Schesir Tuna with Chicken and Shrimps in Jelly Pouch Wet Cat Food - 10 x 85 g

Schesir Tuna with Chicken and Shrimps in Jelly Pouch Wet Cat Food - 10 x 85 g is a wet food for cats with tuna, chicken and shrimps set in jelly, with added taurine and vitamins A and E.

Key Features

• Taurine, vitamin A and vitamin E are named: Taurine is the one that counts for a cat, and naming it is more than the rest of this group does. There is a section below on what that does and does not tell you.
• Three proteins: tuna, chicken and shrimps: Which makes it the richest recipe in the group and the wrong one for an elimination diet.
• Selected parts of the meat and fish: The brand's wording, steam-cooked rather than boiled.
• 100% natural ingredients: The brand's claim, with no added colourings and no preservatives.

Taurine And Vitamins Are Named On This One, Which Is Worth Something

• Schesir names vitamins A and E and taurine in this recipe. Taurine is the one that matters most here: a cat cannot make enough of its own, a shortage damages the heart and the eyes, and it is the requirement most specific to cats rather than to animals in general.
• A pure topper usually does not bother adding it. So naming taurine is a genuine point in favour of this being built as a full meal rather than a garnish, and we are telling you that because it is useful.
• What it is not, though, is a declaration. Schesir still does not call this complete and balanced, and we are not going to round a good sign up into a claim. Ask us for the pack photo and we will settle it properly.

Whether This Is A Complete Food Is Not Stated, So We Will Not Claim It

• Schesir does not call this recipe complete and balanced in its own copy, and we are not going to say it for them.
• That matters, because Schesir says it plainly when it applies. Its Complete and Balanced line says so in the name, and one of the pouches in this very group says the opposite - its own text calls it a supplementary food. The brand is capable of being clear; this listing simply is not.
• A complementary food fed as a whole diet leaves a cat short, and a cat is less forgiving about that than a dog.
• Ask us and we will photograph the feeding panel on the actual pack before you order. If you want a wet food that is definitely a whole diet, Schesir's Complete and Balanced range says so on the tin.

Why The Pouch Rather Than The Tin

• Open, squeeze, serve, bin the pouch. Nothing goes back in the fridge half-used and nothing sits in an opened tin going warm.
• In this climate that is a real advantage rather than a convenience. An opened tin of wet food in a warm kitchen is not something to leave for later.
• The brand states the pouches are recyclable.

What Schesir Claims For This Line, As Their Claim

• 100% natural ingredients, with selected parts of the fish and meat, steam-cooked and hand-prepared.
• No added colourings and no preservatives.

Wet Food And Water, Which Counts For More Here

• A cat is bad at drinking. It evolved to take most of its water from what it caught, and in this climate a cat that runs slightly dry for years is a urinary problem waiting to happen.
• Wet food is water going in without the cat having to choose to drink it.

Good To Know

• Contains shellfish. Not one to try if your cat has reacted to prawns or shrimp before.
• The same recipe is also listed here as a 10 x 50 g pouch. Oddly, that listing does not mention the taurine or the vitamins at all - the listings differ, not the food. Ask us and we will quote whichever works out cheaper.
• A pouch is meant to go in one serving. If any is left, cover it, refrigerate it and use it within a day. Serve at room temperature - cats refuse cold food and you will think they have gone off it.
• Ask us for the composition, the analysis and the feeding panel and we will photograph them. This line publishes none of the three, and the feeding panel is the one that settles what the food actually is.
