Schesir Special Mousse Light Chicken Wet Cat Food - 3 x 70 g

Schesir Special Mousse Light Chicken Wet Cat Food - 3 x 70 g is a complete and balanced grain-free wet cat food in a soft mousse, lower in calories, made with chicken and turkey.

Key Features

• Lower in calories: Aimed at a cat carrying too much weight, while still being a complete food rather than a reduced portion of a normal one.
• Chicken and turkey, both named: Worth knowing, because the name says chicken and the recipe is two birds. If you are ruling out turkey, this is not the one.
• Soft mousse throughout: Spoons out cleanly, so a weighed portion is easy to serve accurately rather than estimated.
• Labelled complete and balanced: A whole diet rather than a topper.

This Is A Complete Food, And Not All Schesir Is

• This one is complete and balanced, so it can be the whole diet.
• Schesir's Complements line is a complementary food and its own label says so. A complementary food is a topper, not a diet, and a cat fed only on one will come up short on taurine, vitamins and minerals over time.
• If you are buying one Schesir tin to feed and nothing else, buy from a complete range. Ask us and we will point you at the right shelf rather than let you guess from the front of a tin.

The Three Special Mousse Recipes Do Different Jobs

• Exigent is aimed at the cat that refuses things. It is the same complete recipe in a softer, stronger-smelling mousse, and smell is usually what wins a fussy cat over.
• Light is lower in calories, for a cat that is carrying too much weight.
• Skin and Coat is the salmon recipe, carrying more oil.
• All three are foods, not treatments. If a cat is genuinely overweight, or is itching, or has gone off its food for more than a day or two, the food is not the first thing to change. Ask your vet, then ask us.

Wet Food And Water, Which Matters More Here

• A wet food is roughly three-quarters water. In this climate that is water going into the cat without it having to choose to drink, and cats are famously bad at choosing to drink.
• It also means you are buying water by weight. That is the honest reason a tin looks dear per kilogram next to a bag of kibble.

Opened Tins, In This Heat

• Cover an opened tin, refrigerate it, and use it within a day or two.
• Let it come back to room temperature first. Cats refuse cold food, and you will think they have gone off it when they have only objected to the fridge.
• Do not leave wet food down for hours in a warm room. This matters a great deal more here than it does in Italy, where it was formulated.

Good To Know

• Grain-free. Schesir does not state potato-free on these, so if you are specifically avoiding potato starch, ask us and we will read the pack for you.
• Cats are far more stubborn about new food than dogs. Put the new tin beside the old one rather than swapping the bowl in one go, and do not take one refusal as the answer.
• A lower-calorie food does not make a cat lose weight on its own. The portion does. Tell us your cat's weight and we will work out what it should actually be getting per day.
• Rapid weight gain, or weight gain with increased thirst, is worth a vet's opinion before you treat it as a feeding problem.
• Ask us for the composition panel and we will photograph it for you. The front of a tin is not enough to compare two foods.
