- The kibbles are a bit too big for Misaka's taste, and she's not as crazy about it as she is about her regular Pro Plan.
- The price has gone up a bit since I first started buying it, which is a bummer.
- The company's customer support is a bit lacking - I had to email them a few times to get answers to my questions.
- The return policy is a bit confusing, and I'm not entirely sure how it works.
- The kibble doesn't seem to agree with Misaka's stomach, and she's been having a bit of diarrhea since she started eating it.

Editor's Summary
I've been trying out Alfapet's mono-protein kibble with my fussy feline, Misaka, and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. On the one hand, the price point is pretty reasonable, coming in at around 350 rubles for 400 grams, and the vitamins and minerals are a big plus. However, the kibbles are a bit too big for Misaka's taste, and she's not as crazy about it as she is about her regular Pro Plan. Still, it's worth giving it a shot if you're looking for a change of pace for your cat.

Hello there, fellow pet parents!
If you've been scrolling through adorable cat pics for five minutes, congratulations, you've earned a break!
Meet Misaka, my lovely, aging, and slightly chunky cat who's prone to overeating - who isn't, right?
As a regular Pro Plan user, I like to mix things up and try new kibbles. I stumbled upon Alfapet while browsing online, and their mono-protein line with chicken caught my eye. The price point was around 350 rubles for 400 grams, which I thought was reasonable - though it's a bit pricier now.
Alfapet offers a range of lines, including a premium series that's a bit more affordable. I opted for the mono-protein line with duck, which contains a decent amount of protein and some nice vitamins and minerals. The ingredients list is pretty impressive, with duck as the first ingredient and 32% protein content.
When switching to a new kibble, it's essential to do it gradually to prevent digestive upset. I appreciate that the manufacturer provides clear instructions and even includes diagrams to help with the transition.
Inside the resealable bag, I found the kibble to be a dense, brown color with a meaty aroma. The texture was a bit uneven, with visible grains. The kibble itself was quite large and dry, almost resembling dog food in size and texture.
Unfortunately, my cat didn't take to the Alfapet kibble. The large size and dry texture just didn't appeal to her, and I had to stop the experiment after a few tries. I'm not sure about the digestive comfort or potential allergic reactions, but I do know that the size and texture were a major turn-off.My advice to fellow pet owners: be aware of the potential issues with this kibble, especially if your cat is finicky like mine. Maybe Alfapet will improve their recipe, but for now, I'd recommend exploring other options.
Nice chatting with you all, and I hope this review helps someone out there!
