What do reviews say about Bosch dog food? Detailed diet analysis


About the manufacturer

Bosch Tiernahrung GmbH & Co in Germany began creating dog food back in 1984 and today has high ratings among European buyers and a leading position in the world market.

The manufacturer claims that all Bosch food lines are suitable for human consumption, not to mention animals, since the ingredients are grown exclusively in Germany, are subject to high-quality processing and strict testing at all stages of production and the final product. The only ingredients that are imported from abroad (usually New Zealand or Austria, Italy) are lamb meat and rice cereal.

Among its advantages, the company has its own laboratory for researching and improving the formulation of Bosch dog food using high technology, as well as for developing new lines and types.

Since 2007, the company has completely switched to its own processing of meat products, which made it possible to establish even greater quality control and, therefore, improve products.

The company has also recently launched the Bosch Soft line of semi-moist food and canned food and Sanabelle cat food.

Let's summarize

We reviewed Bosch dog food. Let's highlight the main aspects:

  • It is produced by a German company. Packing is carried out in Germany.
  • Manufacturers have certificates confirming the high quality of the products from which the food is made.
  • The line is quite rich.
  • Food is produced for large and giant, medium and small breeds of dogs.
  • Only three episodes. The first is suitable for pets with sensitive digestion, the second, based on ingredients such as rice and lamb, is suitable for all breeds, and the third is made from the most natural products.

    What does it contain?

    Since this is a premium food, the search for various preservatives, flavor enhancers and other things will not be successful, which is undoubtedly for the best. All feeds are based on fresh poultry, fish (fish meal) or lamb, but the manufacturer does not indicate which ones. Their content in Bosch dry dog ​​food varies depending on the type of food and ranges from 20% to 39%, which, alas, is not much, since fresh meat loses more than half of its weight during processing.

    The largest part is occupied by cereals, which are available in varying quantities depending on the product variant and act as a source of carbohydrates and nutrients:

    • rice (37%) is an easily digestible, hypoallergenic product;
    • millet (18%) - a large amount of potassium, strengthens the cardiovascular system;
    • corn is a rather useless component designed to reduce the cost of production;
    • barley – carbohydrates, vitamin B.

    Spelled, wheat, wheat flour and bran, and potatoes are also added to the list. Among the useful additives, it is worth highlighting corn gluten, fish oil (as for humans, it provides animals with many useful substances), mussels, carrots, yeast (B vitamins, prebiotics), spinach, flaxseeds (unsaturated fatty acids, fiber), chicory and beet pulp (prebiotic inulin, which helps digest food), potassium chloride and more. You can also find berries in the composition: blueberries and cranberries (positive for the genitourinary system).

    The ratio of nutrients: proteins - 22%, fats - 10%, fiber - 3%, raw ash - 6%, but the company decided not to indicate the carbohydrate percentage, although its amount is higher than it should be.

    A small package weighing 1 kg costs about 700 rubles. 3-kilogram packages can cost 1500-1700 rubles.

    Does Bosch food have advantages over other foods in its class?

    Despite some shortcomings in the composition, the food is superior to other foods in its group.

    • A positive distinguishing feature is that there is dry food for pregnant bitches and during lactation. Bosch Reproduction ensures the correct growth and development of puppies in the womb and increases the feeding period. It is given to the dog after a month of pregnancy and until the end of feeding.
    • The second good difference from analogues is the exclusion of wheat from the recipe, since this grain can cause allergies. Until recently, this cereal was present in the ingredients, but the manufacturer decided to change the composition.
    • Bosch food is much easier to find in supermarkets or on the market, since it is quite popular in Russia when compared with brands of the same class.

    Advantages and disadvantages

    Among the advantages of German products, the following should be highlighted:

    • Using only real meat that has been tested and documented.
    • high popularity of performance products, which are presented in most stores.
    • Each product contains many vitamins and minerals.
    • affordable price for the product.
    • real and organic ingredients, products without additives.

    Among the shortcomings of the product, the following points should be highlighted:

    • some natural meat, unlike other producers.
    • Some products contain a lot of grains.

    Recommendations for feeding your pet

    It is advisable to use food designed specifically for small or large breeds, because they contain different useful components. The recipe for large dogs contains a large amount of calcium for the proper development of joints, bones and their strength.

    If your pet has problems with this brand, it is most likely due to the individual characteristics of the dog. The company is meticulous about quality control and selection of ingredients for the composition. According to reviews from experienced veterinarians, Bosch is well suited for large active animals.

    What conclusions can be drawn?

    Bosch dog food, according to reviews, is positioned as super-premium. In fact, the meat content is too low for this class. Super-premium food must contain at least 40% meat. Moreover, with the obligatory indication of what it is. And this is in addition to hydrolyzed.

    The high content of cereals, in particular corn, is also confusing. This cheap crop is used in economy-class feed. There is no particular value in it.

    Therefore, if it is possible to feed your pet holistic foods, it is better to give preference to them. Bosch doesn't reach the super-premium level.

    Tatyana Pavlovna, veterinarian with 7 years of experience

    I do not believe that Bosch food lines are balanced, because almost all options have too little protein. This food is suitable for dogs who do not like vigorous activity. But for pets who are allergic to gluten, these foods are completely contraindicated. But there are still advantages: even people can eat this food, because only fresh products are used, and the premium class implies the absence of various chemical additives and low-quality by-products.

    Polina, owner of the Dogo Argentino

    The dog is in excellent health and has no problems with either digestion or fur. The allergy did not manifest itself in any way. The Great Dane is quite active and cheerful. Previously they gave him Bosch Junior Maxi for large breed puppies, and then switched to Bosch Edalt with lamb and rice flavor for adult dogs. I definitely recommend this brand.

    Elena, owner of a Basenji dog

    We have three dogs in our family, and one of them suffered a great tragedy: he ate rat poison and began to slowly die. Veterinarians literally pulled me out of the other world, but all this, of course, left unpleasant consequences, such as liver problems and stomach sensitivity. We chose Bosch Mini with lamb and rice cereal. I really liked the light ingredients and the presence of prebiotics for digestion.”

    Composition analysis

    Bosch Tiernahrung products are manufactured in Germany, which can tell the buyer that all technical requirements are met and the quality of the feed is sufficiently high. The class of this product itself implies the absence of dyes and flavor enhancers in its composition, which is also very important. However, a much more important indicator of feed quality is the meat content. This is not surprising: a dog, like any carnivore, needs to consume a sufficient amount of protein to maintain normal functioning of the body.

    From the video “Bosch Production” you will learn a lot of interesting things about this brand.

    From the Bosch composition we see that the percentage of natural meat content fluctuates around 20%. This is not a very high level of substance content in food of this class. For comparison, the same Hills contains up to 35% meat. Many negative reviews of the product are based precisely on this problem. The percentage of protein is also low - about 24%, and the share of proteins is 26%.

    Among the useful additives, flaxseed can be noted, which contains acids that are beneficial for wool. In addition, the food contains a good composition of vitamins necessary to maintain the health of both puppies and adult dogs.

    Cellulose

    The diet does not contain a dedicated source of fibre, but does contain some fruits and vegetables: apples* (dehydrated) (min.1%), pears* (dehydrated), carrots* (dehydrated), tomato paste* (dehydrated).

    Judging by the place in the composition (from the eighth onwards), they are all added to the feed in small quantities. Each of these ingredients contains a certain amount of fiber, but there are no sources of prebiotic fiber that is beneficial for the intestinal microflora in this product.

    Food for neutered cats

    A fairly large number of reviews from both owners and veterinarians relate to keeping cats after castration. A problem such as rapid weight gain after surgery becomes a real threat to the life and health of the pet. The fact is that any operation puts the animal in a stressful state. But castration also produces some hormonal changes in the body. That is why the cat’s diet should be as balanced as possible in order to avoid any unpleasant consequences.

    Many owners noted that it was the transition to Sanabelle food that allowed them to bring their pet to a completely healthy state. And with a daily diet consisting only of vitamins (postoperative recovery of the body) and specialized food, it allowed the pet not to gain excess weight. On the contrary, to achieve a more “athletic” shape.

    Healthy Ingredients

    Yeast (dehydrated, 0.1% mannan-oligosaccharides, 0.06% β-glucans) – Probably Saccharomyces yeast, a dried source of B vitamins and beneficial prebiotics. It’s good that the manufacturer partially indicates the percentage of beneficial components of this yeast. Beta-glucans strengthen the immune system, and mannan-oligosaccharides prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying in the intestines.

    Green-lipped mollusk extract (0.1%) is beneficial for the articular and ligamentous apparatus of large breed dogs. This is a source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) - the building materials of cartilage tissue. However, chondroitin and glucosamine are usually used as substances that support joint health, which we did not find in the diet. Perhaps the manufacturer believes that only green-lipped mollusk extract in such a small quantity is sufficient.

    This food also contains a variety of vitamin and mineral supplements, which are necessary partly due to the lack of minerals and vitamins in the raw materials, partly due to the peculiarities of the technological process for the production of dry food (this is the industry norm, and therefore is not a direct indicator of high or low quality of diet).
