>> Brit Premium food is now produced in Russia: has it gotten worse?

Composition of Brit Premium by Nature food

Old composition (until 2022)
Let's look at the composition of the Brit Premium food using the Adult M option as an example (for adult dogs of medium breeds). You can see it in the photo below (for ease of reading, click on the image to enlarge it):

Above is a photo of the composition from the packaging, below is data from the official website.

In first place is chicken (41%), a source of protein. Note that the translation into Russian indicates “chicken meat flour,” but in English it simply says “chicken.” Such an ingredient may include other parts of the bird, not just meat.

There are no other sources of protein in the feed. Corn, wheat and rice, which are sources of carbohydrates, contain only a little protein. Thus, the bulk of the 25% of proteins indicated in the analysis are of animal origin.

Chicken fat and salmon oil are sources of fatty acids. It is specified that chicken fat is preserved with tocopherols (natural preservative, vitamin E).

Brewer's yeast - contains B-group vitamins. Natural flavors - it is not specified which ones. Dried apples are a source of fiber. Minerals - food supplement of minerals.

Extract from herbs and fruits - it is not clear which ones, it is not known what the benefits are. Manano-ologosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides are beneficial for digestion. Yucca schidigera extract - reduces fecal odor. Organic copper, organic zinc, organic selenium are useful nutritional supplements.

At the end of 2022, the manufacturer rebranded and added by Nature to the name of the food. Below you can see an example of the composition, using the example of the option “Brit Premium by Nature, Chicken, Junior, Small” (with chicken, for young dogs of small breeds):

Photo of the composition indicated on the package.

The rebranding affected the appearance of the packaging more than the composition of the food. One can only note a slightly increased percentage of meat ingredients, as well as the appearance of the ingredients “crustacean shells”, “cartilage” and “green mussels”, which serve as sources of glucosamine and chondroitin. These substances are very beneficial for joints.

Collagen (useful for ligaments, tendons and joints) and blueberries also appeared in the composition. In addition, it has now been clarified which herbs are included in the “herbs and fruits” ingredient (previously there was an “herbal extract” ingredient without specification).

Ascorbyl palmitate has appeared among the antioxidants, it is considered completely safe and is approved for use in food products (in Russia, the EU, the USA and other countries).

Advantages and disadvantages

Benefits of the food:

• the main source of protein is meat ingredients;
• a natural preservative is used;
• good vitamin and mineral supplement;
• wide range, there is dry food, canned food;
• relatively low price.

Disadvantages of Brit Premium food:

• ingredients such as “chicken” are used (such general formulations may hide by-products), rather than “chicken meat”;
• wheat and corn are used (typical for premium).

Advantages and disadvantages

• The BRIT Premium line of food is affordable.
• The assortment is pleasing to the eye: you can choose a formula for cats of different ages, both older and younger.
• There is not only dry food, but also wet food.
• Natural ingredients are used (rosemary, mixture of tocopherols).
• A lot of canned meat: up to 82% (and there are many types of meat).
• Food is sold not only in pet stores, but also in many universal hypermarkets operating in the Russian Federation.

• The sauce used is unknown.
• Some formulas contain corn, a filler that is only beneficial for humans. For cats, it is simply harmful: due to its low amino acid composition, it causes allergies, and due to excess carbohydrates, it causes obesity.
• The phrase “meat meal” may hide processed parts of the carcass that do not provide any practical benefit to animals. For example, feathers, beaks, parts of limbs. In holistic feeds, judging by the high price, sirloin parts are used, but in relatively inexpensive feeds this is hardly possible.
• In wet versions, the indication of offal - unspecified, not listed point by point - raises questions.
• Brewer's yeast added to some formulas may cause an allergic reaction.
• Added dyes and flavors to canned food.
