Top 5 Signs Your Cat Needs a Nutritional Upgrade

Cats are masters at hiding discomfort, but their diet often reveals their health. If you notice subtle changes in your feline friend, it could be a sign that their nutrition isn’t meeting their needs. Here are the top 5 signs your cat may need a nutritional upgrade—and how Schesir’s natural, complete diet can help.

1. Is Your Cat’s Coat Dull or Falling Out Excessively?

A shiny, soft coat is a strong indicator of good nutrition. Cats lacking essential proteins, fats, and vitamins often show:

  • Dull, brittle fur
  • Excessive shedding
  • Patches of hair loss

Why it matters: Protein and omega fatty acids are vital for healthy skin and fur. Schesir’s complete wet food provides high-quality protein and natural fats that mimic the nutrients in a cat’s prey diet, helping restore shine and reduce shedding.

2. Does Your Cat Lack Energy or Playfulness?

Low energy or reduced playfulness may indicate dietary deficiencies. Cats need:

  • Adequate high-quality protein for muscle maintenance
  • Essential amino acids for metabolism
  • Balanced fats for energy

Schesir solution: With high protein and fat content in line with a prey-based diet, Schesir foods fuel cats naturally, supporting alertness, activity, and overall vitality.

3. Are Digestion Issues a Concern?

Constipation, diarrhea, or frequent vomiting often point to a diet that doesn’t support healthy digestion. Signs include:

  • Hard or irregular stools
  • Gas or bloating
  • Occasional vomiting

Why nutrition helps: Schesir wet food uses minimally processed, natural ingredients and includes prebiotic fibers to aid digestion, promote nutrient absorption, and maintain a healthy gut microbiome.

4. Is Your Cat Drinking Less Than Normal?

Cats naturally have a low thirst drive, so hydration often comes from their food. Watch for:

  • Less urine output
  • Concentrated urine
  • Signs of dehydration like dry gums or lethargy

How Schesir helps: High moisture content in Schesir wet food keeps cats hydrated naturally, supporting kidney function and urinary health.

5. Is Your Cat Picky About Food or Loses Appetite?

A sudden drop in appetite or picky eating may indicate nutritional gaps. Cats thrive on:

  • Variety in flavors and textures
  • Complete, balanced nutrients for all life stages

Schesir advantage: With a range of natural fillets, patés, and mousses, Schesir encourages appetite and ensures every meal delivers complete nutrition.
