Järvi Monoprotein adult pet food is also excellent for older pets. It contains only one source of animal protein, making it suitable for animals prone to food intolerances, GI and skin sensitivities.
The formulation is enriched with a vitamin and mineral complex tailored to meet the nutritional needs of adult animals of all ages.
Järvi Monoprotein for puppies/kittens is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating pets. It is enriched with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to support energy levels. It can be transitioned to from the moment pregnancy is confirmed.
The transition to the new food should be made smoothly over a period of seven days, with a gradual mixing of the new and old food.
Järvi Monoprotein is a comprehensive, all-inclusive feed that contains a single source of animal protein.
As with proteins, fats are necessary for an animal’s body development and health. Turkey fat is a source of omega-6 fatty acids, which are vital for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat. In addition to its nutritional value, turkey fat enhances palatability and facilitates the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
It is important to note that allergic reactions to proteins are rare, and occur only in very rare cases, while reactions to carbohydrates and fats are even less common.
Järvi Monoprotein feeds use dehydrated meat in their composition.
The product’s key benefits include its high protein and nutrient content, which is essential for animal health, as well as the preservation of all beneficial components post-moisture removal, ensuring optimal nutrient delivery.
The meat content in the Järvi Monoprotein range is notably high, reaching up to 34% in some products.
Järvi is actively developing new formulations and introducing food with different flavors for cats and dogs of different ages. For ongoing news and new products, please visit our website.
The product is suitable for a balanced daily diet, containing all the necessary nutrients for the healthy functioning of the animal, as it would receive if fed in the wild.
Järvi dry food is complete, meaning it does not require additional additives and provides all the nutrients your pet needs for healthy growth and development at all life stages.
Järvi’s feeds are holistic, meaning they contain only natural products, with meat as the main ingredient. We prioritize the use of premium ingredients to ensure the best possible nutritional value. Safety, nutrition, and balance are our top priorities.
Cereals are a rich source of fatty acids, especially linoleic and linolenic acids, which are essential for healthy skin and coat. These elements play an important role in maintaining immunity and central nervous system function. In Järvi’s base range, corn is the primary cereal, while monoprotein feeds include rice and barley.
Cereals also serve as a significant energy source. Their structural elements are indispensable for the animal’s body and complement the other ingredients in the feed. Each ingredient is included in the composition to meet specific needs in clearly defined dosages. It is essential to include grains in this class of feed, along with other ingredients, to ensure a balanced diet. At Järvi, we are committed to utilizing only the highest-quality raw materials in our feed production.
Budget food manufacturers often use inexpensive ingredients and techniques that can compromise the nutritional quality and health of your pet. These techniques may include a higher percentage of plant-based proteins.
Järvi is a holistic food that provides your pet with all the necessary ingredients for a healthy life and body development. This is achieved through the precise balancing of ingredients.

In comparison to budget brands, Järvi’s superiority lies in its long-lasting nourishment, attributable to its natural, healthy, and high-quality ingredients.
A dedicated team of professionals, including technologists, laboratory technicians, veterinarians, and nutritionists, meticulously monitors the quality at every stage of production, from the procurement of raw materials to the sale of finished products.
Pouches and cans are types of packaging for wet canned food. Pouches are plastic metalized bags that are sealed at the top edge. Cans are a form of packaging for canned food.
It is important to note that wet food products may vary in terms of taste, texture, appearance, and ingredients, regardless of the type of packaging. When selecting the appropriate food for your pet, it is crucial to carefully review the ingredients listed on the packaging.
Wheat is incorporated into Järvi pouches. This cereal stands out due to its exceptional protein content, which is unrivaled in the market. It is also a source of B vitamins, helps regulate stools, and promotes healthy intestinal flora.
Furthermore, the incorporation of cereals serves as a vital natural component, ensuring the optimal consistency of the product without the need for artificial stabilizers.
It is important to note that treats should not be used as a substitute for a complete diet. Instead, they should be regarded as a nutritious supplement, similar to an apple as a snack for a child. While they may temporarily satisfy hunger, serve as a source of praise, or be used as a reward during exercise, it is essential to understand that they should not replace a main meal.
The proportion of treats in a pet’s daily diet should be no more than 10%.
Järvi foods are natural and complete, with a balance of vitamins, micro- and macronutrients that are essential for a healthy pet.
It is not necessary to add vitamins and minerals separately unless there are individual medical conditions.
All relevant data is clearly marked on Järvi feed packages and can also be found on our website. To access this information, simply select the desired product and open its card.
The actual amount of taurine contained in the feed is 4.5 g/kg. Please note that there is a typographical error in the units of measurement on the package (4.5 mg/kg). These indicators are confirmed by the results of independent laboratory analysis. This typographical error will be corrected in the near future.
According to established standards, an adult cat requires a minimum of 80 milligrams of sodium per 100 grams of food to maintain optimal bodily functions (GOST R
Meat is a complex source of nutrients, including proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. However, when creating feed, our focus is on the proteins, specifically the components that make up these proteins: amino acids and peptides.
At Järvi, our team of experts meticulously extracts the proteins from the meat, subsequently separating the essential components for our feed production. This process utilizes specialized enzymes and gentle evaporation at low temperatures. The result is a powder form that is a concentrate of amino acids and peptides. This process is referred to as “hydrolyzed meat protein.” This product is free from any harmful, dangerous, or artificial substances. It is a concentrated source of beneficial nutrients essential for pet health.
Järvi has been formulated to meet the needs of pets at different life stages. Järvi contains a minimum of 1.1% and a maximum of 1.6% calcium. This range is specifically chosen to support growth, skeletal development, and to minimize strain on the kidneys and urinary system.
Calcium plays a significant role in various bodily functions, including the heart muscle, the reproductive system, the transmission of intercellular information and nerve impulses, and improves metabolism and the body’s immune response. It is crucial to note that calcium deficiency and excess can lead to disorders of bone formation. Puppies and kittens require higher calcium intake compared to adult animals.
Järvi’s food production is designed to meet the specific needs of each pet, considering factors such as age and activity level.
The pellets are crafted to differ in size and hardness, with adult and baby food having different caloric and nutrient content, as well as vitamins and minerals. Some elements necessary for a growing and developing organism become harmful to adult animals in large quantities. Conversely, insufficient intake of nutrients, vitamins, and trace elements can hinder the development and formation of the body of a young animal.
During the growth phase, puppies require special support for their immune system, bones, joints, muscles, and digestion. However, as the puppy grows and reaches physiological maturity, its nutritional needs evolve, including specific dietary requirements. It is important to note that certain nutrients, which are essential for growth and development in puppies, can be harmful to adult animals in large quantities. Conversely, insufficient nutrients, vitamins, and trace elements can hinder the development and formation of the body of a young animal.
Therefore, it is essential to transition your pet to a new food gradually over the course of a week, beginning by mixing puppy food with a small amount of adult food and gradually increasing the percentage of the new food. This approach allows for a gradual transition, reduces the risk of dietary disorders, and facilitates a smoother adjustment process.
Ensuring that a kitten is properly nourished is essential for its optimal growth and development. A balanced diet, providing proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins at the appropriate times and in the correct proportions, is crucial for a kitten’s healthy development. A nutritionally balanced diet formulated for its age group is ideal for this purpose.
The primary differences lie in the levels of vitamin and mineral supplementation, the amount of protein, and, as a general rule, calories. The ratio of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the diet of an adult cat and an energetic kitten must be different. Kittens have high energy requirements but small bodies, which limits their food intake. Consequently, it is essential to provide a higher calorie and nutrient density in a smaller amount of food. Consequently, kitten food is more concentrated, caloric, and protein-rich than adult cat food.
It is recommended to transition to adult cat food once the kitten reaches 12 months of age. While it is possible to transition a kitten to adult food at eight months of age, it is advisable to consult with a veterinarian for guidance. Large breeds, such as Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest, and Siberian cats, are considered kittens until they reach
When developing a new product, Järvi’s experts meticulously craft the composition, size, shape, and hardness of the pellets, ensuring the food is both convenient and nutritious for consumption.
The pellet size is determined by the age of the pet:
The daily allowance for these animals is adjusted as they mature in response to changes in their nutritional needs. At an early age, pets require more energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals for active growth, bone and muscle formation, and to maintain a high metabolic rate. This explains the increased feeding rate during the first few months of life.
However, as they mature, their growth rate slows down, their bodies reach maturity, and their needs stabilize. Adult animals no longer require as much energy as they did during the formative stage, and overfeeding can lead to weight gain. To ensure optimal health and weight management, the daily feeding amount is adjusted accordingly.
In dry food, the calcium content is 1.1% for kittens and 0.8% for puppies, while the phosphorus content is 0.8% and 1%, respectively.
The calcium and phosphorus content in pates is as follows:
In kitten spiders:
Järvi Monoprotein dry food contains:
While it is generally acceptable to provide sterilized cats with regular adult cat food, there are several factors to take into consideration.
These considerations are meticulously addressed in specialized foods formulated for spayed and neutered cats.
The transition to a new diet should be gradual, occurring over several days, with the habitual food being partially replaced by the new food.
These foods are formulated to meet the specific dietary requirements of each group, addressing concerns such as composition and nutrition.

Both Järvi wet and dry food options are complete nutritionals, with distinctions in manufacturing technology, formulation, and moisture content. Chewing dry food croquettes has been shown to help prevent tartar and plaque, while wet food is known for its high palatability and moisture content. Mixed feeding is a great advantage, as it adds variety to the pet’s diet, taking into account all the needs of the pet.
It is essential to adhere strictly to the recommended daily food allowance to ensure your pet does not overeat.
A combination of dry and wet food can be incorporated into a pet’s diet through alternation or mixture. However, it is crucial to ensure that all types of food are selected with the animal’s composition and characteristics in mind. When implementing mixed feeding, it is recommended to allocate one-third of the diet consisting of wet food and two-thirds consisting of dry food. Järvi Monoprotein, formulated by nutritionists and endorsed by veterinarians, is a suitable option for mixed feeding, offering a balanced approach to pet nutrition.
Treats can also be offered as a means to supplement and diversify your pet’s diet. However, it is essential to consider the energy value of these treats and adjust the daily feeding rate accordingly.
The total weight of the product itself differs: 85 g — pouch, 100 g — lamister (pate). Consequently, the price of a spider is lower than that of pates.
The primary distinction lies in the consistency, as preferences vary among individuals: some prefer the consistency of pate, while others require sauce or jelly.
Lamisters are a whole package of meat pâté without liquid, while pouches are meat pieces in jelly or sauce.
In some cases, when transitioning from economy and premium food to a higher quality option, the pet may refuse to eat the new food. This is often due to the presence of flavorings and flavor enhancers in lower-quality food options. This can make it challenging to transition the pet to a more natural diet. In such cases, a gradual transition approach is recommended, allowing the pet sufficient time to adjust to the new food.
It’s also important to note that each pet has unique dietary needs. They may simply not like the taste or smell of the food. We recommend purchasing small 400 gram packs of Järvi food in different flavors to allow for a trial period to determine the pet’s preferred option.
To enhance palatability, the food can be mixed with Järvi liquid treats, such as cream soups, or Järvi natural salmon oil can be added.
We stand behind the quality of our product. If your pet refuses our food, we will replace it with another flavor or issue a refund.
A gradual transition is recommended when switching animals to a new food, as it allows for a smooth adaptation to the new diet.
The transition should be completed over a period of at least seven days, during which time both the new and old foods should be offered.
On Days 1 and 2, 25% of the diet should consist of the new food, and 75% of the diet should consist of the old food.On Days 3 and 4, the proportion should be 50% new food and 50% old food.On Days 5 and 6, the proportion should be 75% new food and 25% old food.Beginning on Day 7, the pet should be fed exclusively the new food, and its behavior should be closely monitored.
The feeding rate is determined by the composition of the food, including its caloric and nutrient content (fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc.). At the product development stage, veterinarians and nutritionists calculate the feeding rate. The feeding rate indicated on the product’s packaging can be adjusted based on factors such as the pet’s activity level, age, predisposition to obesity, and individual health characteristics.
Symptoms indicating the potential inadequacy of a food product include:
It is important to note that these symptoms may not necessarily be caused by the food itself, but rather by external factors or underlying pathologies. It is also very important to transition to a new diet gradually, allowing the animal’s body time to adjust.
