The brand amazes with its wide range. There are many foods available in a variety of flavors that can satisfy even the pickiest cat.

Most reviews about Shezir food are positive. However, many are outraged by the price, but since the brand still belongs to premium food, the cost is quite justified.

• For chicken products, the manufacturer used chicken that was raised without the use of hormones. Canned fish are made from fish that were caught in open waters.

The only disadvantages of Schesir products include the absence among the range of canned food for puppies and specialized food designed to solve specific pet health problems (for example, sterilized dogs, animals with a diseased digestive system, allergic reactions, etc.).

Description of Schesir dry food packaging

On the front of the package we see the Italian flag and the inscription “Italian Product” - such marks adorn almost all products made in Italy, probably to emphasize their quality. There is also the inscription “With Natural Ingredients” - “with natural ingredients”.

This is, rather, a purely advertising statement, since the official definition of “natural” in relation to food does not mean high quality ingredients, and does not apply to all components of the diet.

Reviews of Schesir products

Irina: “ I have a Labrador dog, and for a long time I couldn’t find high-quality and affordable food for my beloved animal. A friend recommended trying canned food from Schesir. I was very surprised by their composition, which contains such unusual components as papaya and aloe. Now my dog ​​has become a real gourmet, she doesn’t let me pass, waiting for her delicious treat.”

Dmitry: “ I have a purebred spaniel, so I immediately decided that I would give him specialized food. However, I didn’t want to feed him only dry food, so I decided to diversify the pet’s menu with canned food. I was very pleased with Schesir products - large selection and affordable prices.”

Alexander: “ I adopted the dog when I was quite old (1 year). It took her a long time to adapt and refused to eat. I was already thinking about going to a veterinary clinic, but a friend advised me to try canned food. I really liked the Schesir assortment - the recipe is the same as in the best restaurants. The pet only caught the smell, and it was impossible to tear it away from the bowl.”

Reviews

Before summing up, let's read a few reviews from veterinarians and owners:

Inna: “We have a rather picky Siamese who won’t eat anything. She doesn’t even touch economy class food. I had to buy more expensive food. She especially liked Shezir's canned food. We always buy different ones: sometimes with chicken, sometimes with tuna, sometimes with lamb. Always eats everything! The price is reasonable for us. I recommend this food."

Lyudmila: “We used to feed our cat Sheba, but he developed an allergy to this food. They urgently began to look for another option. The veterinarian advised Shezir that they have hypoallergenic food. She took the risk of taking them and began to slowly feed the cat. I watched him for 2 months, his condition did not change. The wool does not shed, there are no scratches, in general everything is fine. Well, now we will buy food of this brand.”

Alexandra: “I recently bought a British kitten. She named him Mars. From about two months of age, we decided to switch him to ready-made food. Shezir was recommended to me. I bought Pouch at a pet store; there was no dry food. They said they rarely deliver. The first thing that captivated me was the composition. It contains a large amount of meat. Secondly, the smell, the aroma is simply amazing. The kitten immediately became interested and tried it. He eats willingly. True, I don’t feed canned food every day, the price is too expensive.”

Reviews from veterinarians

Customer Reviews

Hi all. I have two cats and a dog. Today I will share reviews about the wonderful Schesir cat food. I bought it at the Zoomir store after reading reviews. I took one jar to try, the flavor was “Chicken fillet with surimi”. What the jar looks like, the exact composition and who the manufacturer is can be seen in the photo.

The contents of the jar look very natural, there really is real chicken fillet in there. The food smells pleasant, both cats really liked it and ate it with pleasure. The youngest is picky, but she didn’t refuse))

My conclusions: the food is made of very high quality, the composition is simply excellent. Unfortunately, the price is not small; for a jar of 85 g you will have to pay 70 rubles. You won’t be able to buy this kind of food every day, but on weekends and holidays you can pamper your cats.

Good afternoon. Today I will share my opinion about Schesir Kitten dry food, which our fold-eared kitten is currently feeding. Previously, on the recommendation of a seller at a pet store, we tried Bosch Sanabelle Kitten, but his baby ate very poorly.

Looking for a replacement, I found Schesir and bought it to try. He came over, which made us very happy, since we definitely need dry food that the kitten would eat (we are on the robot during the day, in the morning we pour a portion into his bowl for lunch).

Somewhere they write that this food is premium, somewhere it is super premium. Regardless, the lineup looks good. The food granules are smaller and lighter than those from Bosch (there are several of them in the photo, you can visually compare them). The kitten eats it well and we are happy with it as long as we stay on it.

My cat loves Schesir canned food, but only the ones in cans, the ones in bags eat much worse. I’ve been buying jars from time to time for a couple of years now, I’m very pleased with the quality, you can see real meat fibers, and not a paste of something unknown (like many other manufacturers).

I also tried drying from this manufacturer, but was extremely disappointed. It’s not even that the cat ate poorly, it’s the composition. The canned food clearly states “chicken fillet”, “tuna”, etc. and you can clearly see that this is meat! In drying, the composition begins with grain, there is corn gluten, and pork fat, not chicken fat.

Conclusions about Shezir food

Reviews about Schesir cat food are mostly positive, especially about canned food.

Features of feeding small breed dogs

Since small dogs have a faster metabolism, they need more calories per 1 kg of weight. It is especially important to correctly calculate the amount of feed during the period of growth and development.

Proteins and easily digestible carbohydrates serve as a quick source of energy replenishment. The main types of healthy high-calorie meat of animals, birds and fish:

• Chicken;
• Beef;
• Turkey;
• Salmon.

Safe sources of carbohydrates include rice. This cereal is considered hypoallergenic.

Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids must also be included in the diet. The benefits of these substances for the body are:

• Increasing immunity;
• Improving brain activity;
• Maintaining a healthy and shiny coat.

Small breed dogs, unlike their larger breeds, live longer than 15 years. At the same time, they grow quickly and are considered adults at the age of eight months. Therefore, it must be taken into account that the period of active life for such dogs is long.

Although such dogs are not prone to obesity, with a passive lifestyle, the appearance of excess weight is not excluded.

Due to the physiological characteristics of the digestive system, small dogs seem to be picky eaters; the taste of food is important to them. The owner will have to choose food that the pet both likes and is beneficial and contains components necessary for health.

Distinctive features of dry food of different classes

Let's say right away that there is no legal classification confirmed by scientific research. The division of feed into classes is the result of joint “legislation” of manufacturers, marketers and buyers. So, today's gradation of feed is a relative concept.

Economy diet class

We present the basic information in tabular form.

Such foods are affordable, but often become addictive due to additives. There is practically no meat in the composition. The granules contain mostly corn, soy or cereals and some powdered by-products. The dog eats this food because it is attracted by the smell of artificial flavors and flavor enhancers. In the future, the pet refuses to eat other more expensive and high-quality food, since it contains no additives. It is better not to start feeding your pet such food. Economy class food is used in emergency situations.

Dry food Premium

The table below contains summary data.

Premium food is suitable as the main diet for an adult dog. The composition contains meat, although the quantitative ratio is only up to 25, maximum 30%. Selected offal and rice are also present. There are no flavorings or additives. Although the food is balanced, it is still not suitable for puppies.

Superpremium and ultrapremium feeds contain at least 25% real meat component. If the composition contains by-products, then it is always written on the packaging that it is, for example, heart or liver. Such foods contain herbs that increase appetite and improve digestion due to their high content of fiber and vitamins.

Ready-made biologically appropriate food and holistic super premium

For clarity, the data is collected in a table.

The composition of such feeds is completely natural, there are no additives or by-products. They contain only meat, vegetables and fruits.

At what age should dry food be introduced?

The puppy begins to be given a ready-made diet at two months of age. It is during this period that it is recommended to switch from breast milk to solid food. First, dry food is soaked by adding a little warm water. A small amount of dry granules is administered at each feeding. After changing teeth, soaking is stopped and the puppy is given only solid food.

How to properly soak dry granules:

• Take warm water (up to 500C), but not hot, so as not to destroy the vitamins.
• The food in the bowl should be completely covered.
• Water is poured in half an hour or 40 minutes. before feeding. During this time, the granules completely swell and become soft.
• If morning food is soaked in the evening, it is stored in the refrigerator.

If you need to achieve a puree soup consistency so that there are no hard lumps, then blend the soaked food with a blender.

The bowl must be washed after each feeding, even if it has been licked. Soaked granules are excellent food for bacteria.
