What does Gemon dog food contain?

Common ingredients contained in prepared dog food and its composition:

The products listed above are the main and basic ones, which make up more than half of the diet. The remaining ingredients are various additives, vitamins and minerals that have little effect on the properties of the finished food.

• Brewer's yeast. They have a beneficial effect on hair growth, help restore the coat after pregnancy and during lactation, reduce allergic reactions and facilitate molting.
• Beet pulp. A source of fiber, it helps the stomach digest food.
• Yucca Schidigera. Improves the functioning of the digestive tract and practically removes the odor from excrement.
• Vitamin B. Supports liver function, good for skin and coat.

Percentage of nutrients in 100 grams of Gemon dog food:

1. Proteins – 25%, of which 5% are chicken, fish and fish waste. The content is quite small, despite the fact that during processing the meat loses weight and remains no more than 1.3-2.5 grams. Fish is healthy and is the main source of proteins, but it is only useful in its pure form. It is hardly worth relying on the integrity of the manufacturer; most likely, the fish ended up in the food along with scales and giblets.
2. Fats - 14%, base - a vague formulation that can contain anything from sunflower oil to lamb fat.
3. Carbohydrates – the content is unknown, but the grains listed in the ingredients indicate their obvious presence. In fact, cereals are of little use to pets, so their presence in Gemon dry food only serves to reduce the cost.
4. Fiber – 2.5%. Contained in beet pulp.
5. Calcium – 1.5%. Very important for active four-legged friends, found in meat and offal.
6. Phosphorus – 1.3%. The source is fish and fish trimmings.

Feeding recommendations

1. To give dry food to puppies or older dogs, dilute with water and leave for about 2-3 minutes.
2. The food is perfect for pregnant bitches and during lactation.
3. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not yet developed a hypoallergenic food line, so you should not start feeding the animal if you are not sure of its health.
4. An animal that eats dry food daily should always have clean, cool water available.
5. Wet food should be fed warm or at room temperature.
6. Since Djimon’s diet is high in carbohydrates, the animal often asks for more than the norm because it does not feel full. It is important to alternate dry, wet food and canned food, although each of them is considered a complete diet.
7. The Djimon lines are light and low-protein, so they should only be given to a dog that does not have health problems.
8. It is also possible that feeding protein products will be useful for the normal growth, development and well-being of your pet.

Below is a table of daily intake of Gemon food for dogs:

The feeding rate is individual for each dog, so it is important to adhere to this table. The manufacturer carefully selects the composition and volume of food.

Reviews

Veterinarian, surgeon and ophthalmologist Elena Zhukova

I recommend the ready-made Gemon diet only if it is not possible to switch to higher-level feed. The only advantages are their quality-appropriate price and the attitude of Italian production to more thorough testing.

I believe that Djimon ready-made food is not suitable for long-term use, since both wet and dry food contain a large amount of grains. They do not bring the animal a feeling of satiety, so at the first opportunity it is better to switch to higher quality food with a high content of protein nutrients.

The manufacturer does not indicate the percentage of meat and meat by-products, or fish. Although there is a rather meager amount of them in the composition, it is not even clear in what form the fish ends up in the feed.

According to reviews from experienced veterinarians who have worked with Gemon, you can’t expect anything supernatural from this premium brand. It will be more beneficial for your pet to switch to a different, higher quality ready-made diet.
