The health, grooming and activity of animals largely depend on the quality of food. The ideal solution is the hypoallergenic dry dog food "Grandorf".
Holistic products are manufactured in Italy and Belgium in full compliance with the strict standards established in Europe.
Strict control is carried out at all stages of production. "Grandorf" consists of easily digestible natural ingredients, so it has rightfully become popular among pet owners.
Grandorf food line
It is difficult to independently provide your pet with a balanced, satisfying and healthy diet at different age stages. Therefore, taking into account the needs of dogs, the Grandorf line was developed.
It includes 4 categories:
- Food with added probiotics. Beneficial natural microorganisms Enterococcus faecium help normalize the functioning of the digestive tract. Daily inclusion of this species in the diet of dogs allows not only to restore the intestinal microflora, but also to maintain it at the proper level. As a result, the digestibility of food increases, the deficiency of various micro- and macroelements is eliminated, which means that the external and internal condition of the animal improves.
Probiotics are introduced into the feed in the form of acid-resistant enteric capsules after the preparation cycle has ended.
This product is produced in bags of 1, 3 and 12 kg in two variations - 4 Meat & Brown (for adult dogs of any size) and “Mini” (for small animals).
The cost of food depends on the weight of the package and composition:
- 1 kg for all types costs 680 rubles, for small ones 740 rubles;
- price per 3 kg for small dogs 1849 rubles, small adult animals 1700 rubles, all types – 1400 rubles;
- 12 kg – suitable for all dogs and costs 5,500 rubles.
- Low grain. The basis of this type of food is brown rice, lamb or white fish. Due to the absence of the vegetable protein gluten in the cereal, the food is perfectly digestible even by very young puppies and those pets whose stomachs are hypersensitive to foods. At the same time, rice is a valuable supplier of various mineral components, B vitamins and energy. For example, “Lamb with Rice” is available in six varieties, suitable for dogs of different sizes and ages:
- food "Grandorf" for puppies from three weeks, for pregnant bitches and during lactation for small and medium breeds;
- “Juniors” - for 4-month-old individuals, as well as for medium or large females during gestation and feeding;
- “Mini” - food for adult small animals;
- “Medium” - for medium-sized pets;
- "Maxi" - for large dogs from 1 year to 3 months.
“White fish with rice” for feeding adults also falls into this category. All these foods cost from 600-5000 rubles.
- Grain-free. In this type of food "Grandorf" instead of cereals, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are included in the composition. Experts have developed 2 recipes containing a record amount of meat. But at the same time, the food is ideal for dogs prone to allergies, digestive disorders, hair loss and hypersensitive skin. For example, food with sweet potatoes and rabbit or duck meat, which are suitable for dogs older than one year and cost from 600 to 5 thousand rubles.
- Wet. Available in canned food of 150-400 g. The composition contains 80% meat, the rest is rice. The cost of the can is 100-170 rubles. The consistency of the product is similar to pate, smells delicious and is suitable for dogs prone to allergies. Available in the following varieties:
- "Veal";
- "Lamb";
- "Rabbit";
- "Turkey";
- Chicken and Rice (ideal for puppies).
These foods can be given as independent food or alternated with dry granular supplements.
The cost of rations is average. It all depends on the promotions, bonuses offered and other personal conditions.
Feed classes and their energy value
Before choosing a suitable dog food, it is worth understanding that there are several types that differ in calorie content, composition, nutritional value, and protein content. When choosing, it is important to take into account that the more caloric and nutritious the product, the lower the dosage should be.
Note! The most expensive foods, as a rule, have a high calorie content, so a small amount is enough for the dog to get enough.
The choice between dry food and natural food depends on the owner’s preferences
Economy class
To produce feed from this group, the cheapest products are used. The main part is corn and grains. The low meat content is compensated by the increased volume of soy. Such food has a calorie content of no more than 250-300 kcal per 100 g.
Important! When choosing such foods, it is imperative to include additional supplements and vitamin complexes in your pet’s diet.
Premium class
Premium foods include small amounts of vitamins and minerals. The product also contains some protein (approximately 20%), which is produced from offal and meat waste. The composition contains a large amount of corn and other grains. The average energy value of such foods does not exceed 350 calories per 100 g. If necessary, you will need to add additional nutrients to your pet’s diet.
Super premium class
Feeds in this group are distinguished by their increased cost and balanced composition. They contain high amounts of protein, obtained from high-quality meat products. In addition, they include all the necessary minerals and vitamins. There is no soy in such products, and corn is included in the composition in a minimal amount. The value of super-premium food reaches 450 kcal per 100 g, while the dog receives all the necessary substances immediately during meals.
Note! Such products are allowed to be given to the animal constantly. The popular French food Pro Plan falls into this category.
Holistic
For food in the holistic category, only high-quality products are used that are acceptable for use in the food industry. The calorie content is approximately 450 kcal per 100 g. The composition contains all the necessary elements that have a beneficial effect on the dog’s condition. These foods are perfect for pets during pregnancy and for animals with various diseases.
Dogs generally enjoy eating dry food because they often contain flavor enhancers.
Advantages and disadvantages
Grandorf brand food is distinguished by an optimal set of natural nutritional ingredients, vitamins, micro- and macroelements. It contains a large amount of high-quality whole meat from various animals and fish.

A little about holistic food
If you are not involved in breeding dogs or are simply far from this topic, then you are unlikely to understand the hundreds of brands that you will see in pet stores. It is useless to focus on colorful packaging or advertising; you must definitely pay attention to the composition and price.
Dry food Grandorf for dogs
Animal feed is divided into several types:
Advertising:
- economy;
- premium;
- super premium;
- holistic (HOLISTIC).
Dry food Grandorf belongs to the last and most expensive type, since it is as close as possible to the natural diet of a wild animal. That is, the food contains natural meat and fish. The quality of this food is so good that even humans can consume it without fear.
If economy class food is aimed only at keeping your pet full, then food from this group provides your pet with vitamins and is the prevention of many diseases.
Grandorf dog food is made in Belgium. Unfortunately, it can rarely be found on the shelves of regular pet stores. But there is a way out; the consumer can order Grandorf for puppies or adult dogs on the Internet. Many nurseries that breed top-class puppies buy only expensive and good food in bulk for their dogs.
