Reviews

All current reviews of Advance cat food are generally positive: “I wasn’t there, I wasn’t a member, I didn’t participate...”.

Baby ka Boo : “I feed my Persian cat Lyasechka exclusively with Advance Cat Long Hair food. She is already 4 years old and all this time she eats only this. Only at first I bought food for kittens, I don’t remember the exact name, but also Advance. I am a responsible housewife and constantly take Lyasechka to the veterinarian. According to him, my baby has absolutely no health problems. Therefore, I will continue to feed her with the same food, especially since she eats it with pleasure. I don’t understand owners who feed their cats who knows what. This is terrible! Lyasechka has a good appetite and during the day she can eat about 110 grams of food. Thus, a bag of food that has a volume of 15 kg takes us about 5-6 months, and per day it turns out that my beloved baby eats for 30 rubles, that is, very inexpensive! And this despite the fact that she eats high-quality food, and not junk from Auchan"

Valeria Gosserman : “Our cat is a big eater, and he eats this food with great pleasure. At the same time, he has no problems with his teeth, there is no unpleasant odor from his mouth, and there was nothing unusual with his stool. We have been feeding it for two years now, during which time our sloth has become even more plump, and his fur is simply shiny. I won't buy any other food. Does it make sense if this one fits? And for the price it doesn’t ruin me) All the best)”

Kirill : “I have a purebred Maine Coon. Still a picky guy. I spent a long time selecting food until His Highness agreed to Advance. This is my salvation. But the price is a little off. But I didn’t buy a Maine Coon so expensively just to feed him some wretched whiskey, well, you know what I mean?))”

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Advance food include:

the presence in it only of natural ingredients, which are balanced in such a way that the cat is healthy and all systems of its body function without failures;
it is suitable for feeding cats of all breeds and ages;
attractive price, which is the most favorable in its class;
it is appreciated by owners of cats and cats;
high quality.

The food also has disadvantages, but they are so insignificant that they are unlikely to have any influence on the decision to purchase it:

some people believe that the price of food is too high, but this opinion is wrong, because the quality level of the food is high, and, therefore, its cost is justified;
You won’t be able to buy food at any pet store; you can do it online.

You can, perhaps, buy Advance food in a regular pet store, but you will most likely have to spend a lot of time searching for it. But since most modern people do not have a lot of free time, it will be easier to find the right cat food in the online store and place an order.

Advance cat food reviews

Despite the fact that Advance cat food has been sold in Russia for many years, there are not many reviews on the Internet about the experience of feeding pets with it.

Reviews from veterinarians

Konstantin Petrovich (veterinarian)

Advance cat food has a very wide range. I was especially surprised by the variety of food for sterilized animals. After studying their composition and finding a large amount of protein and little fat in it, it becomes clear that they can be fed to animals after surgery. As you know, cats run the risk of gaining extra pounds in the first 8 months after sterilization, and by consuming this food they will remain at their normal weight.
The food also does not contain excess phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, and because of this, the risk of developing urolithiasis is significantly reduced. It is a little disappointing that such a large amount of protein in the feed is achieved by adding mainly plant proteins (corn). But it is very good that they are isolated separately from cereals. And although there are quite a lot of carbohydrates in the food, it is not catastrophic.
People who are accustomed to feeding their pets food of approximately the same price segment can without hesitation switch their cat to this food, because this manufacturer has a more thoughtful and balanced composition. And for those who have the opportunity to purchase even more expensive food, I recommend doing so.

Reviews from veterinarians

Irina Andreevna Golts, 36 years of work experience: “I have a fairly positive opinion about Advance food. As a professional, I am certainly captivated by the availability of a wide range of specialized foods for pets with various health conditions. I especially often recommend Advance Cat Sensitive to my “problem patients”, since I can name no more than 3 analogues to it, and it is more affordable. And if in the case of food for kittens or for sterilized pets it is still possible to find an alternative, then here the option is the most optimal for both the cat and the owner. In my opinion, these foods are suitable both for the purpose of disease prevention or treatment, and for constant feeding. Separately, I would like to add that every owner who feeds their cat dry food, regardless of the brand, should remember the need to always leave a bowl of water in the access area. Cats that eat dry food need more fluids than other cats."

Vakhtang Vussalovich Mamedov, 21 years of experience: “Well, what can I say about Advance food... Personally, in my opinion, the manufacturer is not bad, and it can be chosen as the main component of the pet’s diet. However, one should not jump to conclusions that I am a supporter of ready-made cat food. Not at all. If it is possible to cook for your pet separately and feed it 3-4 times a day with high-quality food, then it is better not to buy any ready-made food. Any cat can be weaned from eating dry food. No matter how good the prepared food is, it is not able to fully replace the high-quality nutrition of the animal. A cat is, first and foremost, a predator, not a hamster. She needs natural food"
