Native dog food: reviews, prices

When formulating their pets' diets, most responsible dog owners, both professional and amateur, prefer products manufactured to international quality standards and, therefore, imported. However, the domestic market offers "Rodnye Korma" dog food, which also meets these standards but is made from Russian ingredients, tailored to the needs of its consumers, and is priced lower. Moreover, "Rodnye Korma" is not a generic name, but a specific brand that produces a variety of food and other products for pets.

Manufacturer

Several manufacturers in Russia produce products under the Rodnye Korma brand, commissioned by Pet Care Company LLC. Dry dog ​​food is produced by Limkorm, while wet and canned food are produced by the Yelets Meat Processing Plant and the Naro-Fominsk Canning Plant. The manufacturers position the main product lines as premium pet foods that are 100% Russian-made. This is confirmed by the fact that Rodnye Korma is produced by:

• exclusively from domestic raw materials;
• according to the original local recipe;
• with the Russian brand name;
• in packaging designed in accordance with national cultural traditions;
• on the territory of the country by Russian producers.

Products are manufactured using high-tech equipment. The manufacturing process and quality are strictly monitored by qualified nutritionists.

Advantages and disadvantages

"Native Foods" is a complete diet consisting of only natural ingredients without dyes, flavors, or preservatives. Other benefits include:

• using different types of meat or meat product flour as a source of protein;
• a wide range of products, including all types of dog food;
• Affordable price, constant availability of all product lines on sale.

At the same time, buyers note some shortcomings of "Native Korms", the main ones being:

• the absence of an indication of the preservatives used in the composition description (they are all referred to under the general name “antioxidants”);
• insufficient amount of vitamins and minerals, which does not provide for the animal’s daily requirements;
• excessive use of wheat and corn grits.

It's worth noting that these shortcomings are common to most similar products from other brands (with the exception of the vitamin and mineral complex). Therefore, given its minimal price, Rodnye Korma dog food offers a significant advantage over other premium products.

Assortment

The following product lines are produced under the Rodnye Korma brand:

• treats (mostly oven-dried);
• canned food "Rodnye Korma" for dogs ("Tender", "Meat Treat", "Noble");
• wet food (also canned, but using a different technology, separately for large and small breeds);
• Dry dog ​​food "Rodnye Korma" (for puppies, adult dogs, highly active dogs, large breeds).

Using products from all of this brand's lines, you can easily create a virtually complete diet for a dog of any breed, age, or temperament. However, given the lack of vitamins and minerals, it is recommended to provide an appropriate amount of beneficial supplements. Furthermore, the manufacturer offers a variety of treats made from natural ingredients at a very affordable price.

Compound

The basis of "Native Kormy" consists of meat and vegetable components, chicken fat, a probiotic and vitamin-mineral complex, and other useful additives.

Squirrels

The protein sources in this brand's dry products are meat meal, while the canned products are made from meat and by-products. Manufacturers typically use chicken, beef, or lamb (at least 15%), as well as liver and heart.

Meat protein consists of amino acids (in this case, lysine and DL-methionine), which are the building blocks of muscles, organs, and other body tissues in dogs, especially puppies. In this regard, "Rodnye Korma" can fully meet the needs of both growing and adult dogs.

Fats

Chicken fat is used as a source of fatty acids in Rodnye Kormy. This component significantly improves the product's taste and energy value.

When introduced into an animal's diet, the fat content alone satisfies up to 50% of the daily energy requirement. Increased fat intake is recommended for puppies during growth, as well as for adult dogs during lactation or increased physical activity.

Carbohydrates

The third most important ingredients in Rodnye dry food are wheat and corn, which provide the dog with carbohydrates. In canned food, the source of this macronutrient is primarily rice.

Carbohydrates also include fiber, which is considered an essential component of any dog ​​food. Dietary fiber, found in plant-based supplements, helps normalize bowel movements, promoting regular bowel movements. Dried pumpkin, dried apples, and other dried fruits are most often used as such supplements at Rodnye Korma.

Additional components

Additionally, the following are added to the composition of “Native Feeds”:

• vitamin and mineral supplements;
• Antioxidants are essentially preservatives that prevent a product from spoiling quickly.

Furthermore, all products from this brand contain a unique proprietary product, ProStor, developed at the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This synbiotic supplement enhances the body's defenses by stimulating metabolic processes and strengthening the immune system.

Price

Despite all the benefits and high quality, this brand's products stand out from the competition with their very affordable price. For example, you can buy Rodnye Korma dog food at the following prices:

• dry, 2 kg – 350–420 rubles;
• dry, 16.38 kg – 2100–2600 rubles;
• canned food, 410 g – from 70 rubles;
• canned food, 970 g – from 140 rubles;
• treats – from 80 rubles.

The prices indicated may be significantly reduced during promotional periods.

Reviews

The brand's products are quite common on the Russian market, so online reviews of Rodnye Korma dog food are common. Almost all of them are based on positive experiences with all lines of this brand.

Olga, owner Pekingese

"We feed our dog Rodnye Korma canned food. He eats very well, his stool is normal, and his activity level is off the charts. The product is perfect."

Alena, owner of a German Shepherd

"I agree with the positive reviews about Rodnye Korma dry dog ​​food. We've been feeding it to our beloved pet for six months now. He feels great, is very active and cheerful, and his coat is shiny."

Petr Simonov, a veterinarian with 5 years of experience

"This product has a good composition. But I would recommend using it as a supplement to the main diet. Although it depends on the dog's condition—for some, this diet may be quite sufficient."
