This food has changed my rescue cat's life
My 2 year old rescue cat Rafael needs twice daily myotonine to urinate, after his tail was degloved and surgically amputated as a 4 month kitten. This medication caused Rafael some faecal incontinence, manifesting as smudging & spotting of wet faeces.
I ordered Concept for Life Gastrointestinal, when the brand I gave Rafael was unavailable. It has been a life-changer. Rafael now consistently has normal faeces, with no dripping or smudging. I can't recommend this food enough.

Not for my cat
This food looks like raw mince meat with potato chunks so not for those who may not like that visual.
I tried my cat on this food and she didn’t like it at all. My other cat liked it but she isn’t the one with the kidney issues but it is obviously one of those foods that some like and some don’t.

Just not for us
I bought the big pack of 24 as it was a good price, I still do think its a good price to say its hypoallergenic food. Unfortunately, my boy with IBS just didn't like it, at all. He would sniff if and instantly walk away, he's not usually a fussy cat so I was quite disappointed. I used 2 tins trying to tempt him by heating it slightly, adding a bit of water so it was more like a gravy etc. He would still walk away. Thankfully we have a local rescue in our area so we donated the remaining 22 tins

Cats would not touch
Disappointed with this product. Neither of my cats will eat it, smells awful, and they usually love salmon food.

My not so fussy cat sniffs the bowl and walks away.
Bulk bought this as my usual order was out of stock... now I have loads of food that will not be touched! Only way to get her to eat it is it mix with other normal food, which defeats the object of having special food.

Good quality
I have been looking forever for a kidney food that isn't full of rubbish. This stuff looks good, doesn't smell too strong, and my cat with kidney issues took to it immediately (I mixed it with normal food at the start). I am very happy, although I would like to see other flavours, because my cat is used to variety when it comes to food.

Needs mashing
Tried this last year but nobody would touch it. Gave up until renal parameters got worse. Tried again, but mashed it up to blend the potato chunks.... Goes down a treat.
Love quality meat content, wish there weren't potatoes in it (cats are carnivores????)

Good substitute post-Brexit
Since Brexit, Zooplus have stopped stocking my cat’s preferred the brand of urinary food, but he seems ok with this and it is quite similar texture and ingredients. So far, so good - he has dry skin and other brands make it worse but this one seems OK.

Back for more - cat loves it
I had to buy this last time because her previous favourite brand was out of stock. However she seems to love this even more (in fact, every time I open the fridge she's there at the food bowl looking hopeful).

Grey and inedible
My cat who will eat anything she can get to (poppadoms, bird seed...) won’t touch this. It’s not completely surprising - the grey mush looks totally unappetising :(

God send....
Have a cat who is pushing 20 years old and who has suffered from keep food down and passing it through other end for quite a while. The switch to these specialist foods have had an amazing impact on his health and his bowel movements. The change was immediate too.

So far, so good! My cat doesn't have to be tricked to eat it
In brief, my cat Bwdi loves this stuff. With other gastro foods I've tried, I usually have to disguise it in chunks of cheap tinned stuff (my Mainecoon will even eat up the leftovers when Bwdi isn't watching).
Bwdi is 20, she has problems absorbing food. As a result she couldn't pass poops easily.

Very good food
At the ripe old age of 16, our cats started developing digestive sensitivities. Almost every food, especially dry food, came straight back out. Several times a day became the new normal. The vet recommended Gastro Intestinal, because everything else was in order. And what can I say, after trying several different brands, this is one of the best by far.
No more vomiting, great acceptance. Lots of meat in the recipe.

Fussiest ever cat approves
I have possibly the fussiest ever renal cat! I've literally tried EVERY renal wet food in Europe and only succeeded until now in finding one he'd lick the gravy off of! It was expensive to just consume gravy from! I continue to seek out new renal foods available and just found this one. OMG he likes it!! I agree with other reviews that it does have a fair amount of jelly and fat in it but it just makes it like a terrine. He actually refused his old gravy food this morning in favour of this!

Great stuff
My cat is delighted with this new food. It doesn't look very appealing but I'm not the one eating it and my cat doesn't seem to mind !!!

No more vomit or diarrhea
Bought this for my cat who was having daily diarrhea and vomiting up to four times a day, he also has digestion problems. The food has completely stopped the vomiting and he now has normal stools everyday. He loves it too so none gets wasted.

Great food for my toothless cat!
My cat loves this food, there is quite a lot of fat but it makes a kind of sauce that the cat really likes. He has become quite fussy about food since having kidney disease but can eat this easily and obviously enjoys it.

Cat loves this new brand
The prescription urinary products my cat HAS to have are seemingly not palatable to him. Concept for Life has turned out to be the best he's had.....clean bowl every day!

Worked well for my cat
My cat has kidney disease and is also on thyroid medication. She is a rescue cat , adopted with these issues and has always been a fussy eater so I have to regularly change her food. My cat has enjoyed this food. She is an older cat with poor teeth and the texture is really good for her. I agree with the last reviewer in that you can see some pieces of congealed fat but I think this has helped my cat. It makes the food more tasty for her and she needs some additional energy in her food.
