The range includes options for adult pets and kittens, pregnant and lactating cats, senior cats, and those with health issues. This super-premium food is not yet popular in Russia, but it is cheaper than products from renowned global manufacturers.

Fitmin cat Purity

The new Fitmin Purity line of grain-free food was introduced by the manufacturer relatively recently, but has already found favor among pet owners. The key feature of this balanced diet is that the kibble is free of corn gluten, wheat gluten, and other grains that often cause food allergies in pets. The carbohydrate content is achieved through the inclusion of peas and potatoes.

There are 8 products in the line:

Please note! The manufacturer also produces Fitmin pouches for cats – pieces of fresh meat (beef and chicken) or fish (salmon and trout) in sauce. They are recommended as a supplement to dry food.

Compound

Animal proteins are the main component, accounting for 30% to 37% of the total mass, depending on the product type. The high protein content is achieved through the following components:

• poultry meat;
• pork and beef;
• pork liver;
• chicken liver;
• chicken meat;
• fish meat - cod, sardines.

The formula contains both dried and fresh meat, which is not subjected to drying or other thermal processes that destroy amino acids and other beneficial components. A Czech manufacturer has developed a unique technology that allows for the addition of various types of fresh meat to the pellets. Eggs and fishmeal are also good sources of protein.

Salmon and flaxseed oils are sources of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. These components accelerate the regeneration process, meaning soft tissue and bone healing is faster when injured. Fatty acids also help improve the coat.

The following foods ensure sufficient carbohydrate intake:

• potato;
• rice;
• green peas.

Other components

Fitmin also contains the following components:

• Apple pomace and beet pulp are sources of fiber, which stimulates the digestive system, promotes bowel cleansing, and normalizes bowel movements.
• Brewer's yeast is a source of amino acids, as well as vitamins and minerals necessary for the vital functions of cats.
• Prebiotics help restore intestinal microflora and improve the absorption of beneficial components.
• A complex of vitamins (vitamin C, A, group B) allows you to replenish vitamin reserves.
• Sodium, selenium, iron, copper, and other minerals help maintain the necessary balance of micro- and macronutrients. Most minerals in the feed are chelated, making them easily absorbed by the animal's body.
• A complex of herbs and antioxidants strengthens the immune system, removes toxins from the body, and improves the functioning of the kidneys, liver, and other organs.

Please note! The ratio of ingredients and the exact composition may vary between products from different lines and for different purposes. You can find the ingredients on the packaging.

Owner reviews

Ksenia, owner of a 6-year-old cat:

"Not all foods are suitable for my handsome cat. Most of the time, he simply doesn't get enough from his daily intake, and I don't want to overfeed him, as this can lead to obesity. I used to buy Happy Cat Light, but when we moved, I had to find a new food. On the advice of a saleswoman at a pet store near my home, I looked at Fitmin cat "Castration. The cat liked the taste of the round kibble; he eats everything with great pleasure, but most importantly, he's full. And it's cheaper than Royal and similar products."

Valentina, Persian cat:

"When Snezhinka came to our home, we initially fed her the same food as her previous owners. We cooked our own porridge and meat, and included dairy products in her diet. But after mating with a male cat, we decided to switch to dry food and canned food to ensure she was getting enough vitamins. Fitmin was attractive due to its price. The female cat liked it too. All the kittens were born healthy. None of the new owners complained."

Veterinarian Reviews

Alexey, a veterinarian with 13 years of experience:

"Nutrition is the foundation of a pet's overall health and well-being, so choosing the right food is crucial. I discovered Fitmin by chance at a pet show a couple of years ago. There was a presentation of a new product from a Czech manufacturer. I appreciated the balanced ratio of ingredients. I started recommending it to my clients. Since then, no one has complained; in fact, everyone has been grateful for the advice."

Alina, a veterinarian with 7 years of experience:

"Fitmin is an excellent and affordable super-premium food for cats and dogs. With a wide selection, it's easy to find the perfect option for your pet. In my personal experience, using products from this Czech manufacturer doesn't cause digestive issues, and their coats become thick and shiny."
