KOME feed composition
KOME feed is 100% free of GMOs, artificial colors, sweeteners and preservatives. In addition, they have a gluten-free variety.
Main ingredients
By way of summary, the main components of KOME feed are the following:
- Food for Adult Dogs with Chicken and Lamb: 20% hydrolyzed chicken meat, 15% dehydrated lamb and 7% dehydrated fish.
- Grain-Free Feed with Chicken, Tuna and Vegetables: 32% hydrolyzed chicken meat, 10% dehydrated tuna, 20% potato and vegetables (peas, carrots and leeks).

- Cat Food with Chicken and Tuna: 30% hydrolyzed chicken, brown rice (15%), potato protein, peas, animal protein (80% chicken, duck and turkey).
Food preservation processes
It is also important to note that at KOME they use two types of processes to preserve meat: hydrolyzation and dehydration Dehydration is one of the one of the most common conservation processes in feed, where water molecules are removed from the food. On the other hand, hydrolyzation or hydrolysis adds, instead, water molecules to the food, in addition to bacteria, enzymes, acid or alkalis, in a way that allows its good conservation and, in turn, facilitate the digestion of cats or dogs. In addition, hydrolysis enhances the flavor of food, a detail that is also very important among animal guardians.
Ash percentage
Analyzing their composition, we have observed that they contain between 7 and 8.5% ash, which are the charred remains of foods, which, we must remember, are he althy for our pets, as they are rich in minerals. Yes, to the right extent. Bearing in mind that the percentage of ash in a balanced diet should be between 6 and 11%, we could deduce that, in the case of KOME, the percentage of ash is not excessively low (the lower the percentage, the greater the food quality), but it is not very high either. Therefore, we would be facing a feed of medium-high quality

Opinions of feed KOME
On our site we have had the opportunity to test for a week several types of KOME feed, 3 for dogs and cat. This has been our experience.
KOME dog food reviews
We have been able to test the food for adults, the mini food and the food for puppies with Maya, a 5-year-old English cocker spaniel positive for leishmania who was previously being fed Ownat brand food, another natural feed for dogs.
The first thing we could verify is that Maya enjoyed eating, especially the Mini Dog Food with Chicken and Salmon, which from the outset It generated a very positive opinion. We have also verified that eats more croquettes than with the Ownat brand feed, despite the fact that the portions have been the same.
On the other hand, there has been no change in his stool and the coat looks good. However, a week is not enough time to determine the effect of a feed on the animal's coat.
Reviews of KOME food for cats
On the other hand, we have tested KOME cat food with Meuli, a 10-year-old common European cat with obesity problems who regularly consumed Royal Canin cat food.
As happened with Maya, we have been able to verify that Meuli has been fascinated by the taste of the feed We have also noticed that she has made stools more regularly, which is a good sign, since it seems that the feed has made his intestinal tract easier.
On the other hand, both her feces and her cloak were good lookingAs for the hairballs, Meuli he hasn't had any, which is positive. However, it is important to clarify that her previous feed was specially formulated to prevent hairballs.
Regarding feline weight control, it is early to know if KOME, together with exercise and other veterinary guidelines, would help you lose weight.
Conclusions
We deduce, then, that KOME is a brand of natural feed in the medium-high range and suitable for all pockets. Their croquettes are very tasty for our pets, probably because it is largely hydrolyzed food. The size of the feed is also suitable for dogs and cats of any age. In addition, it looks like a very transparent brand, since both on the back of the bags of feed and on its website they show the percentages of ingredients, nutritional additives and analytical components very clearly. On the other hand, the fact that they donate part of their profits to different associations says a lot about their love for animals. Without a doubt, KOME is a brand that we recommend on our site.
