Schesir Tuna with Chicken in Broth Wet Cat Food - 6 x 70 g

Schesir Tuna with Chicken in Broth Wet Cat Food - 6 x 70 g is a wet food for adult cats with real steamed tuna fillets and chicken in broth, which Schesir says to serve as a complementary meal.

Key Features

• Schesir says to serve this as a complementary meal or treat: Which means alongside a complete diet rather than as the whole of one. See the section below, because it changes how you use it.
• Real steamed tuna fillets with chicken: Two named proteins, with the tuna as the base.
• Tuna from the open sea: The brand's sourcing claim for its fish.
• High in protein and low in carbohydrate: Schesir's own summary of this line, and the right shape for an obligate carnivore.
• Promotes extra hydration: The brand's claim, and the best reason to have a broth in the house.
• No preservatives, colourants or added sugars: The brand's claim for this recipe, and added sugar is worth noting because it has no business in a cat food at all.

Schesir Calls This A Complementary Food, Not A Whole Diet

• Its own description says so in the opening line, and that is the single most important thing on this page.
• A complementary food is meant to be fed alongside a complete and balanced diet. It is not built to be the only thing a cat eats, and a cat fed nothing but this would be short of things it needs.
• That is not a criticism of the food. Used as intended - a topper over a complete food, a way to get water into a cat, or something to tempt a cat that has gone off its dinner - it is very good at the job.
• Tell us what else your cat eats and we will work out how much of this fits alongside it. That is a two-minute conversation and it is the one worth having before you order a case.

What The Broth Is Actually For

• Schesir's own claim for this line is that it promotes extra hydration, and that is the real point of it rather than a marketing line.
• A cat is bad at drinking. It evolved to get 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. A thin broth is water a cat will take without being asked.
• It also makes this the easiest thing in the Schesir range to pour over a dry food, which is how most people actually use it.

What Schesir Claims For This Line, As Their Claim

• 100% natural ingredients, hand-processed and steamed in their own cooking broth. No added preservatives, colourings or dyes.
• Tuna the brand says is sustainably sourced from the open sea, and cruelty-free production.
• 100% recyclable packaging, which the brand states for this line specifically.

Good To Know

• Tuna and chicken are the two commonest things for a cat to react to, so this is not the one to use if you are hunting an intolerance.
• The same recipe is also listed here as a 7 x 70 g pack. That listing does not carry the complementary wording, but it is the same food. Ask us and we will quote whichever works out cheaper.
• Serve at room temperature, cover an opened can and refrigerate it, and use it within a day or two. Cats refuse cold food and you will think they have gone off it. Do not leave wet food down for hours in a warm room.
• Ask us for the composition and the analysis and we will photograph them. The feeding class on this one is already settled by the brand's own wording; the panel is for comparing it properly against anything else you are weighing up.
