Almo Nature (Almo Nature): food for cats - reviews from veterinarians

Review of Almo Nature cat food

The Almo Nature line of cat food is available in three types: dry, wet food, cat treats in the form of sausages and fillets in broth.

Dry food is suitable for domestic cats whose owners are away during the day and cannot add food to the animal periodically. The dry form helps strengthen teeth and remove tartar.

Canned food and pouches of this brand are higher quality products and are prepared using a unique technology. During the cooking process, raw products are hermetically sealed in pouches and then thermally processed. Due to proper processing, nutrition retains its beneficial properties. Each pouch contains the portion necessary to feed your pet.

The delicacies are prepared from stewed fillet in its own broth. The meat product used to make the feed is of the highest quality. The delicacies are sausages or pieces of meat in broth.

There are 5 main large categories in the Almo Nature line:

Rouge label. The series includes both dry and wet food. Weight of dry food – 400g. The food contains fat and protein, the source of which is turkey or chicken meat. The line has added a source of hydrolyzed protein, which is easily absorbed by the animal’s body and reduces its energy costs. The food does not contain bone meal or by-products. The product contains exclusively natural meat. Sources of carbohydrates are rice and potatoes.

Orange label. The category is presented in dry and canned form. This type of food is intended for castrated or sterilized animals. The food is not very nutritious; it contains meat, bone meal, and offal. The food is not holistic, but is premium nutrition. The product is also suitable for feeding pets prone to obesity. Canned food in this category is considered to be of higher quality, and dry food is much inferior in composition.

Green label. The products of this line are considered the best. The food contains a fairly large percentage of natural meat. The meat used is rabbit, beef, turkey, chicken, salmon, tuna. The presence of carbohydrates is provided by rice and potatoes. The series does not contain artificial ingredients, dyes, or flavor enhancers. The broth found in canned food contains nutrients. The series is intended for feeding cats of all breeds, sterilized and unsterilized adult cats.

Azul Label. This category includes dry food containing offal, bone meal, large amounts of fish, and yeast. To obtain a complete composition, rice and vegetables are added here. The quality of the product is inferior to the quality of the previous categories, the food is not recommended for cats prone to allergies.

Tradition. Canned food from this line of the Almo Nature brand contains a lot of meat products (from 50 to 70%). The flaw of the product is the small amount of vitamins and minerals in the composition.

The Almo Nature brand produces canned food in the Jelly, Classic and Legend series, which are distinguished by a high percentage of meat in the composition (50 - 70%). There are no artificial ingredients, colors or flavors in canned food.

In dry food the percentage of meat is low (15%). Mainly rabbit, tuna, and beef are used to prepare this type of feed. Wet food is available in 70g, 140g jars and 70g pouches.

Dry food is sold in 105g, 400g, 750g, 2kg, 12kg packages. This type of cat food is available in an expanded range. There are foods for kittens, for sterilized or neutered animals, as well as specially developed formulations that help control hair loss.

Characteristics of Almo Nature cat food

Almo Nature products have a wide variety of products, and reviews about them are contradictory. The fact is that the composition differs greatly depending on the food line, although all feeds are presented as high quality products. When translating the composition into Russian, there are often inaccuracies and vague formulations, of which there are many on the Russian-language website https://www.almonature.ru. The original manufacturer's website https://www.almonature.com does not support the Russian language. There is a lot of information about the company's charitable programs and its mission to protect animals around the world, but there is no description of the composition of the diets, which does not inspire confidence in the manufacturer.

Manufacturer

This brand of food is produced by the Italian company Almo Nature, which appeared on the market in Genoa in 2000. It was founded and developed by Pier Giovanni Capellino, an Italian businessman, animal lover, owner of several pets. The name is translated from Italian as “gracious nature”. For the first time in the world, the company began to use high-quality raw materials suitable for human nutrition to produce its feed. This characteristic is indicated by the HFC (Human Food Chain) code on packaging and is widely used as an advertising strategy to promote a product. Note that, judging by the reviews, this strategy works successfully for domestic cat owners: many choose Almo Nature products for their conditional suitability for human food. But we must keep in mind that Almo Nature also has a PFC (Pet Food Chain) code, which marks food suitable only for animals.

Most Almo Nature wet food packaging states that it is made from ingredients suitable for human consumption, as evidenced by the HFC logo

In addition, three-stage quality control in food production, consisting of various analyses, is no different from that in human food factories, right down to assigning a product batch number, by which you can track the history of its production. The company constantly updates its range and produces food from a variety of meat, poultry and seafood to please the most capricious pets.

Judging by the reviews of the owners, picky cats are happy to try new flavors from Almo Nature, choosing their favorite ones

Another feature of Almo Nature production is minimal processing of ingredients during cooking to preserve their high nutritional value. For example, raw meat is placed in pouches and then thermally processed, which allows it to retain the maximum amount of vitamins.

Pier Giovanni Capellino, founder of Almo Nature, has several pets

Almo Nature tests its products on animals only on a voluntary basis: new products are offered to willing cat and dog owners throughout Europe, and they test the diets at home in agreement with the manufacturer, providing him with feedback.

Dry food is produced in Italy, wet food in Italy, Spain, Austria, France, Great Britain, Thailand and Uruguay.

Feed class

It’s not easy to decide on the class of Almo Nature food. The manufacturer itself indicates that most of its products belong to the super premium and holistic classes. Some dry food, for example from the Holistic line, can be classified as super premium, but the majority, due to their unclear composition with a predominance of carbohydrates, barely reaches the premium class.

In European legislation, the term “meat and meat derivatives” is defined as follows: “all parts of the flesh of warm-blooded terrestrial animals, fresh or suitably preserved, and all products and derivatives resulting from the processing of carcasses and parts of carcasses of warm-blooded terrestrial animals.” It is this ingredient that is often listed first in Almo Nature brand foods.

The composition of dry food for sterilized pets is characterized by extremely vague formulations

It’s even more difficult with holistic people. Difficulties arise from the lack of a clear understanding of the concept of “holistic” among food producers and animal owners. If we understand holistic food as complete and biologically consistent with the nature of the cat (that is, it is dominated by high-quality animal proteins), then only Almo Nature Alternative series food fits this definition. The rest of the diets involve a daily combination of dry and wet food in a percentage ratio of 40 to 60. This is also an innovation of the company, which thereby takes care of the health of cats. But the benefits of such a combined diet for the cat’s body have not been experimentally proven.

Pros of food

The advantages of Almo Nature nutrition include the following characteristics:

availability of all types of ready-made food for cats (dry, wet food and treats);
a wide selection of wet food flavors;
the use of raw materials suitable for human nutrition in the production of many feeds;
absence of synthetic dyes, flavors, preservatives;
European certification and careful quality control throughout the entire feed creation process;
the predominance of high-quality animal protein sources in many wet foods and treats;
a large amount of broth in wet food is suitable for replenishing fluids in pets who drink little water;
products can be easily found in stores.

My pets sometimes eat Almo Nature wet food. We periodically buy spiders from the Legend and Classic series. My old cat really loves wet jelly food, so I spoiled her with Classic bags of different flavors. She likes bags of chicken the most, fish (of any kind) least of all, but she still eats them, although not with such enthusiasm. She was in good health and had no digestive disorders. For my big cat with an excellent appetite, the broth-dominant bags (Classic) were “one tooth”, so I chose Legend spiders with 75% meat content for him. The cat really likes it, he literally shakes all over when he eats this food. In the manufacturer's contact group, I read reviews about the presence of bones in some jars of wet food. Thank God, we never came across anything extra in the bags, although I inspected the contents just in case, especially before feeding the old cat. For her, such a production “defect” could be fatal. By the way, cat owners who discovered bones wrote to the manufacturer and received an answer that bones in food are normal. But personally, I'm happy with everything except the price. It's a bit expensive to pamper your pets, so I don't do it that often. I want to try the Alternative series food, they have a very attractive composition, but I haven’t come across them on sale yet.

Cons of food

Ready-made food from Almo Nature also has disadvantages:

too general and vague designations of ingredients or their incorrect translation into Russian;
The percentage of components in the composition is not always indicated;
there is no information about the composition on the official website (www.almonature.com);
high price of products, forcing you to look for a better price-quality ratio from competitors;
the composition of dry and some wet food (with a predominance of plant proteins and carbohydrates) is poor and sometimes harmful to the cat’s body;
the need to combine dry and wet food for the cat to receive a complete set of nutrients, which not all domestic veterinarians approve of.

Storage conditions and periods

When using dry food, you must follow the expiration dates indicated on the packaging.

If your cat does not eat the entire portion of wet food, the leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Unopened wet food can be stored at room temperature (5 to 35 degrees) and normal humidity (up to 75%) until the expiration date. After opening the package, the contents should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 48 hours.

Feeding rates depend on the cat’s weight and are indicated on the packaging and the manufacturer’s website.

Product range

Almo Nature treats for cats

Almo Nature Azul Label sausages are made from chicken or tuna meat (at least 24% meat) and do not contain artificial additives or colors. All ingredients are suitable for human consumption, but this does not mean that owners should enjoy the snacks with their pets. Picky cats can get a new taste experience with Almo Nature sausages.

Almo Nature Azul Label sausages are sold in blocks of 3 pieces and cost approximately 120 rubles

Green Label Mini-Food treats are made from all-natural ingredients suitable for human consumption and are almost entirely meat-based. The manufacturer recommends them as a snack for cats throughout the day or as a reward treat for any success.

Almo Nature Green Label treats consist of 99 percent meat and poultry suitable for human consumption and cost about 43 rubles per package

I bought these treats for my cat and they really look and smell like natural jerky. The cat really likes this, especially since there are two fish flavors in the line (salmon and tuna), and he is a big fan of fish. But he swallows them very quickly, practically without chewing, so I don’t see much point in them. They were just there, and now they are no longer there. I think that these types of snacks are more suitable for picky cats who can chew food for a long time and enjoy its taste. My cat of the Bengal breed (all Bengals are gluttons) is not one of these. I also offered these treats to my second pet, an old cat, but she refused to eat them. This is not surprising, because she is a lover of everything artificial, such as sausage or sausages, but here there is natural meat in the composition.

Medicinal food for cats

Almo Nature does not have medicinal food, there are only preventive ones - for sensitive digestion, to help the urinary system, for removing hairballs and for sterilized animals (Functional Line).

Feed composition

The composition of Almo Nature cat food is quite varied and rich. In each type of food, the composition is presented in different proportions depending on the series.

This brand of food contains:

Animal proteins. Animal proteins are presented in the form of meat, chicken, fish and their derivatives. Mainly dietary and fresh meat is used, which reduces the load on the body as a whole. The meat products from which the food is made are suitable for human consumption and are used boiled in broth.
Bouillon. Helps normalize the body's water balance.
Plant proteins. The component is necessary for the normal digestive process.
Carbohydrates. The source of this substance in the food is rice, which is suitable for feeding cats prone to food allergies.
Oils and fats. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are a valuable component necessary for the full functioning of pets. The source of these components is fish.
Vitamins, minerals. These components make the food balanced and supply the cat’s body with useful elements.

There are no synthetic components in Almo Nature brand food.

What food to choose

The food is selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the pet. The Almo Nature brand of cat food produces a wide range of food in different forms and with a variety of compositions. Cat owners can choose suitable food for sterilized or neutered cats, for furry cats prone to allergies and for kittens. When choosing food, you need to pay attention to the fact that the company’s products are not super premium; some of this company’s food is considered an unbalanced diet and cannot satisfy the daily requirement of nutrients for the cat’s body.

Advantages and disadvantages

Almo Nature confirms that its products have not been tested on animals. Nutrition testing for this brand is carried out on a voluntary basis by cat owners, at home. Reviews are mostly positive, due to which the food remains one of the most frequently purchased among other cat foods.

The advantages of the product include:

the presence of markings for various lines, which can be easily distinguished by color;
a large assortment, giving the opportunity to choose food for cats of different breeds and ages;
balanced composition of most types of feed, the presence of vitamin and mineral components in the diet;
exclusion of chemicals, GMOs, antibiotics and hormones. The composition of all feeds is natural;
compliance with European standards. All products are manufactured using the latest technology to ensure quality control. Microbiological, chemical and physical analyzes carried out by the company are also a guarantee of quality;
availability of food for animals with allergies;
a large percentage of broth in the food, which allows you to maintain water balance and prevent dehydration and the development of constipation in cats;
the ability to establish information about the manufacture of goods using a separate number assigned to each batch.

The disadvantages include:

lack of full composition on the site. A detailed overview of the composition is provided only on the food packaging;
presentation of components under a general term and absence of specific names of the substances used (vitamins, proteins);
a large percentage of vegetable protein, which is difficult to digest by the pet’s digestive tract;
low quality of dry food compared to wet food, lack of food for kittens in this form of product;
incorrect translation into Russian of the text on the packaging. The text does not correspond to the original, which is a serious flaw.

The disadvantage of this product is also the inferior composition of dry food, which the manufacturer proposes to compensate for by combining wet and dry food. This combination is not suitable for all cats as it can cause digestive problems.

Price and where to buy

Almo Nature brand dry food has different prices depending on packaging:

0.4 kg costs about 400 rubles;
2kg -1290 rubles;
12kg – 4920 rubles.

Canned food is sold at a price of 280 rubles per jar of 0.4 kg at retail or 24 pieces at a price of 5,700 rubles.

Food can be purchased online, in online pet stores. Almo Nature cat food can also be purchased at some pet stores without prior ordering.

Almo Nature brand food is a tasty and high-quality food option for domestic cats and kittens. To avoid the occurrence of negative reactions in the form of digestive disorders, it is necessary to use both dry and wet types in the diet.

Reviews of Alma Nature food for cats

Almo Nature is a well-known European brand that produces food for cats and dogs. The company's products are of high quality, guaranteed by the manufacturer and meeting European standards. The brand has an expanded product line.

Many types of food successfully combine meat products with brown or white rice, which is a dietary product and supplies the body with carbohydrates. Feed options that combine meat products with berries and vegetables are also offered. The food does not belong to the super-premium class due to the lack of micro- and macroelements and other necessary components.

When conducting home testing, some animals experience disruptions in the digestion process, which is due to a large percentage of plant cells in the food composition.

Reviews from veterinarians

Relatively recently, Almo Natur products appeared on the cat and dog food market. The food of this brand has a natural composition and guaranteed quality, thanks to the triple control technology introduced by the company. Certain types of food belong to the holistic class, all products correspond to the premium class category. A disadvantage of the product can be considered the lack of animal testing data and feed certification based on this data.

The food of this company contains only fresh and natural meat products, supplemented with rice, vegetables, berries, fruits, as well as vitamins and taurine. The food does not contain animal fats, the source of carbohydrates is a dietary product - rice, the presence of inulin is provided by chicory, fatty acids in the composition are presented in the form of seafood.

Some wet food options contain up to 99% meat, and there are no additional components that enrich the diet. It is recommended to use such feeds not as the main food, since they do not satisfy the needs of the animal’s body.

The quality of wet food, pates and pouches is high compared to dry food. The hair control food series with fish and potatoes has an excellent effect, ideal for long-haired cat breeds.

Brand products – Almo Nature

ALMO NATURE – Super Premium and Holistic class food for dogs and cats!

Founded in 2000 in Genoa, Italy, ALMO NATURE was one of the first to use all-natural products in the production of dog and cat food. This is how the ALMO NATURE product line appeared, among which there are both Holistic and Super Premium class foods. We have selected and introduced the best of them H olistic-shop.ru

ALMO NATURE has a wide range of products, which includes dry food, canned food in jars, pouches and treats. The variety of flavors is also impressive: chicken, lamb, rabbit, veal, white fish, salmon. To meet the carbohydrate needs of animals, the feed includes a highly digestible mixture of grains from rice, barley and oats.

As for the content of meat and fish in ALMO NATURE, in some canned foods it reaches 75%. And recently the company began producing a new line of spiders for cats with a meat or fish content of up to 99.5% (for example, Chicken Breast spiders for cats).

At all stages of production, ALMO NATURE food undergoes strict quality control, which includes a series of physical, chemical and microbiological analyses.

This brand of food does not contain dyes, flavors, preservatives or other artificial additives.

We remain true to our golden rule of selling only healthy food, so at H olistic-shop.ru you will find the best ALMO NATURE products.

The food contains the necessary vitamins and minerals in the right proportions, which are very important for the health of your four-legged friends. The optimal amount of calories in food helps maintain normal weight in dogs and cats, which is especially important for sterilized animals.

Many people note an improvement in the appearance of their pets after switching them to ALMO NATURE: the coat is shiny, the skin is clean, the weight returns to normal. There are practically no complaints about allergies or intolerances.

Often cat owners note that the wet food produced by this company is such a hit with the animals that they don’t even need to wash the bowl after the next meal. We often came across mentions that ALMO NATURE food is well accepted by pets “as a set”: many owners have positive experience of feeding their animals both dry food and canned food of different brands.

ALMO NATURE, like many other Holistics, cannot be found in retail stores. We at H olistic-shop.ru work directly with importers, so we always have this brand of food in stock, you can order it at any time. Since the store’s assortment is constantly updated, the food is always fresh and has a good shelf life.
