Cat food “Innova evo”: composition and types of products, cost

March 19, 2018

Natura Pet Products entered the cat food market back in 2004, presenting its Innova Evo product line, calling it a revolution in the cat diet system. As an advertisement, at first the food was given out for free. This allowed any cat owner to provide a new food for their pet to taste. At that time, the market did not offer many high quality feeds. Therefore, the release of Innova Evo, which for the first time did not contain a less useful ballast ingredient - grain, was a real event.

Natura Pet Products adheres to the following philosophy regarding its products: the food produced should be as similar in composition as possible to the diet of wild cats of antiquity. Innova Evo is one of the most popular and favorite food series among consumers.

What to choose

Sometimes an ordinary breeder gets lost and doesn’t know which cat food to choose.
Inexpensive, but of high quality will be considered premium. If the cat is healthy, does not experience problems with the gastrointestinal tract and does not suffer from allergic reactions, then you can opt for this line. You can always choose the appropriate option from the samples presented. If the cat has suffered a serious illness, has been neutered, or has been prescribed a treatment menu, then it is necessary to consider food from the super premium series. In this case, you can choose a diet that fully satisfies the animal’s needs and helps it maintain normal health.

Food from the holistic series is recommended for show cats and individuals that are used for breeding and continuation of the pedigree. This menu maintains the natural beauty of the coat, teeth and general standard of appearance.

Owners who have different animals in the house often ask whether dogs eat cat food. Of course, it completely satisfies them in terms of taste, but the nutritional value may not be enough. Therefore, a completely different menu is provided for them.

Feed cost

The cost of Now is not much more expensive than premium food, which cannot boast of a similar composition

Now belongs to the holistic class, but is only slightly more expensive than the premium Royal Canin

It is most profitable to order food from online stores such as LiDMart, PetShop and OZON. I have chosen several sites that are most convenient for me and regularly check them for promotions that will allow me to buy a large package of food very cheaply. However, consider the strength and appetite of your animal. If the best price is for the largest quantity, will the cat be able to eat the entire package before the food goes bad?

Each animal, as well as humans, is unique. What works great for some cats causes unwanted reactions or simply disgust in others. However, many breeders and simply cat owners believe that feeding holistic foods benefits their pets and find Now a very worthy representative of this class.

A fly in the ointment: the shortcomings of the “ancestral diet”

Strange as it may sound, the main (although not the most obvious) drawback of the EVO line of food is due to its super composition.

When disadvantages are a continuation of advantages

A distinctive feature of EVO food - its high protein content - is fraught with a certain danger. The manufacturer recommends using its products for cats:

• no health problems;
• leading an active and mobile lifestyle.

And if an active pet (like a couch potato) is immediately visible, then it will not be possible to determine whether the animal is completely healthy without a serious examination.

My friend had a sphinx girl of rare grace and intelligence. A young, active cat with no visible health problems. Since everything happened in Dublin (Ireland), it was not difficult for my friend to find food for her pet recommended by a familiar breeder. However, after two weeks of taking Evo Turkey & Chicken Formula Cat & Kitten Food, the animal’s urine became very dark, and the vigilant owner took the cat to the clinic. The test results unexpectedly revealed that Clumsy had congenital kidney problems, and with sick and weakened kidneys, the amount of protein consumed should be very high. moderate. Otherwise, the organ will be overloaded, and the development of pathology will accelerate. Which, in fact, is what happened to my friend’s pet. However, in this case, the saying “There would have been no happiness, but misfortune helped” is very appropriate: who knows how events would have developed if it weren’t for the high-protein food and the vigilance of my friend. And so the disease was discovered and eventually cured

But everything could have turned out much worse if the owner had not paid attention to the color of the cat’s urine.

Sad message from the manufacturer

Consumers have traditionally attributed the obvious disadvantages of EVO products to the high price and the fact that food from this brand is difficult to find on sale. Unfortunately, since the summer of 2022, such complaints have lost their relevance: the manufacturer announced the cessation of production of EVO brand food. As it turns out, it is expensive not only to buy, but also to produce holistic food of appropriate quality for cats.

Dear EVO Family: It is with great sadness that we announce the discontinuation of EVO Pet Foods in the summer of 2018. We will greatly miss the role we played in your families over the years by providing high quality nutrition to your beloved pets. This decision was not easy for us. Our employees put their soul and all their knowledge into the development and production of EVO. And we know that fans of the brand have always appreciated us highly. Feed has simply become too expensive to produce at the level of quality we require. In the end we decided to close the brand. We understand and share your disappointment.

But our man doesn’t give up so easily. I spent over an hour searching for the latest EVO products available for sale. What can I say: sad. The only thing we were able to find was canned EVO 95 Grain Free Chicken and Turkey in Gravy Canned Cat Food. Twenty-four 156g jars were still available today (03/17/2019) on the PetFlow website for $36.50.

Enova dog food - reviews

Despite the fact that these foods have been sold in Russian stores for several years, there are not many reviews about them on the Internet. Below we have published a few of what we found.

Reviews from veterinarians

We did not find any direct reviews from veterinarians about Enova brand food. If these appear in the future, we will definitely supplement this review with them.

I ordered Enova Adult Sensitive for my Toychiki and Shih Tzu to try - so far the flight is excellent, I like the “output”, the appearance, the small amount, and almost no smell. Now I will watch how the white fur behaves, I hope it won’t turn pink.

Julia writes:

We ate Enova food for puppies with chicken and Maintenance for adults. Now I have taken another lamb for puppies and a sensitive one for show adults. Well, maintenance for the rest. Everything seems to be fine for now. For the money the composition is very decent.

The food looks very good. They eat well (but mine eat everything well). Food for puppies is fatty - if I overfeed my pregnant one, then the stool will not be so great. I also took Enova for cats, it didn’t make them particularly delighted, but they eat it little by little. In the near future we plan to raise the litter after the starter on this food.

Andrey writes:

My dog ​​usually ate Farmina Cibau, but they stopped taking him and took ENOVA food. He seems to eat with pleasure, but not so much that he pounces. I think this is good, as if evidence that there are no flavor enhancers. The first time I tried Junior Chicken Rice with chicken and rice, and now I took Simple Formula. He also seems to go to the toilet normally.

The composition seems to be good, especially in grain-free food. But grain-free eats a little worse. So far he’s finishing the 2 kg package, and there are thoughts of trying GO!. Although I'm not sure yet

it's a bit expensive.

Super premium

• 1st Choice Kitten Healthy Start;
• Bozita Feline Funktion Kitten;
• Brit Premium Kitten Chicken;
• Royal Canin Kitten;
• Hills Ideal Balance Kitten;
• Leonardo Kitten;
• Bosch Sanabelle Kitten;
• Eucanuba Kitten Healthy Start.

These foods aren't perfect, but they're still very good. They contain a good amount of high-quality protein (although the sources are usually poorer and less varied than holistic ones), without too many carbohydrates. They may contain allergenic corn and wheat, as well as not the best fats.

If we turn to human analogies, this is approximately the same as food in a good cafe: tasty (natural flavors are added to these foods) and contains all the substances necessary for life, but in some places it is too sweet or too fatty, and sometimes it seems that it was fried on cheap oil.

However, most kittens on this food feel great, look great, grow well and do not get sick, and purebred babies are successfully exhibited. Many nursery owners feed their animals with food of this class.

I want to change my dog’s food to a better quality one. I read the characteristics of dry food and settled on Innova. I just don’t know which one to choose. There is one for puppies of large breeds, and there is one for all breeds... As I understand it, they have two lines of food, but it doesn’t seem to be divided into puppy food.... And another question: is it sold in regular stores or only through the Internet? I want to take a small package to try, but online stores usually cost from 1500-2000 rubles. order….

We recently switched to Innova Dog for large breeds. There is also Innova Evo - but in my opinion there is too much protein for retrievers (this has been discussed many times on the forum). Although some eat - and nothing. But we decided not to risk it. I don’t know how it is in Moscow, but in St. Petersburg there is currently Innova Dog for large puppies, for large adult dogs, and for small adults, all chicken and turkey. Here we are eating food for large adults (the dog is 9 months old) - he is not a skinny boy, I decided that it is already quite normal to eat adult food. The transition (from Hills) went without problems, we eat well too, we ate about 5 kilograms :) I don’t notice much difference in the dog, but the amount of “waste” during the walk has decreased

They do not have a separate crate for adult dogs. breeds There is simply Innova Dog. It's suitable for everyone. Good food, but problems with supplies, so we left it.

We switched to grain-free Orijen. But I don't know how you feel about high protein foods. My dog ​​is better on it than on Innova. The ears have stopped getting dirty and are in excellent condition.

If it weren’t for the supply shortages of Innova, we would have stayed with it. But to be honest, at the end of the month I got tired of frantically looking for food

Orijen...oh, so many bad reviews about him...Yesterday I went shopping in search of food, because... I want to take a small bag to try. I didn’t find Akana, Orizhen, or even Innova for puppies. I had to take Ekanuba...we'll see!

which ones for example? I’ve heard a lot of bad things about ekanuba. but on the other hand, you have to look at the dog. If you are from Moscow, then you can buy Innova in Strogono, directly from the company. they have samples there

Where in Strogino?

We are also almost 9 months old, but it seems to me that it is still too early to switch to an adult... What age is indicated on your package?

I once compared the composition of puppy and adult food from the same companies - the differences are almost exclusively in the amount of proteins and fats. Our dogs tend to be overweight, so they don't need a lot of the proteins and fats that are usually in puppy food at this age. And many professional foods do not have a division at all into puppy and adult food; you just need to give them different amounts relative to weight. And who in nature divides what to feed puppies and adult animals? Animals eat the same thing, just different amounts. Innova has puppy food (at least for large puppies for sure), but I think at 9 months it’s quite possible to eat adult food. But if in doubt, buy a puppy one!

In St. Petersburg they say no interruptions are expected, I buy from the petshop.ru store..

When there was an interruption with Innova, I also bought Orijen. And she intervened very gradually. However, my entire belly became covered and the skin on my back began to peel off.

Innova arrived and came back. Everything has returned to normal. TTT

Everything is very individual

Advance food for cats

Advance is food for cats and dogs that is produced in Spain. The manufacturer of these foods is Affinity Petcare SA. This company was founded in 1963. At first, Affinity Petcare SA produced only dog ​​food, but in the late 90s, products for other animals appeared. The main production plant for Advance is located in Spain, but there are also subsidiaries in France, Italy and other countries. In addition to Advance, the company also owns other brands: Premium, Brekkies, Ultima, etc.

Affinity Petcare SA produces not only Advance, but also other pet foods

Advance: premium or super premium

Cat food is divided into 4 classes:

• economy - the cheapest food, which may not contain meat;
• premium - may contain some meat, but may also contain artificial additives (dyes, preservatives, etc.);
• superpremium - they have practically no “chemicals”, they contain meat (including fresh), but there are also cheap ingredients - cereals, potatoes, rice, etc.;
• Holistic is the most expensive food, containing up to 90% meat (there are no synthetic components), but you can only buy it from official representatives.

"Advance" belongs to the super-premium class, but some veterinarians call it a premium segment product. The manufacturer clearly distinguishes the ownership of its products. Thus, Advance food is presented as super premium, Premium brand food is positioned as premium, and Brekkies products are positioned as economy class food.

How much does it cost and where to buy

• packages of 400 g - from 150 to 200 rubles;
• packages of 1.5 kg - from 600 to 780 rubles;
• packages of 3 kg - from 950 to 1250 rubles;
• bags of 12 kg - from 3000 to 5500 rubles.

I try to buy the food that is available in the pet store (so that I can see with my own eyes the composition indicated on the package). My sister orders food on the Internet. She pays for delivery, but she doesn’t have to go anywhere. And if you order several packages at once, you can also save money. And several times stores gave her gifts for orders. Among my friends there are also professional breeders. One of the breeders orders exclusively large bags of food (this is understandable, there are a lot of animals). In this case, the savings are up to 30–40%.

The cost of food depends not only on the store itself, but also on the type of food, as well as on the volume of packaging

Advantages and disadvantages of food

The main advantages of Advance food:

• Components of animal origin are mainly used as a source of protein;
• a wide range (in addition to everyday food, there is preventive food);
• “children’s” recipes with increased amounts of nutrients have been developed;
• the feed contains a lot of vitamins and minerals;
• affordable price (from 300 rubles per 1 kg).

The main disadvantages of Advance:

• inaccurate composition (the main part of the components is indicated in the form of groups: “chicken”, “dry proteins”, etc.);
• some components are not specified (for example, there is a general wording “antioxidants”);
• part of the protein in the feed is vegetable proteins (for example, corn gluten);
• there is no wet ruler;
• ingredients that cause allergies (yeast) were used to produce the food;
• In addition to rice, the feed contains barley - a filler grain.

The main disadvantage of Advance food is the imperfection of the composition.

Characteristics of holistic class feeds

Holistic nutrition can be recognized by the Holistic label on the packaging.
It was first used by the American company Innova. There is no clear definition of this type of food; there are also no GOSTs or legally declared quality standards. The main differences between holistic products are high quality and a completely natural, balanced composition that is beneficial for cats. In appearance, holistic food differs little from ordinary food - the main difference is in its ingredients

Signs of holistic nutrition

Currently, holistic products are usually identified as a separate type, included in the super-premium group: they can be called a new generation of this type of food. But not all super premium foods are holistic.

Do not forget also that food may be labeled Holistic, but not be so - this remains at the discretion of the manufacturer. It's best to be vigilant and remember some signs of quality. Moreover, there may not be special markings on the packaging of holistic medicine - first of all, you need to focus on the composition of the product and other signs:

• on feed from American or Canadian manufacturers there must be a mention of AAFCO (American Association of Governmental Food Control) - this regulatory body monitors how well the product meets the nutritional needs of the animal;
• always look at the composition of the food, it should not include cheap ingredients that are useless for your pet (see table below);
• in the first place in the composition there should be protein, and with a specific indication of the type of meat, ideally it contains at least two types of protein;
• the food must have composition analysis data showing the values ​​of four nutrients - crude protein, fat, fiber and moisture: the minimum value of protein in dry food for healthy cats is 30%, fat - 8%, fiber should contain no more than 10%;
• for wet food - protein at least 8%, fat at least 4%, fiber - 3% or less.

When choosing food, be sure to check its composition

Table: holistic feed ingredients

Advantages and disadvantages

Based on the above, let’s summarize the advantages of holistic feeds:

• natural ingredients that minimize the risk of pet allergies;
• balanced composition, including everything a cat needs for a healthy life;
• economical - since holistic food is a highly nutritious product, the cat needs less of it to be full than usual.

But, of course, there are some downsides:

• high price;
• since it does not contain taste improvers or flavorings, the cat may not appreciate the delicious treat at first;
• Not all stores have holistic products.

Advantages of Innova Evo food

1. High quality ingredients are used in the production of food. The choice is made towards those products that benefit from their nutrient content. Also, an important factor is density (the ratio of nutrients and unit volume). At the same time, the cat receives all the required number of kilocalories by eating a small portion. This way, the stomach will stretch, and the pet will quickly get full.
2. The composition does not contain fractionated grains. Conducted studies have shown that they have a negative effect on the gastrointestinal tract of carnivores, which includes cats. Unlike most of its competitors, Natura Pet Products has completely abandoned the use of this component.
3. For the production of feed, only selected raw materials are used that have passed every stage of quality testing. To preserve useful elements to the maximum, processing and manufacturing procedures are controlled at every stage. Thus, Innova Evo products undergo more than 100 quality checks during production. Thanks to this, both the high quality of the food and its safety for the health of furry consumers are ensured.
4. In the production of feed, the use of artificial additives, dyes and preservatives is eliminated. Natura Pet Products values ​​its reputation and does not add ingredients to its production that will not be beneficial for pets. Many other pet foods contain an abundance of various types of chemical additives, preservatives, ethoxyquin and BHA/BHT, which are banned almost worldwide for human use. However, numerous laboratory studies show that the food brand under review does not contain such ingredients.
5. The ingredients contained in the food help improve the condition of the skin and coat. As a rule, in order for the appearance of the animal to be ideal (here we are talking more about pets participating in exhibitions), cat owners put a lot of effort and money. First of all, they must provide their animal with meat. In addition, the cat's menu should contain high-quality fats and oils, vitamins and nutrients in large quantities. It seems impossible to create an ideal balanced menu yourself without special knowledge, experience and training. And it’s not necessary, since this has already been done by a number of Natura Pet Products specialists. Feeding Innova Evo cat food gives the owner confidence that their pet is eating meat and not useless pseudo-protein fillers and cheap fat.

What are holistics and where did they come from?

In 2004, the American company Natura Pet Products introduced consumers to its first line of grain-free pet food, Innova Evo. At the same time, with the light hand of the manufacturer, the lexicon of felinologists (cat specialists) and cat owners was enriched with the new term “holistic” - “holistic”, “full”. The company argued that the new Evo holistic food follows the principle of “the value of the whole is greater than the value of each individual part”, and a harmonious combination of balanced ingredients can have a beneficial effect on the health of the animal:

• strengthening your pet's immunity;
• mobilizing the body's reserve forces in case of illness;
• facilitating and accelerating recovery;
• successfully solving the problem of food allergies;
• normalizing digestion.

In addition, the manufacturer insisted, the new products have a number of additional advantages:

1. Made from “human grade” ingredients suitable for human nutrition.
2. They have a mandatory content of essential nutrients confirmed by a guaranteed analysis:
   crude protein (protein) – at least 30% for dry food and at least 8% for wet food;
3. fat - at least 8% for dry food and at least 4% for wet food;
4. dietary fiber (fiber) - maximum 10% for dry food and maximum 3% for wet food.
5. Enriched with essential vitamins and minerals and are a balanced, complete product.
6. They do not contain synthetic preservatives, flavors, dyes or ballast fillers.
7. They are well digestible (85–90%) and quickly satiate, so that the animal requires a small recommended daily portion of food.

In full accordance with its name, the products of the American company represented an innovation in the pet food market and had practically no serious competitors. Thus, through the efforts of Natura Pet Products, a new ultra-premium class has appeared in the classification of cat food - the holistic class, the ancestor of which was the Innova Evo line.

Holistic (ultra-premium) food, together with super-premium class food, form the top of the “classification pyramid” of industrial cat food

Features of feed

The term “holistic” comes from the word “holism” (translated from Greek as “whole”, “complete”). Holism, in turn, is an everyday philosophy that implies the idyll and unity of the surrounding world, the human soul and body. The principle of this philosophy was formed by Aristotle, and it sounds like this: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

Holistic food for cats, the rating of which we present to you today, are products that occupy leading positions in sales, reviews from experts and animal owners. They are as close as possible to cat nutrition in natural, natural conditions.

Holistics contain only fish or meat. Much less often the composition includes high-quality by-products. But they do not contain cereals, thanks to which producers of lower-quality feed reduce the cost of their products.

Manufacturer

Innova cat food is produced in the USA. Since 2004, Innova has received many positive reviews from veterinarians all over the world. The company produces holistic-class food. The composition of this manufacturer's products is designed in such a way as to avoid all kinds of allergic reactions in the animal. To do this, the food is as close as possible to the natural diet of the animal. Thanks to this approach, Innova food not only improves digestive processes and protects the cat’s body from urolithiasis, but also slows down aging and improves immunity.

Advantages and disadvantages

Veterinarians consider the advantages of Innova cat food to be:

• Guaranteed use of only high-quality and fresh products.
• High nutritional value and excellent composition, fully balanced with all the substances necessary for the normal functioning of the cat’s body. It is high in protein, low in carbohydrates and completely free of grains. Grain-free food is better digestible and does not cause flatulence or constipation in the cat.
• The absence of ingredients containing potential allergens, preservatives and other chemicals harmful to the body.
• As a separate advantage, experts note the presence in Innova food of probiotics, which stimulate the vital activity of the natural microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as herbal components that prevent the development of urolithiasis in cats.

Reviews from veterinarians

Mikhail, Ufa

“I had to deal with a lot of feed. First of all, you should pay attention to the amount of protein in the product. So, in Innova food marked Evo it is a little too high and should not be given to a calm and lazy cat. Otherwise, these foods are good for preventing many diseases.”

Evgeniy, Izhevsk

“For preventive purposes, Innova food can be given to animals of almost any age. However, for constant nutrition, it is advisable to give them to kittens who are already six weeks old.”

Acana

Food from the famous Canadian company Champion Petfoods, which has been producing cat and dog food products for many years, is extremely popular among owners who are concerned about the health of their pets. This is due to the quality of the ingredients used. A well-known manufacturer exercises strict control at all stages of production.

In addition, in Canada it is almost impossible to write on the packaging that the food contains fresh meat, but only put corn and bone meal inside, which, unfortunately, is often the sin of Russian manufacturers. Acana food is a complete, balanced product that does not require any additives in your cat's diet. It contains no grains, allergens, or chemical additives.

Reviews

Cat owners note that pets receiving Acana food eat much less food than when using cheap analogues. Cats drink more water, which has a beneficial effect on the health of their kidneys. The disadvantage of this product can be considered a not very large assortment and the lack of medicinal compounds.

Experts believe that this food contains too much protein, so it is not recommended for castrated and sedentary animals. In addition, owners note that sometimes excess protein provokes food allergies, which are manifested by severe shedding and scratching in particularly sensitive animals.

The best canned food for cats made from natural whole meat and fish

Products consisting of high-quality meat and fish are very popular with pets and their owners. These products are quite expensive, but they provide the animals with energy and health.

The best canned foods include:

Leonardo

The product has an excellent natural composition and does not contain any GMOs or preservatives. It comes in a wide range of flavors, so the buyer can regularly surprise his pet. Cats will remember this treat for a long time.

Sheba

Not too expensive, the food contains useful minerals and vitamins necessary for the cat, as well as the absence of grains and chemicals. Of course, many owners and their pets like it, but it has several disadvantages. Most often, people note that when purchasing they do not have the opportunity to choose the size of the pack, since they are all the same. In addition, a portion in one package is only suitable for one meal, so you have to buy several pieces at once.

Our Brand

A domestic product intended for adult pets is often classified as Premium. It is presented to customers in a fairly wide range of flavors. The composition contains the well-known taurine, which is not so easy to find in competitive products. This food is sold in almost all pet stores, so you won’t have any problems finding it. Among the disadvantages, it should be noted the presence of corn and wheat, which act as allergens, as well as the abundant content of by-products of dubious quality, for example, poultry meal.

Brit Care

A special Czech food is sold in tin cans that open in a couple of seconds. In addition to the main components (meat and fish), the composition also contains certain valerian formulations, thanks to which pets gobble up the treat with great pleasure.

Schesir

Italian food can be used as the main food for pets of different ages. It comes in a variety of flavors and is low in fat.

What is the best dry cat food according to veterinarians? Rating

Holistic segment feed

When shopping for cat food, ratings matter a lot. You should opt for elite food if:

• the cat belongs to a rare, expensive breed;
• the owner is a professional breeder;
• the animal actively participates in exhibitions;
• Lower grade food causes stomach upset in your pet.

Elite food is expensive, but significantly extends the lifespan of a pet. It is suitable for those who decide to spay or neuter their pet.

Elite food suitable for purebred cats

Innova Cat and Kitten

The main advantage is the variety of flavors: turkey, veal, pork, lamb. Moreover, the taste nuances vary greatly, you can compare them and choose the best one.

The animal will not get tired of such food if you alternate between different types. As the name of this cat food suggests, it is suitable for babies, pregnant and lactating cats, as well as sick and weakened pets. The average protein content is high. The components do not cause allergies or individual intolerances.

join the discussion

In recent years, ready-made cat food has become a particularly popular food for pets. They are not only balanced and very nutritious, but also quite economical, because owners do not waste time preparing them for their pets. In this article, we will take a closer look at the highest quality cat foods, their classification, expensive and budget options, and also read reviews from veterinarians and owners.

Innova EVO Diet Options

Innova EVO dog food is manufactured in America and belongs to the super premium class of holistic products. Nutrition undergoes many quality checks and is ranked among the top three holistic providers in the whole world. The food is aimed at the treatment and prevention of the following diseases:

• allergies and dermatitis;
• indigestion;
• renal failure;
• heart failure;
• joint problem;
• urolithiasis disease;
• heart failure.

The food is presented with dry croquettes and wet canned food, the composition is rich in the following ingredients:

• meat of several types;
• fruits;
• vitamins;
• sea ​​fish;
• complex of vitamins;
• medicinal herbs;
• fish oil;
• vegetable ingredients.

Which series should you choose for your pet?

Innova EVO dog food is presented in several lines: Innova evo, Red Meat and Reduced Fat, which are divided into series according to the age, weight and breed of the animal, which is indicated on each package.

Innova evo

This series is suitable for all adult dogs and puppies; there is a separate division into breeds. But the diet options differ only in the size of the croquettes, composition, and flavor solutions. You can give food from three months of life to seven years. There are about 10 options to choose from, in addition to wet canned food.

Red Meat Series

In the Red Meat line, almost all food is presented in the form of canned food, so it is considered high in protein, protein and nutritious. The peculiarity of the diet is a large amount of meat, from 60%, and an almost complete absence of other components besides vitamins. The food is suitable for adult dogs of all breeds and for active pets from one year of age.

Reduced Fat

The Reduced Fat series is a therapeutic, hypoallergenic diet that is aimed at preventing obesity, getting rid of dermatitis, and constipation. Suitable food for adult dogs and aging animals. The basis of nutrition is a large amount of venison, chicken and turkey; additionally vegetables, cottage cheese, eggs, chondroitin, fish meat, and mineral complexes are used.

Remember that you can hardly find Innova evo canned and dry food on the domestic market, and the existing options are represented by only a few flavors for mature dogs and puppies.

The best Economy class food

Budget products are actively advertised by manufacturers, so you can notice them on the shelves of any pet store or even supermarket. The list of leading products in this class includes:

All Cats

The food contains cereals, which are a source of carbohydrates, meat, and animal products. In addition, there is also a source of fiber - vegetables. The percentages of ingredients contained are not indicated here, although this does not bother buyers at all.

Josera

A wonderful product, devoid of shortcomings, is presented to customers in a wide range of flavors. The manufacturer guarantees the safety and usefulness of the diet for every furry pet. Absolutely every component is certified for human consumption.

Stout

An advantageous product with an excellent composition contains a sufficient amount of vitamins and antioxidants that prevent feed spoilage. It also contains poultry meal, wheat, corn and rice. One of the disadvantages of the product is that it contains too much vegetable protein.

Our Brand

Widespread products are famous for the presence of mineral additives, amino acids, proteins and vitamins. The antioxidant is, of course, also present here, but its specific name is not indicated, which is a drawback. In addition, some owners are not happy that the product is based on corn.

Bosch Sanabelle

Free of artificial appetite stimulants, artificial colors and soy protein, this food is an excellent food for all cats. It is balanced and healthy. This product is perfect for both small kittens and adult pets spending time at home and outside.

Good news from the manufacturer: not the cheapest, but a high-quality replacement

Announcing the closure of the EVO brand, MARS PetCare Family invited its customers to pay attention to the new WILD FRONTIER food produced by the same manufacturer. Any product in this line is a grain-free, high-protein diet for cats, still labeled as “Ancestral Diet.”

But there is no explanation on the packaging: it is the “human” requirements for the quality and safety of raw materials that make the production of holistic products prohibitively expensive for many companies. And, unfortunately, the number of natural fruits and vegetables in new products has greatly decreased. So, the EVO holistic food was replaced by the high-quality super-premium food WILD FRONTIER.

Today this line includes 6 types of dry food for cats of different ages and 12 wet diets for adult animals. The manufacturer uses the following as a source of animal protein:

• beef;
• chicken;
• duck;
• salmon;
• trout;
• turkey;
• white fish meat.

And, of course, there are no grains, soy, cellulose or other ballast fillers, as well as synthetic components in WILD FRONTIER feed. Only peas, tapioca, potatoes and dried beets acceptable to predators.

Table: guaranteed analysis of WILD FRONTIER cat food

• 15–18 EUR/kg for wet food;
• 7–10 EUR/kg for dry food.

Photo gallery: WILD FRONTIER cat food

The WILD FRONTIER brand produces 6 types of dry food for cats of different ages.
Well, the manufacturer has offered a high-quality replacement for discontinued EVO brand products. All you have to do is choose.

At one time, the Innova Evo brand caused major changes in the pet food industry: largely thanks to its grain-free, high-protein “human grade” diets, the quality of our pets’ food became comparable to the quality of our food. How justified this is, and whether your cat needs it, is up to you to decide. The main thing is that even after the closure of the brand, the class of holistic food, the ancestor of which was the Innova Evo line, continues to delight consumers with albeit expensive, but very high-quality products. This means you always have a choice.

Dry food

"Innova EVO Turkey & Chicken Formula Cat & Kitten Food"

The bulk of this food consists of turkey and chicken meat, as well as eggs. In addition, there are fruits. Sold in packages of 1, 3 and 7 kilograms. Can be given to both adult cats and

kittens. Mixing food with other products is not recommended.

"Innova EVO Herring & Salmon Formula Cat & Kitten Food"

Most of the food consists of herring, salmon and eggs. Various vegetables are used as vitamin supplements. Packaged in bags of 1, 3 and 7 kilograms. Suitable for adult animals only. Should not be mixed with other foods, especially natural foods.

Range

Innova cat food is available in dry kibble and wet canned forms. The composition of the dry or wet feed mixture, as well as its purpose, is indicated on the packaging. Innova croquettes and canned food can be used for cats of all breeds, at any age and state of health, with any degree of activity of the animal. This is ensured by the availability of a wide range of special types of food (for adult cats, kittens, obese animals or old cats).

Croquettes

This type of food is prepared by extrusion, mixing its components with water, and then passing the mushy mixture through an extruder. The output is small granules, which are then dried and packaged in sealed bags. They should be stored for no longer than 90 days, and an opened package for a week, placing it in a cool, dark place and protecting it from moisture.

The daily amount of dry food is calculated depending on the weight, age and activity level of the animal. Approximate figures can be seen in the table below.

Natura Pet Products offers several Innova dry menus. Let's look at one of them, Innova EVO Cat. It includes:

• turkey and chicken meat,
• meat and fish meal,
• chicken and fish oil,
• egg,
• vegetables (carrots, tomatoes),
• apple,
• cottage cheese,
• amino acids taurine and methionine,
• 12 types of vitamins,
• 9 types of microelements.

Such a rich composition makes the food a complete food product that provides the cat with a healthy, active life. The Innova dry food range also includes:

• Adult Cat.
  Dry food for adult cats based on chicken meat.
• EVO Herring & Salmon .
  Menu based on salmon, herring, vegetables and eggs. Designed for adult cats.
• EVO Turkey & Chicken.
  Croquettes for kittens and adult cats. The composition includes poultry, eggs and fruits.
• Designed for kittens, pregnant and lactating cats. The main product is chicken meat.
• Light/Indoor Cat.
  Menu based on chicken meat for cats prone to obesity, as well as animals over 7 years old.
• Croquettes for cats with sensitive digestion, the food contains special additives that help remove hair from the gastrointestinal tract. The main product is fish.

Innova croquettes are packaged in sealed bags. The price of the package depends on its weight, and on average is:

• 400 g - 235÷ 250 rub.;
• 1.5 kg - 820 rub.;
• 4 kg - 1795÷1955 rub.

Important! The protein content in dry food is high, in Innova Evo it reaches 30÷50%, so felinologists recommend it for active, healthy cats. For animals with liver or kidney pathologies, elderly and neutered cats, it is better to choose a diet where the proportion of proteins is not so high

It is not recommended to mix dry food with wet or home-prepared food.

Canned food

This ready-made cat food is available in the form of sterilized meat stew or pate. The meat can be drenched in broth or jelly, or mixed with vegetables. Holistic canned food does not contain grains, potatoes, chemical preservatives or flavors. The price of a 156-gram jar of Innova wet food is 125 ÷ 140 rubles.

Innova canned cat food can be mixed with natural food and can serve as a main or additional food product. The daily norm is determined at the rate of 50÷55 g per 1 kg of animal weight, that is, if your pet weighs 3.5 kg, its daily portion will be 1.25 jars. An open jar can be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 3 days. Before feeding the cat, the contents of the jar should be warmed to room temperature.

Questions that the buyer may have

Dry food storage

Dry food should be stored in a cool place with low humidity, preferably protected from direct sunlight. In this case, the top part of the bag should be tightly wrapped and secured with a paper clip. It is not recommended to pour food into food containers. If such a need arises, then the entire bag of food should be placed in the container. Opened packages can be stored for 90 days.

Wet food storage

Cans of wet food are stored in a dark place, protected from high temperatures. You can store opened jars in the refrigerator for 72 hours under a plastic lid.

Thermal treatment of feed

Innova feed does not require additional heat treatment. All products are either baked or canned immediately before release.

Is it possible to give a cat dog food?

Cats should not be given dog food as it digests slowly and can cause harm to the digestive system. As a last resort, you can feed dogs cat food, but such nutrition is incomplete.

Accustoming an animal to a new type of food

New food should be introduced into your cat's diet gradually. To accustom an animal to wet food, mix it into the animal's main diet, gradually increasing the amount of new food and negating the previous food. Give your animal dry food one to three times a day, gradually increasing the portion. This process usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. If your cat has an upset stomach, you should stop feeding the new type of food until the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is restored.

Feedback from cat owners

You can leave your reviews about Innova food, other users will be interested in: Grigory, Moscow

“My cat constantly had an upset stomach and no appetite. One vet suggested I try giving her Innova food. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in pet stores and had to order a bag of dry food online. My favorite immediately liked it, although usually it took a long time to beg her to try a new delicacy. She developed an unexpectedly large appetite; she even had to hide the bag of food from her. After 2 days I found that my stomach upset was gone. Now I only give her Innova food and have no worries!”

Ruslan, Lipetsk

“At first I gave my Barsik food from Gimpet. Unfortunately, we had to give up this type of food, since it was no longer sold in our supermarket, and look for suitable offers in online stores. I accidentally came across Innova food, about which I read very good reviews, and decided to try it. I ordered a package of 12 cans of canned food. Unfortunately, Barsik initially refused new food. Then I started mixing Innova with leftover Gimpet. Barsik reluctantly sniffed the new treat and began to eat carefully. So, by gradually reducing the amount of Gimpet, I accustomed him to the new food.”

Owner reviews

Meanwhile, most buyers believe that this high-quality product fully justifies its price, so you shouldn’t skimp on your pet’s health.

Reviews of Innova Evo food for dogs

Anna: To be honest, we personally haven’t used this food yet, but we would really like to. Our friends from America told us that he is very good, plus we read a lot of positive reviews, and the veterinarian also recommended him. The only thing that bothers me is the price. But at least for fun, you can buy a small pack.

Lera: We were lucky enough to feed the puppy Innova evo food for three months and we are very happy about it. We bought medicinal food because we had problems with poor digestion and terrible allergies. With great difficulty, we were able to buy Inova online. The price, of course, is high, but the result was not long in coming. Afterwards, we selected a good analogue.

Valya: We order on one website all the time, because we can’t find it in our stores. This food cannot be compared with similar holistic products, so the cost is quite reasonable. The food is very nutritious, healthy, even the regular series, and not just medicinal. The veterinarian said that the dog was healthy and quite savvy, and had a good appetite.
