2 reviews and comments

Trainer is not the most common dog food in our country, most likely due to the manufacturer’s lack of interest in the Russian market. In EU countries its popularity is wider, but in our country it is growing year by year.

Regular pet stores rarely sell Trainer due to insufficient demand. Dog owners who want to feed their pets have to make purchases online.

Affordable price, unconditional super-premium composition and quality, recommendations from specialists, and a wide range of products are highly appreciated by customers.

Dog food manufacturer Trainer

The country of origin of Trainer brand feed is Italy. Nova Foods, a company specializing in the production of balanced products for pets, began its activities in the 60s of the last century. And Trainer food began to be produced in 1991. Company employees – veterinarians – took part in the creation of the unique line.

Dog food "Trainer"

Trainer food belongs to the elite super premium class. Their main feature is the presence of natural meat (at least 40%). The presence of soy is unacceptable - veterinary specialists have proven that it is not absorbed by the pet’s digestive system. The class allows the presence of a certain amount of high-quality by-products, and they must be clearly indicated on the packaging (for example, heart, liver).

The inclusion of flavors, artificial preservatives and flavor enhancers in food is unacceptable. Super premium products are used by professional breeders to feed puppies and adult animals. The price is quite high, but you shouldn’t skimp on your pet’s health.

Note! The Italian manufacturer offers food not only for dogs, but also for cats.

The product is developing, becoming more useful and balanced from year to year. But one thing remains the same - the basis of the composition is boneless poultry meat. The company opposes testing of products on animals and calls on owners to treat their pets with respect.

Dry dog ​​food

general description

Trainer brand food is a high quality product that has been produced since the early 1990s. A distinctive feature of this product is the high percentage of boneless fresh meat. Manufacturers do not use beef or chicken in the production of their products, since these two meat varieties are considered the most allergenic.

It is worth noting that the range also includes vegetarian food that provides the dog with all the necessary substances for full growth and development. This type of nutrition is used when there is a need to take an alternative protein. The decision to switch to this food option is made by the pet’s trainer or his treating veterinarian.

Advantages and disadvantages of Trainer feeds

The dog is having lunch

However, like any other food, Trainer is not without some disadvantages. The owner should also know about them before purchasing:

• At the moment, Nova Foods products are new to the Russian market. Therefore, it is difficult to find food in pet stores and even on online sites.
• High price.
• Insufficient protein and fiber content.
• Corn in the composition can be a strong allergen.
• Significant content of carbohydrates and fats.
• The manufacturer does not indicate the calorie content of the product.

Trainer feed composition

Pedigree: food for dogs and puppies of small and large breeds

The main component of the product from the Italian manufacturer is poultry meat - chicken and turkey, rich in protein. In addition, the following components are added:

• pea fiber and processed sugar beets enrich the composition with coarse fibers that normalize digestion;
• flax seed, yeast are good for the gastrointestinal tract;
• The Fitness Trainer 3 dog food line contains rabbit, beef, duck, and lamb.

Note! In the composition you can find “animal fats” that are not deciphered in any way. This component causes certain concerns among breeders and owners, since the source of these fats is unclear.

Dehydrated fish and animal protein are also considered questionable. It is unknown what kind of fish is included in the composition, what the source of protein is.

Among the useful additives, the product contains spirulina algae, extracts of apples, citrus fruits, and collagen. The feed contains vitamins (A, E, D), as well as minerals (selenium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese).
