OPTIMAnova Brand

OPTIMAnova is a Spanish brand of super-premium food for dogs and cats, which we stock and recommend on zvireci-potreby.cz as one of the best-tolerated brands on the market — particularly for pets with food allergies, sensitive digestion or specific nutritional needs. The brand is produced by the Spanish company Visán, one of Europe's leading pet food manufacturers with more than twenty years of tradition. OPTIMAnova is built on three non-negotiable principles: a mono-protein formula with a single source of animal protein, a high proportion of fresh, never-frozen meat, and zero soya, wheat, artificial colourings or preservatives.

The history and origins of the OPTIMAnova brand

OPTIMAnova was created in Spain by Visán — a manufacturer with more than twenty years' experience in dog and cat nutrition. The brand was developed to eliminate the most common causes of food allergies and intolerances in dogs and cats — combining multiple sources of animal protein, and the use of soya, wheat and synthetic additives. OPTIMAnova was one of the first brands on the market to adopt a strict mono-protein approach and introduced the unique FMIS (Fresh Meat Injection System) production technology, which allows up to 65% fresh, never-frozen meat to be added directly during production. The food is made at Visán's own modern facility in Spain, and thanks to the inert Fresh-Pack packaging technology, it retains its freshness and nutritional value from production all the way to your pet's bowl.

What makes OPTIMAnova food different from the rest?

The key difference between OPTIMAnova and most food on the market lies in how the meat is processed and its strict mono-protein approach. While standard food uses dehydrated meat meal that undergoes two rounds of heat processing — first when the meal itself is made, then again when the food is produced — OPTIMAnova adds fresh meat directly during production using the FMIS system, so it goes through only one round of heat processing. The result is food with significantly higher nutritional value, a natural aroma and better palatability. Every recipe contains a single source of animal protein only — chicken, salmon or rabbit — because combining several animal proteins in one food complicates digestion and increases the risk of an allergic reaction. Rice is used as the starch source, or potatoes in the grain-free variants — never soya, wheat or maize. All the food is free from GMO ingredients, synthetic preservatives, colourings and flavourings, and is packed under inert gas using Fresh-Pack technology to preserve maximum freshness.

Who is OPTIMAnova food suitable for?

OPTIMAnova for dogs and cats with food allergies — a strict mono-protein formula with a single source of animal protein is the gold standard for an elimination diet. OPTIMAnova is one of the brands most frequently recommended by vets for dealing with food allergies and chronic skin or digestive problems.

OPTIMAnova for dogs and cats with sensitive digestion — the absence of soya, wheat, maize and synthetic additives, combined with the high digestibility of fresh meat, naturally supports healthy digestion without putting a strain on a sensitive gut.

OPTIMAnova for fussy eaters — a high proportion of fresh, never-frozen meat with a natural aroma and taste significantly boosts appetite, even in dogs and cats that turn their nose up at other food.

OPTIMAnova for puppies and kittens — the Junior and Kitten recipes, with a balanced ratio of calcium, phosphorus and essential fatty acids, support proper development from the first weeks of life.

OPTIMAnova for overweight dogs and cats — the Light and Obesity variants, with reduced energy content but a high protein level, help reduce weight without losing muscle mass or vitality.

Frequently asked questions — OPTIMAnova

What does "mono-protein" mean for OPTIMAnova food?

Mono-protein food contains a single source of animal protein only — in OPTIMAnova's case, chicken, salmon or rabbit. Combining several sources of animal protein in one food complicates digestion and increases the risk of an allergic reaction. The mono-protein approach significantly reduces the food's allergenic potential and is the gold standard for an elimination diet.

What is OPTIMAnova's FMIS technology?

FMIS (Fresh Meat Injection System) is a unique production technology that allows fresh, never-frozen meat to be added directly during the kibble manufacturing process. As a result, the meat goes through only one round of heat processing — compared with two for standard meat meal — retaining higher nutritional value, natural aroma and palatability.

Is OPTIMAnova suitable for dogs with a chicken allergy?

Yes. For dogs with a chicken allergy, the OPTIMAnova salmon or rabbit variants are suitable, as they exclude chicken entirely. Thanks to the strict mono-protein approach, you can be sure there's no hidden source of chicken protein in the food.

Is OPTIMAnova grain-free?

Some OPTIMAnova recipes contain rice as a starch source — rice is one of the best-tolerated grains, with low allergenic potential. For dogs and cats that need completely grain-free food, variants with potato instead of rice are available, which are entirely free of grains.
