SHELMA Brand

Shelma is a Czech super-premium cat food brand that we sell and recommend at zvireci-potreby.cz to owners looking for food with a high meat content, a clean, natural composition and no cereals. The brand's philosophy rests on a simple truth — a cat is a predator by nature, and predators eat meat. That's why every Shelma recipe is built on fresh meat as the first ingredient, with no cereals, soya, added sugar or artificial additives. The food is vet-approved and enriched with superfoods to naturally support immunity and vitality.

History and origins of the Shelma brand

Shelma was created in the Czech Republic by the company Partner in Pet Food CZ s.r.o. in response to growing demand from cat owners for food with a transparent composition, a high meat content and no unnecessary chemicals. The brand is built on a clear principle — while most manufacturers bulk out their food with cheap cereals or soya, Shelma leaves these ingredients out entirely, replacing them with fresh meat, vegetables and superfoods. The recipes are developed in cooperation with vets and regularly tested to meet strict requirements for nutritional value and safety. In a relatively short time, Shelma has built up a loyal customer base thanks to its great palatability, verifiably high-quality composition and affordable pricing within the super-premium category.

What makes Shelma food different from the rest?

Shelma kibble contains 60% meat and animal-derived products, of which 25% is fresh meat that has never been frozen — keeping its natural aroma, meaty juices and nutritional value intact. A full 72% of the protein comes from animal sources. The recipes are entirely free from cereals and soya; potatoes and peas, which have low allergenic potential and are easy to digest, are used as the source of carbohydrates. The food is enriched with superfoods — spirulina and sea buckthorn as natural sources of antioxidants to support immunity, cranberries for urinary tract health, and herbs such as rosemary, thyme and parsley. The kibble also contains taurine for healthy heart and eye function, Yucca schidigera to naturally reduce stool odour, salmon oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids for a healthy coat, and a crunchy texture that helps naturally clean teeth and reduce tartar build-up. The food contains no added sugar, artificial flavourings, preservatives or colourings.
