*Themaximum score is 100 points
In our test, Harngesund from ITIKO® was initially accepted somewhat hesitantly. The composition of Harngesund is of high quality, without preservatives – but with cranberries, rosemary and sodium chloride. This combination is intended to help cats achieve better health and well-being. Practical tests have shown that the consistency of Harngesund allows easy chewing and effortless swallowing , even with sensitive teeth. In addition, Harngesund are suitable for four-legged friends of all ages and breeds. Urinary Health is therefore an excellent addition to a cat’s diet.
Overall, it can be said that ITIKO® Urinary Health largely fulfills the manufacturer’s advertising promises. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to subject the product to a long-term test. In our opinion, the high quality of the composition, the acceptance by cats and the versatile suitability for different age groups and breeds make Harngesund a recommendable option for the health and well-being of pets.
