Natural Ingredients Matter: How Minimally Processed Cat Food Supports Wellbeing
BASIM ALI

Choosing the right cat food is crucial. Schesir believes a minimally processed, high-protein diet made with natural ingredients is essential for feline health. It preserves vital nutrients, supports hydration, and mirrors a cat's natural prey diet for optimal energy, a strong immune system, and long-term wellbeing.

Why are Natural Ingredients Better for My Cat?

Cats are obligate carnivores, biologically designed to thrive on a diet rich in animal protein. Natural ingredients provide this high-quality protein, along with vitamins and minerals in their most bioavailable form. Unlike heavily processed formulas, natural ingredients retain their nutritional integrity, directly supporting:

  • Energy levels from high-quality protein
  • A healthy skin & glossy coat from balanced fats
  • A robust immune system from preserved vitamins and antioxidants

How Does Minimal Processing Make Cat Food More Nutritious?

High-heat and extensive processing can break down and destroy essential nutrients. Schesir’s gentle, minimal processing is designed to avoid this degradation. This approach ensures the food retains its natural nutritional value, leading to:

  • Higher Retention of sensitive vitamins and minerals.
  • Enhanced Protein Quality for lean muscle maintenance.
  • Natural Flavors and Aromas that appeal to your cat’s instincts.
  • Better Hydration as high-moisture ingredients are preserved.

What Nutritional Benefits Does Schesir Provide?

Schesir is formulated to match a cat's natural dietary needs. Our complete and balanced recipes are designed to provide:

  • High Animal Protein: For energy and essential amino acids like taurine.
  • Balanced Fats: Supports brain health and a healthy skin and coat.
  • Low Carbohydrates: Mimics a natural feline diet.
  • High Moisture Content: Critically supports kidney and urinary tract health, especially important for cats with a low thirst drive.

Is Wet Food or Dry Food Better for Cats?

A combination is often best. Schesir recommends mixed feeding—combining wet and dry food. Wet food provides high moisture and protein content closer to a natural prey diet, supporting hydration. Dry food can offer dental benefits and variety. Together, they provide a stimulating, nutrient-balanced diet that satisfies picky eaters.

How Do I Switch My Cat to Schesir Food?

Transition slowly to avoid digestive upset.

  1. Start Small: Offer a small portion of Schesir alongside their current food.
  2. Gradually Increase: Over 5-7 days, slowly increase the amount of Schesir while decreasing their old food.
  3. Observe: Monitor their appetite and response to ensure a smooth transition.
