- Proteins – 25%, there are 5% of them – chicken, fish and fish waste. The content is quite small, despite the fact that the meat loses weight during processing and remains no more than 1. 3-2. 5 grams.

Reviews
Veterinarian, surgeon and ophthalmologist Brenda Zhukova
I recommend the ready-made Gemon diet only if it is not possible to switch to higher-level foods. The only advantages are their quality-matched price and the attitude of Italian production to a more thorough check.
In my opinion, Djimon's prepared food is not suitable for long-term use, as both wet and dry dog food contain a large amount of cereals. They do not bring the animal a sense of fullness, so at the first opportunity it is better to switch to a higher quality food with a high content of protein nutrients.
The manufacturer does not indicate the percentage of meat and meat by-products or fish. Although there are quite a meager amount of them in the composition, it is not even clear in what form the fish gets into the food.
According to experienced veterinarians who have worked with Haemon, you can not expect anything supernatural from this premium brand. It will be more useful for a pet to switch to another, higher-quality ready-made diet.
