Hey 🙂
I’m moving to Estonia with my cats and I was wondering what are considered good dry cat food brands?
My cats currently eat the Farmina N&D grain-free ones, but this brand seems hard to find
Any suggestions and tips you have are greatly appreciated!

I think it also depends on what your cat likes.
Hard?

A few years back I did some research and found that Taste of the Wild was the best option available on our market. Maybe there are other good brands available now too, but this one stood out back then.
I get it from here [https://basilio.ee/product/search?search=taste+of+the+wild&category_id=47](https://basilio.ee/product/search?search=taste+of+the+wild&category_id=47)
Moving can be very stressful for cats, so if you are able, I would’t change their food as well 😊
There is an Estonian online shop called pets24 that sells Farmina: [https://www.pets24.ee/kuivtoit-kassile-en/Farmina](https://www.pets24.ee/kuivtoit-kassile-en/Farmina) and they deliver to parcel lockers. I have ordered from them several times without issues.
Also, depending on where you will live, your local veterinary clinic or pet shop may have Farmina N&D, so it may be worth asking around once you’re here.
Royal Canin, I buy brands more widely available in groceries – Purina ONE and Perfect Fit. I rely more on wet food though, buying large boxes of Purina Felix/Latz on [Amazon.de](http://Amazon.de) ([example](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B08HP5GW4F?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1)). Dry food is more on the side.
Our pet shops carry tons of different brands, I think you should just test what your cats prefer the best
My 20-year-old cat loves PrimaCat (dry). This is one of the few brands that don’t cause indigestion. But that’s quite individual I think.
order from germany – its cheaper
Karvakera had some decent pricing the last time I checked. Which wasn’t recent tbf, since I’m currently suffering from acute floof deficiency :'(

I order from Zooplus.de because it’s significantly cheaper than buying in Estonia.
We just moved with 2 cats in may too, currently using Araton brand food, seems to work well and not too expensive either (we buy either 15 or 20kg at a time, lasts for 4-5 months with 4 cats, food is constantly accessible for cats and we just refill when it gets low or empty, pack costs around 40€ or 35 if you get a discount). Getting cat food from regular grocery shop is much more expensive in total and not as good quality kibble (e.g cats eat more to get their fill too). Just order from pets24, internetshop.ee or somewhere like those places, gets delivered in 1-2 days usually to the nearest parcel station.
Clinics usually sell Hill’s and Royal Canine pet foods. Def there are options that have the same dietary benefits as you mentioned.
But I mostly trust that pet foods manufactured in Europe follow EU legislations and what is written on the package is also in the packages. So if you don’t use prescription food, there are solid options in various price ranges. Since my cat is on special diet, I feed him prescription food mixed with regular kibble that vet listed the criteria for. When I asked about preferred brands or sorts they just said that whatever fits the criteria from the pet store’s selection, all is fine. Just grocery store options tend to be cheap but bulked with nonsense.
I currently use one sold in Depo – cheaper than sold in pet stores. They also have a much cheaper but equally good alternative for Cat’s best wood fiber (red package) litter, if your cats are in need 🙂
I personally buy dried chinese people. Slice them into smaller pieces and feed them to the cat.
