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 of Schesir cat food
Ilya : “It seems to me that Shezir can be given not only to cats, because this food smells so much and looks so appetizing that I wouldn’t mind trying it myself with bread for dinner! But I will be objective. Before the first purchase, I carefully studied the composition and found nothing harmful. I’m glad that it’s sold on every corner and you don’t have to rack your brains and worry when you run out of food at home. Among the shortcomings, I note the high price. But since this is the only negative for me, I prefer not to notice it.”
Gennady : “The Thais are great, they make good food. Most feed manufacturers put processed meat in cans, but Shezir, on the contrary, uses unprocessed meat. No corn - that's good, the cat won't get sick. In general, the composition of Shezir is quite simple, there are few ingredients, this is really rare nowadays and the cat likes it. He likes it so much that he eats every last bite. He also licks the jelly.”
Irina : “I started buying Schesir from the moment a kitten appeared in the house. I took him quite thin, the bones were sticking out, and now he is a well-fed little bar on his paws. My personal impressions are that the food is very aromatic, my mouth waters when I open a new jar. And delicious. Honestly. This is not a kitten's opinion, but my own, because I tried it.
Another pleasant thing is that the kitten’s eyes have stopped leaking, which means that Schesir has boosted and strengthened his immunity.”
