Pros and cons

Organics nutrition is produced using German technology. The corporation's specialists assure that all essential nutrients are balanced and included in carefully measured doses, making it suitable for use as both a primary and supplemental diet.

The brand hasn't been producing products for very long, but there's already enough information about them to evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages.

Among the advantages are the following:

affordable price in its segment (“super-premium”);
prevalence and availability in most retail outlets selling pet food;
a large list of minerals and vitamins necessary for the well-being of cats;
minimal technological processing of components;
a wide range of products, including both dry and canned forms;
high density of formed pieces of meat;
low jelly content in canned food;
the possibility of long-term storage in the refrigerator after opening with minimal loss of quality characteristics;
Repeating flavors in dry and canned forms, making it easy to combine different types of food;
increased caloric content, which allows the animal to feel full on a smaller volume of food;
high digestibility by the body, which affects the reduction of the volume of excrement produced.

The following are some of the disadvantages of Organix food:

the use of by-products rather than whole meat in the production technology;
the prevalence of vegetable protein in the composition, since the proportion of meat ingredients is not very high;
the packaging does not specify which antioxidant is used;
presence of salt among the ingredients;
7.5 kg and 18 kg packages are not equipped with finger holes, so they are not convenient for moving and transporting;
The ring on canned food often breaks off during the opening process.

It's worth noting that our selection doesn't include options for cats with special needs, such as neutered, elderly, or sick cats. This presents some challenges. For example, a cat that might become pregnant would need to be fed a different diet, or the animal would have to be switched to a different food, which is highly undesirable in this condition.

Compound

Ingredients are the first characteristic to consider when choosing cat food. Organics has reviewed all ingredients, adding to them several times and adjusting their ratios, and has now developed the optimal option for cats with different needs.

Among the components of Organics food that deserve special attention are the following:

Dehydrated chicken – 12%. This component is a source of animal protein, as are dehydrated duck – 4%, dehydrated salmon – 4%, and dehydrated fish. Together, the protein content is approximately 20%. Dehydration during the manufacturing process helps convert the meat component into a semi-finished powder. This is accomplished by completely drying it at room temperature. This type of processing preserves the maximum amount of nutrients without destroying them through heat treatment.
The grain component of Organics food consists of corn, rice, and barley. Corn provides your pet with essential carbohydrates and amino acids. It also contains over 10% vegetable protein, which is essential in cat food. Rice and barley are hypoallergenic and easily digestible.

Animal fats in Organix include chicken and salmon fats, making up 20%. In addition to the fatty acids necessary for normal immunity and well-being, they also contain vitamin E, which ensures excellent coat condition for cats.
The food also contains 5% coarse fiber, which is not digestible, but is essential for maintaining a balanced intestinal microflora.
Yeast and flaxseed, listed in the ingredients, are essential for normal growth, development, and excellent health of your pet. They also have a beneficial effect on the coat, which is especially important for show dogs.
Taurine is a sulfur-containing acid. It is essential for cats' nutrition; it is not produced by the body, but is required as part of bile. Without it, fat digestion and absorption are significantly impaired. Furthermore, a taurine deficiency affects the structure of the retina and the function of the nervous and cardiac systems.
Egg powder provides sufficient amounts of proteins, minerals and vitamins.
Yucca schidigera extract is a special ingredient that provides anti-inflammatory action, purifies the blood, and increases the ability to eliminate toxins through the skin.
Inulin is necessary for maintaining the microflora of intestinal structures.
Lecithin is a component necessary for the normal functioning of the liver of pets.
Chondroitin and glucosamine function to strengthen bone and joint structures.

The remaining ingredients are introductory to supplement the mineral and vitamin composition.

The official website of Organics pet food states that all products manufactured by the company are created exclusively from natural ingredients and do not include artificial ingredients designed to enhance the taste of the diet.

Range and prices

Organics cat food is available in two different forms:

Canned goods Available in standard and soufflé forms for kittens. Packaged in 100g, 125g, 250g, and 410g cans. These package sizes allow for shorter shelf life after opening, as the food's quality begins to deteriorate due to the destruction of many vitamins upon exposure to air. All canned foods under this brand are produced at the Naro-Fominsk Canning Plant in the Moscow Region.
Dry rations, which retain moisture even when a full daily dose is placed in the feeder. They are ideal for owners who are away from home all day and therefore cannot feed their cats portions. They are packaged in 0.8 kg, 1.5 kg, 7.5 kg, and 18 kg packages. The solid form of the food helps strengthen the pet's teeth and jaws and helps remove plaque. They are manufactured in a factory located in the Netherlands.

Canned food starts at 43 rubles for 125 g and goes up to 120 rubles for 410 g. Solid food ranges from 266 rubles to 4083 rubles. It's best to buy Organics food from authorized distributors, who offer minimal markups and work closely with the manufacturer.

Organix offers five lines designed for animals with different needs:

HypoallergenicThe exclusion of all ingredients that can cause allergies makes this food suitable even for cats prone to allergic reactions. It is available as a dry lamb diet in 1.5 kg, 7.5 kg, and 18 kg packages.

If you only have one cat at home, buying large packages is not recommended, as the contents will dry out and lose the scent that attracts the pet and increases appetite. Furthermore, once opened, the nutritional value gradually deteriorates. Larger packages are purchased when feeding multiple animals.

Reviews

The optimal price-quality ratio contributed to the wide distribution of the food, which is why there are many reviews about it.

Maxim Litvishko, veterinarian:

"In my veterinary practice, I've repeatedly seen that Organix produces a reputable product that's easily digested by pets. I've never received any complaints from clients after recommending these canned or dry foods. Regarding the manufacturer's claims of boosting immunity, I'm quite skeptical, as the primary purpose of this food is to not compromise the natural abilities of a breed or individual animal."

Eva Taran, veterinarian:

"I have a good opinion of the Organics brand; it's quite reasonable in its price range. However, I always recommend a gradual transition, as even the most cautious and hypoallergenic diet cannot guarantee a complete absence of adverse reactions."

Elena Koval, Donetsk:

"The transition to Organics food was difficult. At first, I started feeding it pure, but within the first 24 hours, it became clear the cat wasn't doing well, so I drastically reduced the dose and increased it by 10 grams per day. With this approach, everything went perfectly. We don't plan on changing anything now."

Taras Shkarap, Barnaul:

"I experimented a lot until I found this food. It was recommended to me by a veterinarian after my cat was sick from poisoning. Now I'm happy with everything; it's clear the cat is doing well and happily asks for more."
