What is Brit Pet Food?
Brit is a premium pet food brand from the Czech Republic, made by a family-owned company with over three decades of pet nutrition experience.
It’s formulated with carefully selected natural ingredients and produced in modern facilities using high-quality standards. Brit Premium by Nature (the range available in South Africa) is complete, balanced nutrition for dogs and cats of all ages.
How is Brit different from other brands?
Brit stands out because:
• Real meat first: Many recipes have 45–55% meat for protein, flavour, and muscle support.
• Functional, natural ingredients: Salmon oil, collagen, green-lipped mussels, fruits & herbs support coat, joints, digestion, and immunity.
• No unnecessary fillers: No soy, GMOs, or shady additives—just wholesome nutrition.
• Family-owned: Decisions are made with pets in mind, not shareholders.
• Environmentally conscious: Recyclable packaging and sustainable practices.
Is Brit vet approved?
Yip! Brit Premium is a complete, balanced everyday diet developed by pet nutrition experts and produced under strict international quality standards. Many veterinary practices stock and recommend Brit thanks to its quality ingredients and consistent nutrition.
Can I feed Brit to puppies and kittens?
Yes! Brit has formulas for puppies, junior dogs, kittens, and pregnant or lactating cats. The kitten foods contain up to 80% meat and animal derivatives with excellent hydration and nutrients to support growth and immune system development.
Just pick the recipe that matches your pet’s age and life stage (junior, adult, or senior) so they get the right balance of nutrients.
Why does my large breed puppy need large breed puppy food?
Large breed puppies grow faster and are prone to joint and bone issues if overfed or given the wrong calcium/protein ratio. Brit Large Breed Puppy food supports steady growth, strong muscles, and healthy joints.
Does Brit help digestion and overall health?
Yes! The recipes include prebiotics and natural fibre sources like apple pulp, herbs, and oats to support gut health.
Good nutrition isn’t just calories—it’s about digestion, energy, immune support, and shiny coats. Pets on Brit often have healthy stools, glossy coats, and steady energy levels.
Is Brit good for skin, coat, and joints?
Yes! Natural omega-3 fatty acids from salmon oil and joint-supporting ingredients like collagen and green-lipped mussels help maintain healthy skin, shiny coats, and mobility. Perfect for scratching less and zooming more!
Does Brit have prescription diets?
Yes, Brit offers Veterinary Diets, though these are currently not available in South Africa.
Can I feed Brit functional cat snacks and treats?
Absolutely! Brit has functional snacks to support specific health needs:
- Hairball treats: Help reduce hairball formation and aid digestion
- Dental snacks: Support clean teeth and fresh breath
- Calming treats: Catnip and goji berries to help stressed or anxious cats
- Superfruit treats: Packed with antioxidants for overall health
Can Brit help indoor cats or less active pets?
Yes! Brit Indoor Cat formulas are designed to help maintain healthy weight, urinary health, and digestion while still tasting delicious.
Do senior dogs need a different formula?
Yes! Brit Senior recipes are for dogs 7+ years. They include slightly fewer calories, joint-supporting ingredients, and easily digestible proteins to keep older pets active, mobile, and healthy.
How do I transition my pet to Brit food?
Switch gradually over a week:
- Days 1–2: 25% Brit + 75% old food
- Days 3–4: 50/50 mix
- Days 5–6: 75% Brit + 25% old food
- Day 7+: 100% Brit
This avoids tummy upsets and lets digestion adjust nicely.
