Natyka food types
Nytyka dog food has been produced by a French company for several decades and belongs to super premium nutrition, medical and veterinary diets. In production, only high-quality natural ingredients are used, and the main feature of the feed is its semi-moist state, which improves digestion and stimulates appetite.
The manufacturer also tried to indicate on the packs all the information about the composition in percentage terms. Food is produced in two packaging options: canned food and dry croquettes of 0.6 kg, 4.5 kg and 20 kg.

Composition of Natika feed
The main ingredient in all Natick diets is fresh, high-quality meat - a source of animal protein. The products do not contain corn or wheat, and the percentage of animal protein varies between 70-89%.
Natyka holistic food is produced in France.
Raw meat is grown on European farms without the use of growth hormones and genetically modified grain. Among the abundance of protein products you can find chicken, lamb, rabbit, beef and ocean fish.
Important. To preserve the taste and nutritional value, fresh meat is cooked at a low temperature, but for a longer time. This technology is considered to be as gentle as possible, and thanks to it, ready-made food retains all the beneficial properties of the original raw materials.
The carbohydrate content of Natik food is represented by rice (including steamed and crushed) and potato flakes. Chicken fat and salmon oil are sources of healthy fats. The beet pulp included in the composition normalizes digestion, and prebiotics in the form of fructooligosaccharides support healthy microflora in the intestines.
Also in the food recipe you can find many useful additional components: yucca, brewer's yeast, chicory root, apple pulp, microalgae, garlic, blueberries, lactic acid and much more.
An abundance of vitamins, minerals and trace elements ensures the healthy functioning of the pet. Vitamins A and E have antioxidant properties and increase the body's resistance to infections.
The main ingredient in all Natick diets is fresh, high-quality meat - a source of animal protein.
B vitamins support the activity of the central nervous system and improve metabolism. Potassium prevents the development of cardiovascular diseases, and iron supplies the pet's body with oxygen.

Natyka dog food review
Today we are reviewing Natyka dry dog food, produced in the Czech Republic. In addition to drying, this manufacturer also offers semi-moist food, but among dog lovers they are less popular than dry food. The manufacturer positions its food as holistic, claiming that it uses only high-quality natural ingredients. Is this true by studying the composition?

Composition of Natyka feed
Let's look at the composition of Natyka semi-moist food using the Gold Poulet / Chicken option as an example. In first place are fresh chicken and beef, 35%; on the second - dehydrated chicken meat in an amount of 25%; in third - rice, 22%; fourth place - dehydrated fish meat, 6%. Even if we take into account that in the process of preparing the food, 35% of fresh meat will turn into a much lower figure, there remains another 31% of already dried meat, its part in the finished food will definitely not decrease. Hence the simple conclusion - the food is really based on meat, not grains.
Further in the composition we see ingredients quite typical for dog food, although there are not as many of them as in some holistic products (for example, look at the composition of Orijen food). The food contains only 17% moisture, which is, in fact, only half more than in conventional dry food. By the way, Natyka dry food is approximately the same in composition (in terms of the amount of meat and other ingredients).
By the way, we cannot say whether the food is truly holistic, since the composition simply says “dyes, antioxidants, preservatives.” Whether they are natural or not is not clear.
Pros and cons of Natika food
Among the advantages of the food:
- a large amount of meat in the composition;
- absence of artificial colors, flavors, etc.;
- availability of necessary vitamins and minerals;
- the presence of not only dry, but also semi-moist food;
- relatively low cost (lower than many analogues).
Among the disadvantages:
- It is not very common; in small towns you can only buy it online.
Reviews of Natyka dog food
Yasya: we heard about Natik food quite by chance on the forum, then we talked to the veterinarian, and it turned out that the food was very good. Reviews about Natik dog food on all sites were also good, so we decided to buy it, or rather order it on the Internet. We have been providing food for the third month now, and the impressions are only positive, the price is no less pleasing!
Mark: I really like that the food has a semi-moist structure, because the pet’s appetite has improved, he’s happier, he walks and plays more. Previously they suffered from allergies, but now there is no hint of health problems. And this despite the fact that we do not buy a series of medicinal feeds, but a daily diet.
Kira: So far we have only tried the veterinary line for dogs with allergies and dermatitis. Since our dog is already more than seven years old, his stomach has become worse and rashes have appeared. The veterinarian advised us to change the diet and buy another food. We decided to try Natika, we ordered it online because the store didn’t have the desired flavor. Two weeks passed and the problem was resolved.
Manufacturer
The founder of the Natyka brand is Olivier Schimpf, the owner of a dog kennel, a passionate and dedicated person.

The idea to create food came to him in 1999. At first, food was produced exclusively for dogs, but over time the line expanded and packages of cat food also appeared on sale.

The company carefully selects suppliers and uses renewable energy sources. All necessary certificates are available.

Advantages and disadvantages
- It is stated that the animals whose meat is used were raised without GMOs and growth hormones.
- Natyka cat food is produced using the latest technologies.
- Fish are caught in the oceans, not farmed.
- Contains prebiotic (Prebiotic FOS) - dietary fiber that promotes the growth and reproduction of beneficial microflora, improves digestion and strengthens the immune system.
- A good vitamin and mineral supplement that does not require the purchase of an additional vitamin complex.
- Natyka contains no allergens - wheat, corn and their derivatives.
- Neither antioxidants nor preservatives are specified. The general name does not allow us to evaluate the whole picture and be confident in the safety of the components.
- The phrase “animal proteins” on the packaging makes you wonder: what components are their sources?
- The combination of “dried poultry” and “hydrolyzed poultry liver” is a kind of marketing ploy, since these are different components, and they are served as pure meat.
- Judging by the label, the proportion of rice is no less (and maybe more) than meat components.
- Feed is expensive.
