One of the foods of the German company of the same name Josera (or in Russian Yozera) in dry form is intended for cats (there is also an option for dogs).
It is not yet very widespread, but it is famous for its wide range; the official website will help you get acquainted with it - www.josera.ru (in Russian) and www.josera.de - in the manufacturer’s language. Here we will analyze the composition of Josera and see reviews from the owners who bought it.
The best food belongs to the holistic class, from Joser - this is a Bavarian food, very popular in Europe among cat owners and has proven itself since 2013.
Types of food Josera
Josera dog food has been produced in Germany for several years; there are series for adult dogs, puppies, taking into account the breed (for small and large) and the characteristics of the pet. The main features of nutrition are the use of fresh products, the presence of international quality certificates and the constant modernization of nutrition in the company’s own laboratories.
Josera food is subject to special processing, so the maximum beneficial properties are preserved.
All diets are divided into separate diets:
- universal;
- for small and large breeds;
- for sensitive digestion;
- for active pets;
- for the prevention of a number of diseases;
- for older dogs.
Food is sold in the form of dry croquettes of 1.5 and 15 kg.
Main components:
- dietary meat;
- meat flour;
- dried liver;
- rice;
- potato;
- gluten;
- chicken fat;
- beet pulp;
- beer shakes;
- prebiotics;
- minerals;
- medicinal herbs, extracts.
The manufacturer does not use soy or wheat in feed, as it causes indigestion, constipation and allergies, and does not provide nutritional value. Also, there are no flavorings or flavor enhancers in the food.
Sooner or later, we all think about healthy eating. Unfortunately, we often remember this when we are faced with any illness or deterioration in well-being and when it is not so easy to change something simply by changing our lifestyle. Now ask yourself: “How is my pet different from me?” Indeed, as soon as you bring a furry friend into your home, you should think about what you will feed him, in what conditions he will live, what he needs for proper development and growth. To avoid problems in the future, you need to take into account your pet's basic needs from the very beginning, one of which is nutrition. It is very important to choose the food that best suits your pet. Nowadays, you can increasingly hear beautiful newfangled words that serve exclusively marketing purposes, for example – Holistic. However, you should not succumb to the general misconception and believe that animal feed only with this mark is the most healthy and natural. Every term borrowed from another language contains some ambiguity that not every manufacturer or supplier will explain to customers. In addition, when choosing dry food for your cat or dog, you must understand that, despite the manufacturer’s assurances, in the production of any dry food, not raw, but dried meat is used. This is due to the technological process. Thus, we advise you to carefully consider the issue of selecting food and give preference to a manufacturer whose philosophy is not based on the thirst for profit and, as a result, on a poor quality choice of ingredients, but one that, first of all, cares about proper development and balanced nutrition and healthy life for pets.

Composition analysis
We analyze the composition using the example of food for kittens - Minette.
Composition of Josera feed
This is information from the official website. The manufacturer does not disclose the recipe, but only lists the components. In the first position is poultry flour. The most affordable meat product in terms of prevalence and cost. The origin of the raw materials is unclear. What is this? Food waste or sanitary slaughter? Second place is chicken fat. The manufacturer included starchy cereals - corn and rice. Cracklings are a by-product of rendering animal fat. Contains connective tissue proteins of low quality. These are the proteins that a growing body needs.
Beet pulp, or dry pulp, is a traditional component of cat food. Contains dietary fiber, has hygroscopic properties, and absorbs excess moisture. Salmon fishmeal is located after beets, which means there is very little of it in the feed. Corn gluten contains plant proteins of average quality. But its inclusion percentage in the feed mixture is low.
Hydrolyzed proteins are made from processed by-products as a natural flavoring agent. Poultry liver gives the food a flavor that is attractive to cats.
Potassium chloride is essential for maintaining electrolyte balance. The addition of monosodium phosphate eliminates phosphorus and sodium deficiency. The food is stabilized with natural antioxidants – tocopherol extracts. The origin of the product is not specified.
The not entirely attractive composition of the components was corrected by adding vitamins and microelements. The use of chelated (organometallic) salts allows you not to overload the diet with minerals. The feed mixture contains proteins, fats, fiber in the amount of 35; 22; 2%. In terms of the concentration of nutrients and composition of components, Djoser Minette’s dry food corresponds to the super premium class.
What to buy for your pet?
Despite the variety of series and flavor options, the main lines are for adult dogs and puppies. At the same time, the manufacturer took into account the pet’s needs, health status and size.
For puppies
Several options have been developed for a growing dog:
- Josera Family – from eight weeks of life, also suitable for a lactating bitch or a pregnant woman. The main components are dietary meat and vegetables;
- Josera Kids – for large breeds, a nutritious diet with minerals and vitamins, can be given from the second month of life;
- Josera Premium Junior - for large breed puppies, the diet contains a lot of fiber and protein, it is a high-protein diet;
- MinisBest – for puppies of small breeds up to 10 kg, consists of dietary meat and rice, small granules are created for ease of chewing;
- Sensi Junior – for puppies of different breeds, with sensitive digestion, for hunting breeds and for very active pets.
All puppy food options are easy to digest, do not cause allergies and consist of plant protein, which is easier to digest.

Reviews of Josera dog food
Zhenya: We had never heard of such a diet before until the vet advised it, but now we don’t know how to buy something else. Despite the high quality and naturalness of the products, the price of the food is quite low, although it is difficult to find. I also like that there are many lines and flavor solutions.
Linda: We are currently buying a series for puppies with sensitive digestion, since we have a Yorkie. Yes, you can hardly find it in stores, but you can order it on the Internet without any problems. We learned about the food from reviews on the Internet, decided to try it and did not regret it. The dog is growing up very active and inquisitive.
Irina: It seems to me that any Josera nutrition series is high-quality and healthy, even a daily diet. Some people claim that it contains corn, but there is not much of it and it does provide some vitamins. But soy, wheat and chemicals are completely absent. If there are European quality certificates, then there is nothing to worry about.

Josera dog food review
In the list of super premium food we only mentioned the Josera brand, now it’s time to take a closer look at the products of this company. The food “Josera” (also called Yosera, Josera) is produced in Germany, the official website is www.josera-dog.com.
Note that there is a line of premium Josera food (Junior, Regular, Active, Sensitive), but it is in the minority, so today we will review super-premium food from this brand.

Composition of Josera dog food
Let's look at the composition using the example of Josera SensiPlus food. In first place is poultry flour, it is specified that 15% duck and 12.8% turkey are used. In total, we have 27.8% of a good source of proteins, and even more, because a little further down the composition there is also “poultry protein hydrolysate”.
The source of carbohydrates in the feed is rice, corn and corn flour. Beet pulp is a source of fiber, poultry fat is a source of fatty acids, salt is a source of minerals, as is potassium chloride. Chicory extract is rich in vitamins A, E, B1, B2, B3, C, PP. The antioxidant used is natural - tocopherols (essentially vitamin E).
By the way, if you have heard that corn has no place in dog food, it is actually a very healthy ingredient (a source of carbohydrates, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, and much more). The main thing is that corn should not be the basis of the feed, but only an addition in small quantities.
Pros and cons of Djoser food
Among the advantages of this brand of food:
- real meat in sufficient quantity;
- the presence of all the vitamins and minerals the dog needs;
