About the manufacturer

Caesar dog food is a diet from Mars Corporation, whose headquarters are located in the USA. The company owns several well-known brands under which ready-made dog food is produced. In addition, she is also engaged in the production of human food. It’s interesting, but the official website does not have accurate information about the countries in which the factories for the production of spiders and Caesar canned food are located. Russia or Australia is indicated on the food packages themselves.

The Petcare Mars line includes brands:

• Pedigree;
• Royal Canin;
• Eukanuba;
• Perfect fit;
• Chappy;
• Naturals Table.

Composition of Caesar feed

Let's look at the composition of a small bag called a pouch. They are most often found on store shelves in our country. For example, let's take a ready-made Caesar diet (beef and vegetables). Contains:

• meat - beef and offal (40%). The beef content should be more than half;
• vegetables - 4%;
• cereals - no percentage indicated;
• mineral and vitamin complex.

Note that the food contains almost 80 grams of moisture (per 100 grams). This means that the dog will not feel thirsty and there will be no problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Caesar food recipes are not very diverse; only the meat component changes.

Advantages and disadvantages

Thanks to special food, your pet will always be cheerful and active, and its stomach will work correctly. The finished spider is convenient to take with you on the road or for a walk. One pack is enough for a hearty lunch for a small dog. Many people buy spiders for puppies. The food has a soft consistency and is hermetically sealed. The bag easily fits even in a small women's handbag. On average, 3-4 packs of ready-made food are enough for a small dog per day.

The main advantages of canned Caesar:

• high energy and nutritional value;
• efficiency;
• ready to eat;
• natural composition;
• wide selection of flavors;
• convenient packaging.

The only drawback (according to buyers) of Caesar dog food in bags is the high price. It is due to the natural ingredients in the product. Canned Caesar with vegetables are considered especially popular in the autumn-winter period. A properly selected recipe allows you to maintain the vitality of animals even in the off-season.

Dog food - reviews

You can make an independent assessment of Caesar food only in one case - give it to your pet to try. To see if the food is right for your dog, check out people's reviews.

Veterinarians

Some veterinarians believe that fortified supplements should not be included in food. Other experts say that this is a plus and that canned food is full of useful substances.

According to doctors, the ideally calculated energy value and calories are in favor of this diet. Veterinarians positively characterize the food of this brand and recommend it in the diet of pets.

Dog breeders

Dog owners have differing opinions regarding Caesar food. The reviews are mostly positive. For small pets this is an ideal food in consistency and composition. Thanks to portioned packs and small pieces of meat, the animal can have a full meal at one time. Having eaten 1 pouch of ready-made food, the pet will not ask for more: it will be satisfied. Among the shortcomings of this manufacturer's nutrition, some dog owners note that the company does not distinguish between breeds.

In general, reviews of Caesar food are positive, highlighting:

• convenient packs and jars that are easy to open;
• middle price segment;
• well-calculated portions so that the dog does not overeat and is active;
• balanced composition.

Many dog ​​breeders note that their pets do not get used to this diet. Animals always eat canned food with pleasure, both in its pure form and as a supplement. They also note that after this food the animals have good hair, a healthy appearance and are always in high spirits.

Pros and cons of Caesar dog food

Why Caesar food is better than others

Let's compare the food with other popular wet diets.

Pedigree for adult dogs of all breeds (beef in sauce)

In the composition of the Pedigree pouch, the meat component comes first, represented by offal and beef. But the share of beef is only 4%. The total amount of meat is not indicated, but the amount of protein is 6 grams, while Caesar’s figures are 40% and 9 grams. Undoubtedly, Caesar diets are more nutritious and natural.

Chappie for adult dogs (meat abundance)

Chappie food belongs to the economy class, and therefore there is little meat in the composition (from 3 to 5%), the rest is by-products. Without indicating their origin. Most likely this is production waste. In addition, the food contains no vegetables at all; cereals come in second place.

Monge for dogs (turkey with blueberries)

The rich composition of Monje food will undoubtedly appeal to your pet. It is superior to Caesar food in terms of meat content (80%), does not contain by-products, includes blueberries and does not contain grains. But it is difficult to create a dog’s diet based on it: the cost of the product is too high, canned versions of Monge food are not very common not only in stores, but are also not available for online ordering.

Caesar food line

It cannot be said that there are a large number of products in the food line. We can say that small dogs should be the main consumer of canned food. Most often, the products are packaged in 100 g bags. For basic nutrition, this packaging is suitable only for mini and medium breeds. Mars products are intended for dogs weighing less than 5 kg. For larger dogs, spiders and jars can be used as additional treats.

The manufacturer has not provided any special diets for puppies or older animals. All spiders and canned food are intended for adult dogs of small breeds. The diet is designed in such a way that small pets do not suffer from obesity, so the owner must strictly adhere to the dosage of food that the manufacturer suggests on the packaging.

The only difference between the foods is the taste. Caesar product names can easily compete with gourmet restaurant dishes.

Available in 4 food flavors (juicy meat pieces):

Beef (veal) and vegetables

Lamb meat with vegetables

Chicken meat and green vegetables

Mix of rabbit and beef with spinach

Caesar pates are available in aluminum square packages (5 flavors in total):

Lamb fricassee (vegetables and rosemary)

Beef Stroganoff (cheese and dill)

Chicken meat with dried apricots

Beef pate in vegetable sauce

Chicken fillet (pumpkin and spinach)

Conclusions about this food

There are both positive and negative reviews about Caesar dog food. The composition looks relatively good, so you can give Cesar pouches and canned food to your pets from time to time as a supplement to the diet (treats). But we recommend choosing the main, dry food more pickily.

Price of Cesar feed

• Pouches for dogs Caesar 100 g (in bags) - about 35 rubles;
• Canned dog food Caesar 100 g - about 75 rubles.

The prices indicated are indicative, current for the summer of 2022 and may change significantly over time. See online pet stores for the exact price.

Owner reviews

Marina K. I have a big dog - almost 25 kg. While she was little, we treated her with bags of Caesar food. Now she would be happy to eat it, but it turns out to be too expensive. According to the norm, our dog needs about 15 sachets per day. Use it as a simple treat. Our Lyma is on a natural diet, according to the rule introduced by the veterinarian - we give a treat in the form of a pouch or pate 8 hours after a full lunch.

Irina S. I have a West Highland white terrier - Bonnie. Exactly the breed shown on the package. The little one was fed with special food, now I buy Caesar. We switched to pates after an allergy to Perfect Fit. In addition, while drying, the dog drank a lot, and his kidneys suffered.

Briefly about the main thing

1. Cesar is a product of the American food corporation Mars, part of the Petcare sector.
2. The line of diets includes only wet versions of the product - pouches (meat pieces) and pates.
3. The composition of dog food is natural, the percentage of meat and offal is 40%.
4. The manufacturer does not detail the ingredients.
5. Reviews about Caesar are contradictory: veterinarians note the obvious presence of flavorings and an unclear composition, owners are guided by the tastes of their pets.
6. The product line is quite meager, represented by 4 types of spiders and 5 types of pates.
7. There is no division by age, breed, no treatment options.

In general, Caesar food can be recommended for feeding small breed dogs. Due to the high cost of the daily norm, the diet can be recommended as a treat.

Feeding recommendations

When introducing dry and wet industrial compounds into your diet, you must follow a set of simple rules. The right balance of different types of foods will help maintain a good appetite and good health for your pet for many years.

Hills d/d food for small breed dogs

Veterinarians and experienced dog handlers strongly recommend feeding their pets uniformly, but at the same time balanced. It is impossible to mix dry food with natural food in the same bowl at the same time, since against this background there is a high probability of developing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, since it takes different times to digest.

Important! If natural products are still present in the animal’s diet, then the interval between taking industrial compounds and natural products should be at least 8 hours.

Basic nutritional recommendations:

• wet food + dry food are acceptable in a ratio of 25% to 75%, respectively;
• You cannot feed your dog only industrial canned food unless there is an urgent need for it;
• if the dog happily eats both dry and wet industrial compositions, then they can be alternated;
• wet food + homemade food are acceptable in a ratio of 25% to 75%, respectively;
• the gourmet industrial composition should make up no more than 10% of the daily diet, since it contains a high concentration of saturated fats;
• If the dog eats only canned food, then in order to avoid the development of dental problems, the pet needs to additionally purchase a mineralized or delicacy bone.

Among veterinarians, one can increasingly hear recommendations that when natural feeding with a certain frequency, it is still recommended to give the animal high-quality dry food instead of vitamins to compensate for the deficiency of minerals, macro- and microelements. Caesar food is undoubtedly suitable for these purposes.

Composition of industrial wet food Caesar for dogs

Note! Of course, there are cheaper analogues of industrial compounds, but feeding them on an ongoing basis can cause serious damage to the health of your beloved pet.

Do I need to soak dry food?

Soaking dry food is not a mandatory procedure; the main thing is that the animal has access to clean drinking water around the clock.

It is necessary to soak the food only in those conditions when the dog has diseases or injuries in the oral cavity; it is simply painful for him to eat solid food. Another significant reason is developmental pathologies or diseases of the digestive system.

Important! It is impossible to store soaked feed for a long time; they not only quickly lose their beneficial properties, but also disappear. You can store leftover food in the refrigerator for no longer than 2-3 hours.
