview

The composition of Brit Care feed inspires confidence. The first ingredient in all feeds is the protein ingredient. Its percentage is 32-35% (in Endurance - 46%) and is mainly meat, not offal. This is definitely a good result.

• Rice or potatoes serve as carbohydrates in grain-free formulas.
• The composition does not contain any corn or wheat, which are common causes of allergies and do not provide any nutritional value or benefit to the pet’s body.
• Next in the feed comes chicken and fish oil. The average fat percentage is about 15%.
• In addition, the composition contains fruits, vegetables and plant extracts that provide fiber and a complex of vitamins to animals.
• The nutritional composition and set of microelements indicate the balance of the feed and allow it to be called complete.

What is included in Brit Kea food?

The quality of animal diets is primarily determined by what they are made from. It is difficult to evaluate the composition of all feeds, but this is not necessary; it is enough to consider one, the most popular formula of a given brand. As an example, we can take the Edult Small Breed diet - dry food for small adult dogs.

First of all, food for animals of this class should not contain chemical components or artificial additives for preservation, color, taste or aroma. In addition, low quality by-products are not added to the composition. After analyzing the ingredients of this diet, nothing like this could be identified.

The ratio of nutrients in Edult Small Breed food is as follows:

• crude protein – 28%;
• fat – 17%;
• crude fiber – 2.5%;
• ash – just over 7%;
• humidity – 10%.

While the analysis confirms the balance of this product, there is only one drawback - low fiber content. The main ingredients are the following products:

• 40% lamb meal
• 36% rice;
• chicken fat;
• dried apple pieces;
• 2% fish oil obtained from salmon fish.

The diet formula is open, and everyone can find out what a particular diet is made from.

Squirrels

The main source of the most important animal component is flour obtained from lamb. Protein is 40%. The manufacturer does not embellish the composition of its products, and this is already a plus.

Lamb is one of the best protein products; it is rich in easily digestible and hypoallergenic animal proteins. After drying and grinding, the resulting flour contains three times more protein than raw meat.

Carbohydrates

In the Brit Kare diet, their main source is rice. It is a less allergenic component than other grains. In addition, refined rice grains contain high-quality carbohydrates, vegetable proteins and fiber. Rice promotes the formation of stool, as well as reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood.

Fats

The product containing them is in 3rd place in the composition - this is chicken fat. The ingredient is considered beneficial for the canine body; it provides the coat and skin with essential elements, the main of which is linoleic acid.

In addition to this component, the composition contains fish oil. And although its amount does not exceed 2%, it is a very valuable product containing a large amount of polyunsaturated acids.

Additional Products

Not all dog food formulas contain such an ingredient as dried apples. But it is no coincidence that this fruit is included in the composition - apples contain a lot of fiber, healthy carbohydrate substances, a whole vitamin complex, pectin, potassium, boron and beta-carotene.

Cartilage and shellfish extracts are sources of natural chondroitin and glucosamine. In addition, the diet formula is enriched with herbs and fruits: yucca, rosemary, citrus fruits, cloves, milk thistle. Turmeric has a pronounced antibacterial and antioxidant effect; it is also included in Brit Care food.

As you can see, the feed has a rather complex, multi-component composition. And there are no harmful or useless ingredients among the ingredients.

Advantages and disadvantages

A detailed analysis of the range and composition gives an accurate idea of ​​the pros and cons of Brit Care feeds.

The main advantage of Brit brand food is its decent price-quality ratio. The cost of super-premium food is not off the charts and remains cheaper than many analogues, but the rich composition is close to the level of holistic food.

Reviews from veterinarians and buyers about the food

Dog owners and veterinarians often share their opinions about the pet foods they use.

Owner reviews:

• Maria, owner of the spaniel:

“About six months ago I was given a spaniel, I immediately decided that I would only feed him food; I didn’t have time to cook for the dog.

First, I asked the breeder what she was feeding, so I fed the baby Royal Canin for another 2-3 months. But then I started to understand its composition and decided that the price was a little expensive for a non-super food. After a long search, I chose Brit Kare with lamb. The transition went well. We’ve been eating it for several months now, and I’m more than satisfied with the food!”

• Irina, owner of a mongrel dog:

“I have a mongrel Lucky who weighs about 10 kg. I spent quite a long time selecting food for her, and in the end the choice fell on Brit Kare. The main thing I paid attention to was that there was no corn or wheat in the ingredients, there was a lot of meat, and of course, an adequate price.

Now we are taking food for adults with lamb M. The granules are of normal size, about 1 cm in diameter, and do not smell much. The dog eats these crackers with pleasure.

I recommend this food with a clear composition and a reasonable price!”

Reviews from veterinarians:

• Stanislav Viktorovich, veterinarian, Moscow:

“I believe that Brit Care is one of the best foods in the super-premium segment with an optimal price-quality ratio. The manufacturing company has long established itself among experienced breeders; many nurseries give preference to it.

The Czech company offers diets for various breeds, ages and health status of the pet. The composition contains a decent percentage of meat content, and also contains a complex of vitamins, microminerals and amino acids.”

Reviews from veterinarians about Brit food

Experts speak very highly of Brit food for dogs and cats and often recommend that owners feed their pets with them. Veterinarians also noted the following advantages of these feeds:

• big choice;
• availability of not only dry products, but also canned ones;
• use of fresh and natural meat;
• affordability;
• The product helps improve the health of the animal.

Thanks to its composition, Brit food is healthy for dogs and cats, and it tastes great.

Flaws

Experts also note some disadvantages of this brand’s products:

• in some positions there is corn (in particular, in dog food), which is a very difficult product to digest;
• Brewer's yeast, although it improves the quality of the animal's coat, can cause allergies, vomiting and stomach upset in a cat or dog.

Another disadvantage that has been corrected by manufacturers is the presence of valerian in cat food. For this reason, many did not recommend this food so that it would not become addictive to the cat. However, the company reconsidered the need for this ingredient in the composition and decided to exclude it.

Compound

We will analyze the composition using the example of food for small dogs - Brit Care Adult Small Breed. It contains many nutrients: fat – 17%, ash content – ​​7.2%, fiber – 2.5%, protein – 28%. The product is formulated correctly and well balanced. Main ingredients included:

• lamb meal;
• peeled rice;
• fat (chicken);
• apple (dried);
• fish fat.

Squirrels

The product is based on lamb flour (40%), which is a definite plus, because it is one of the best sources of protein. In terms of protein content, dried meat is two to three times superior to fresh meat.

Carbohydrates

The main source of carbohydrates is rice. This cereal is considered the least allergenic among all grain products.

Purified rice (this is exactly what is contained in Brit Care dry food) is rich in fiber, protein, and high quality carbohydrates. It can improve your dog's stool and reduce cholesterol levels.

Fats

One of the main ingredients of Brit Kare is chicken fat. It has a good effect on the animal’s body and improves the condition of the coat. It also contains salmon oil. It contains many useful microelements, among which omega acids come first. There is not much of it in food for small dogs (2%), but it still makes its contribution to the dog’s health.

Additional Ingredients

Among the first five ingredients you can see a dried apple. This ingredient is a source of fiber, vitamins and pectin. Apples also contain potassium and boron.

In addition to apples, the food contains glucosamine and chondroitin in the form of crustacean shells and cartilage extract.

The food also boasts the presence of fruits and herbs, it contains: cloves, citrus fruits, yucca, thistle. Among other things, food for small dogs contains turmeric, which has antibacterial properties.
