Advantages and disadvantages

Savara cat food:
- contains fresh dietary meat, which makes up a significant percentage of the product and is its main component;

The disadvantages include the difficulty of purchasing food, since it is impossible to buy the product on open sale. Savara is a cat food with a fairly high price, which is justified by its natural composition and the fact that the product is classified as holistic. Experts note another drawback of this brand - the lack of a line of medicinal nature.

You will never see artificial flavor enhancers or colors in Savarra, and there are no GMOs. But Savara dog food, whose composition is completely natural, also includes antioxidants.

Ask a Question
To avoid allergies in animals, Savarra excluded chicken meal and chicken fat from his feed.
This food will meet the needs of dogs on a strict diet, susceptible to allergies or with weak digestion.
Squirrels
The main source of protein is meat. Next come salmon, peas, dehydrated eggs, oats.
Carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates, which supply the body with the energy necessary for the proper growth and development of dogs, are rice, peas and oats. Peas also provide fiber to the body.
Fats
Turkey, lamb, salmon, and flax seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. These acids have a beneficial effect on the coat, helping it acquire a healthy shine, as well as on vision, skin condition and heart.
Additional components
Parsley contains a lot of useful substances: phosphorus, selenium, potassium, vitamins B and C, various micro- and macroelements that benefit the body. The immune system is strengthened and metabolism is regulated.
Chamomile, chicory, blueberries and cranberries are all endless sources of vitamins. Whole tomatoes, spinach, green mussels remove waste and toxins from the body. These are antioxidants that have a positive effect on the dog’s ligaments and joints, maintain normal vision and mucous membranes, and prevent the development of inflammatory processes in the animal’s genitourinary system.
Meat components
Ingredient #1 - Freshly Prepared Duck, Ingredient #2 - Dehydrated Duck. The characteristics of both of these ingredients in Savarra Adult Dog food are excellent - they are valuable sources of animal protein and fat. However, this did not prevent the word “meat” from being added to them in Russian names, probably to give the composition greater value.
In addition to these two duck derivatives, the composition also contains other sources of animal protein: dehydrated salmon (Dried Salmon, translated into Russian also with the addition of the word “meat”) and dehydrated egg.
If we talk about sources of fat, then there is quite high-quality animal fat (turkey fat), as well as flax seeds (a source of fatty acids of plant origin).
Savarra feed range
The stores offer 5 lines for all types of dogs:
- puppies;
- large breed puppies;
- adults of large breeds;
- adults of small breeds;
- elderly dogs for the prevention of obesity.
Thus, the granules included in the food for especially large dogs are much larger in size compared to the granules included in the food for all other breeds. This is done to make it easier for large animals to chew due to the anatomical structure of the jaw. The line for large breed dogs also includes the following additives:
- seaweed;
- green mussel extract.
Thanks to these ingredients, which are saturated with various minerals, dogs’ fur acquires a brighter color, and joints and ligaments that bear increased stress due to the animal’s heavy weight also receive significant benefits.

Ask a Question
The body receives the necessary microelements thanks to supplements such as chondroitin and glucosamine.
These elements contribute to the normal growth and functioning of cartilage and bone tissue. They help avoid problems common to large dogs. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are also included in the feed. Excessive gas formation in the stomach is reduced, and putrefactive processes in the intestines stop developing. The stool returns to normal, the microflora returns to normal and dysbacteriosis does not appear.
The stomach of small dogs is much smaller than that of large dogs, and therefore they are unable to eat a lot of food at once. But small pets expend much more energy. Therefore, food for small breeds must correspond to their characteristics and contain more calories and be more energy-intensive. To replenish energy costs, the diet must contain fats and Omega-3 fatty acids. Information about them is on the label.
Sometimes owners of small dogs have a negative attitude towards the inclusion of grains in food. But decorative breeds need to receive carbohydrates in order to avoid glycemia. But grains are not digested at such a fast pace. Slow digestion counteracts sugar spikes in dogs. The animal’s health is also positively influenced by the presence of vitamins, antioxidants and fruits in the food.
Compared to large dogs, small ones are considered long-lived. And therefore, proper feeding can ensure good health in later life. You need to pay a lot of attention to organizing your little pet’s nutrition. It is advisable to choose healthy and balanced food that meets the requirements of the breed and does not cause allergies.
Useful additives in food "Savarra" with duck
This diet also contains several additions of fruits, vegetables and herbs: tomatoes, chicory, apple, carrots, chamomile and parsley. These are natural sources of fiber, which is beneficial for digestion. The product does not contain any isolated sources of fiber.
Interestingly, although Savarra Small Breed food is intended for adult small breed dogs, the review found that it contained glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate - standard chondroprotective additives that are more often found in diets for large animals.
There is also a rarer component - “green mussels”, or, as they are more correctly called, green-lipped mussels - they are also good for joint health.
The vitamin and mineral composition in this diet is quite standard, but it’s good that the manufacturer has deciphered its composition in detail - we present this data after the main list of ingredients so that you can familiarize yourself with them.
As for antioxidants, the list of ingredients states vitamin E (a mixture of tocopherols) and rosemary extract - quite worthy natural preservatives for the diet.
