Grandorf Cat Adult Sterilized Low Grain 4 Meat, 8 kg is a low-grain holistic dry food for neutered cats with sensitive digestion. According to the card options, the meat base is lamb, turkey, duck and wild boar; according to the description, the formula is enriched with ocean fish. It contains live probiotic Enterococcus faecium bacteria (about one billion per kilogram) and L-carnitine. The manufacturer claims reduced fat, increased protein and urine acidity kept at pH 6–6.5. There is no corn, wheat, peas, chicken, eggs, soy, gluten, GMOs, artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives.
What the manufacturer claims
The food is called hypoallergenic. Four meat sources and fish provide complete protein and a balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat. The probiotic supports gut flora and stable digestion. Reduced fat, increased protein and L-carnitine help keep a neutered pet's weight and muscle mass in shape. Urine pH control, according to the description, lowers the risk of urinary stones.

Cons and what to watch

- Large bag. For one cat 8 kg lasts a long time — proper storage matters.
- No feeding table.
Many proteins — plus or minus
For a healthy cat, four meats are simply tasty and varied. But if a cat has a food allergy, the more proteins a food contains, the harder it is to tell what it reacts to. In such cases a single-protein recipe is better, such as Grandorf Cat Sterilized Turkey with turkey only. 4 Meat suits neutered cats without allergies that enjoy variety.
A probiotic in dry food
Enterococcus faecium is a probiotic strain often added to pet food to support gut flora. The manufacturer states about one billion bacteria per kilogram. To keep the probiotic viable, store the food in a closed bag away from heat and moisture.
Storing 8 kg
It is best to pour a large bag into a tight container in portions or keep it closed with a clip in a cool, dry place. That way the kibble does not go stale and keeps its smell. More in how to store dry food.
For a neutered cat
After neutering a cat uses less energy, so portions need to be controlled and water given generously. A food with urine pH control is part of prevention, not a substitute for water. More in food for neutered cats and urinary stones in cats.
How to switch
Mix the new food with the old one for 7–10 days, gradually increasing its share. If your cat refuses it or has digestive issues, extend the switch. The plan is in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Who it suits
The food suits neutered adult and senior cats without food allergies, multi-cat households and owners who want to avoid chicken. For a single-protein diet choose another recipe. All dry foods are in dry cat food.
Verdict
Grandorf Cat Sterilized 4 Meat is a holistic food for neutered cats with lamb, turkey, duck, wild boar and fish, a probiotic, L-carnitine and a target urine pH of 6–6.5, with no chicken or wheat. The downsides are the missing recipe and analysis on the card and the multiple proteins, which rule it out for a strict hypoallergenic diet.
