Pet lovers are well versed in modern brands of cat food. The "night hunter," however, is not a very well-known brand. This is a complete nutrition for pets, domestic production. It is produced in the Rostov region, and today has its admirers both among cats and their owners. Today we’ll tell you a little more about this brand and the features of feed.
Manufacturer
The Night Hunter cat food is not produced by a novice company at all, but by the leading Russian manufacturer of canned premium pet food under the name ProdContractInvest LLC. A wide range of products can satisfy the requirements of the most demanding breeder. Today they are appreciated not only in Russia, but also in Belarus and Kazakhstan. The company’s assortment includes not only Night Hunter cat food. These are also the Puffins and Herbax brands.
Brand Features
What does every caring owner need? That his pet was healthy and cheerful for many years. And by and large it depends on what kind of food he receives. A cat is a predatory animal that cannot be fed milk and soup, as some people think. Cat food “Night Hunter” is made from high quality, natural and fresh raw materials from domestic suppliers.
For the production of feed, a special formulation was thought out, which takes into account the characteristics of animals and the requirements of veterinarians. The pet food line has been around since 2011. Such a long period indicates a high demand in the market, which means excellent quality.
Structure
First of all, the owners care about what the Night Hunter dry cat food consists of. Since it is positioned in the premium segment, consumers have the right to expect that the composition will be natural, without dyes and flavors. By the way, the price is quite attractive for its class. But unlike well-known brands of super-premium class, the list of ingredients is opaque. Although it’s good that he is there at all. Choosing feed of economy class you can not find the information that the product consists of.
At the heart - meat
The composition of cat food “Night Hunter” main ingredient include meat chicken meal or fish meal. Of course, they lose in this segment of super-premium, which contain meat. What's the Difference? The fact that chicken flour may include feathers, beaks, bones, entrails, which have less nutritional value than the meat itself. Keep in mind that feeds contain corn and soybean oil. If your pet does not tolerate plant components, it is better to choose a different line of feed. Additional ingredients are wholesome, beetroot pulp and chicken liver. The food is enriched with taurine and biotin, mineral compounds and vitamins.
Balanced composition
Dry cat food “Night Hunter” is really very good. If we consider the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, we see that the picture is very attractive. Food does not differ from the full-menu menus of the super-premium segment. The protein content is 33%, and in brands for kittens 35%. This confirms that it was meat that was used for the production of chicken flour, not bones and feathers. Fat in the composition of 16%, and fiber 4.5%.
Canned food
For kittens, as well as sick and weakened animals, canned food is most often used. Their composition is also very attractive: meat and offal, vegetable oil and cereals. In addition, vitamins and mineral compounds are added to them. The unique formula allows the use of canned food for feeding kittens, starting from a month of age. The owners note that even capricious animals are happy to eat this food.
A wide range of
There are three branches in total. The first is feed for kittens. The second is a ruler for adult animals. And the third is specialized feed. The most popular dry food for sterilized cats is the Night Hunter. Several tastes are provided, which makes it possible to diversify the pet's diet. These are chicken with rice, sea cocktail, cold cuts and lamb with rice.
Separately, it is worth mentioning about canned food. As part of this line, you can buy pieces of meat in sauce or jelly, pieces in cheese and sour cream sauce, pastes and specialized canned food for kittens and cats over 7 years old.
Advantages and disadvantages
What about the Night Hunter cat food? The reviews of the owners emphasize that they were somewhat wary of the appearance of a new brand. And about giving food to your pet in general there was no question. However, listening to the opinions of breeders and other owners, we decided to try. In most cases, the cat normally accepted the new food. Moreover, the transition did not affect the state of her health and activity. From this we can conclude that it is really high quality.
Another block of reviews belongs to those who, due to life circumstances, were forced to switch to cheaper feed, but did not want to risk the health of the pet. And in this case, dry food for adult cats “Night Hunter” perfectly helped out. True, there are negative reviews that report attacks of vomiting and worsening of the animal’s health. But individual intolerance to the product is not ruled out.
The opinion of experts
But what do those who often have to treat animals say after experiments with different feeds taken by the owners? We are interested in the reviews of veterinarians. Cat food “Night Hunter” has not yet received such wide popularity as “Chappy” or “Pedigree”, but experts are also interested in new products on the market, so they have something to say.
First of all, veterinarians refer to the composition. They emphasize that for the health of a cat, as a carnivore, you need meat and fish. In nature, most often they feed on birds, insects and rodents. Therefore, half-digested grain and grass seeds are obtained from the stomachs of their victims. What do we see in the composition? Chicken flour, which is the result of deep processing of raw materials, results in nothing but protein itself. If this component was supplemented with meat to increase the protein content in the product, then the feed would be very good. But here it is the main source of protein.
The second claim of experts is the content of animal edible fats and soybean oil. This is a cheap and low-quality lipid source for your pets. The amount of carbohydrates is not indicated, but after making mathematical calculations, we can assume that there are about 30% of them. Rice and corn are practically not absorbed by the cat's body, so they serve only as a good way to reduce the cost of the product.
Analysis Summary
In addition to the main ingredients, we see beet pulp and yeast, flax seeds and liver extract. That's the whole composition. Beetroot is a source of fiber, the yeast maintains the coat in excellent condition. Flax seeds are a great source of omega-3s, vitamins, and antioxidants. But judging by the fact that the component is listed at the end of the list, there are very few of its components. Based on this, you can call the food premium nutrition for the fact that it does not contain chemistry and harmful additives. But the fact that this is a high class of feed is just an advertising move that the manufacturer effectively uses to increase sales.
Instead of a conclusion
We can say that this is an acceptable food, if it suits your pet. Most healthy animals tolerate it normally, but if there are problems with internal organs, then consult your doctor. Usually, in this case, food is selected individually, so it is very difficult to offer the best option for everyone at once.
Do not forget that the feed is not polnoratsionny. This is indicated by the manufacturer on his website. Once a week it is recommended to give vitamins and minerals. However, such food will not harm the cat. If you want to find a relatively inexpensive and high-quality food, then you can opt for the "Night Hunter".
