Friskis Dog Food Review

Friskis: A Budget-Friendly Option for Your Furry Friend

summarizeEditor's Summary

I recently tried Friskis dry dog food with my two furry friends, and it's a decent option for those watching their wallet. The price was super low, which initially caught my attention. However, the protein and fat content are pretty low (18/9), which is a bit concerning. You'll need to add some meat to make it worthwhile, especially during the winter months. It's edible, but it's not the most impressive option in terms of quality.

I recently gave Friskis dry dog food a shot, and it's a decent choice for those watching their wallet. It's not the most impressive option, but it gets the job done.

The price was super low, which is what initially caught my attention. I fed two dogs, an alabai and a mixed breed, and we went through about five 10kg bags over the summer. That's a lot of kibble!

Let's cut to the chase - Friskis is like Pedigree on a shoestring. It's edible, but you'll need to add some meat to make it worthwhile, especially during the winter months when your dog needs a bit more oomph.

At the time, Friskis cost around 100 rubles per kilogram, which is cheap by today's standards. I remember when it was 50 rubles a kilogram back in the day - now that's a bargain!

The protein and fat content are pretty low (18/9), which is a bit concerning, even for an older dog. I'm not sure if that's a deal-breaker, but it's something to consider.

I wasn't expecting a miracle, considering it's an economy-class food, but the composition is pretty underwhelming. The kibble is small, flat, and light in color, with a mild smell that's not exactly appetizing.

Next to Pedigree granulesCompared to Pedigree granules, Friskis looks pretty sad. It's like they skimped on the flavor enhancers - it's just not as appealing.

It's edible, but the dogs drank more water, and it was slightly looser than Pedigree. It's actually a decent option for weight loss, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Their coats are okay, but I'm not sure about the long-term effects on their fur. I guess only time will tell.

The last 2kg bag was used as a substitute for porridge. With the mixed schedule and occasional lack of time to cook porridge, I added some meat to make it more appealing. It's not the worst thing I've ever fed my dogs, but it's not the best either.

Friskis is a decent addition to their meals, but on its own, I think it's a bit lacking. It's always delivered fresh, with minimal waste, and the dogs eat it without issue.

However, I think it's a bit pricey for a standalone food, especially considering the low protein and fat content. You get what you pay for, I suppose.
