Reviews

Sergey Vasilyevich Melnik, veterinarian:

"Zhivaya Sila" (Living Force) pet foods were recently created and are already gaining popularity among dog owners. Developed by a team of practicing dog handlers and veterinarians, the formulas were carefully crafted, and these diets are considered holistic. The main source of protein in all types of food is meat and fish products, and they are rich in vitamins and minerals. Another advantage of this brand is its wide selection, allowing you to choose food for dogs with different physical activity levels—few other foods offer such a narrow specification.

One drawback I can note is that some diet options contain corn, which is harder to digest than, for example, rice. My colleagues have received good reviews of Zhiyaya Sila dog food."

Oleg, Rostov-on-Don:

"I tried feeding my six-month-old Labrador Retriever puppy 'live force.' I bought a 2.5 kg bag of Jung's small kibble to test it out. He ate readily, and his stool and general health were normal. I decided the food was suitable and bought a larger 5 kg bag. Then, an unpleasant surprise: the puppy completely refused to eat it. The cause was quickly discovered: we discovered a gray mold coating on the kibble. Naturally, the food was thrown out, and we stopped using this brand. I wonder whose fault this is: the manufacturer, who didn't comply with regulatory requirements, or the retailer, who stored the food in inappropriate conditions."

Valery, Amur region:

"I'm a hunter and have a German Shorthaired Pointer. They're a picky breed; they don't eat just any food. I tried feeding her dry food from different brands, mostly without success—Gerda didn't like them. I learned about Zhivaya Sila (Living Force) food online. I checked the ingredients and liked that everything was natural, almost the same as in the expensive Canadian brand "Go." I bought a package of Fitness with beef and herring. To my surprise, she happily ate a decent portion. If things continue this way, we'll switch to this food."
