Hills Z/D wet food
My cat likes this food, it is a thick past and has to have warm water added to make it softer for her to lick the bowlmclean

My cat loves it
My cat loves it! I bought it because she has sensitive stomach and since she eats this food - i have no more problems with her. She also loves dry one which she gets from time to time

Waste of money and vile
I don't normally write reviews, but when you buy 24 cans for almost £50 for a cat with special dietary needs, only for him to turn his nose up and almost gag yourself at the stench coming out of the tin, it says something. I even added warm water to try and make it more appealing, and when that didn't work, I tried to add Purina Forti Flora to it, as he loves the powder mixed in. Neither thing worked. Abhorrent from Hill's.

Very expensive mistake
My vet recommended this and I ordered immediately - but could only order 24 cans at nearly £50 - I opened the tin and nearly vomited myself, it stinks and is an awful consistency like clay! The cats took one look at it and immediately refused to eat! I now have 19 tins going to waste!

Turns dark / black 10mins after opening
My cat used to love these tins as I’ve bought them for many years and the meat always stayed a lovely light brown colour even once opened
Now the meat turns very dark/black after a very short time of being opened and then my cat won’t eat the tins.
There’s clearly something wrong with how they’re making this product as it never used to do this and it’s not oxidising as the whole tin right the way through is black so quickly
My cat loves it!
After my cat put on special diet for the rest of his life, I chose this option. The consistency is quite thick and I add water in it alongside the meds. My cat eats it without a problem.

Very good food
My sphinx cat has had tummy trouble for most of his little life- he is 9 months old now. This product was recommended. I have noticed alot of difference with his poo's . I would recommend putting a bit of water mixed with it or adding it to another feed- Royal Canin Gas is a good one to mix with it

An expensive mistake
I bought a 24 can pack as this was one of three products recommended for me to try for a small, ageing cat needing a hypoallergenic diet for the remainder of her life.
An expensive mistake because she would go without and become distressed rather than try to eat this.
I wonder if the pâté-like consistency of the product is just off-putting for some cats.
Others must love it but we are having much more success with the Royal Canin Sensitivity Control Chicken with Rice in Gravy product.
So glad this exists
Solved our gastric issues, as others mention, add water 👍🏻

Mash with hot water
Our two cats (age 14 yrs) have vomited their entire lives, vet has tried everything. Now on this and hypoallergenic kibble, much better. BUT it does need to be mashed with a little hot water to get a better consistency and smell to make it attractive to them.

Recommended by vet
But what the vet didn't tell me, was to mix a small portion of this with his ordinary food, and slowly increase the amount. Now he eats 90% ZD and 10% his former food. Let's just say his bowels have improved 100%

My (very un fussy) cat wouldn’t touch it
My cat is on a special diet, partly because, as a former street cat, she will eat anything and everything and it’s affected her stomach, and yet she will not eat this.
The biscuits are fine but each tin I opened of this all went down the loo after days of stand offs between me and my cat!
It’s an enormous shame that this is the only wet food offered for this diet plan.
I liked that it was in a tin as it’s better for recycling. But only if your cat eats it.
Heinous
My cat, who will eat anything, would not touch this. We were advised to try her on it for her gastrointestinal problems but she hated it and was miserable for the week that we tried her on it. It looks pretty grim but maybe it might help your cat... if they will eat it.

ZD recommended by Vet
This food is the only type my cat can eat, she has Cat IBS. Always left previous food, forever throwing it away. Now she eats it all, also my other cat does too, both love it. Yes it's a bit stodgy looking, needs a spoonful water & mashed up well, but it all goes, no waste. Expensive, but worth it to have a healthy cat. Plus I don't have to waste money on other food or biscuits now that get thrown away.

Yucky!
An expensive waste - So sticky and yucky. My cat is very greedy and eats anything - but she would not touch this! It does not resemble an appealing cat food at all. I tried mixing it with water to make it less sticky but ended up giving it all away to a cat rescue place - let's see if they eat it there!

The only wet food that my Ragdoll can eat
This food has been amazing for my Ragdoll with a sensitive tummy! He no longer has the runs which was super gross, especially when he gets it stuck on his furr!

Horrible texture but can be made palatable
My cat hates the texture but this is the only wet food he can eat as he is allergic to everything else. Cutting up the pate or mashing it, and adding some war water helps, and he is glad to have it then.
Need to put in a little effort to make it palatable
This is the only wet food my cat can eat. He hated it, but I cut it up or mash it, and add warm water. He is happy to eat it then. He's an old cat with long fangs, and that may be why he struggles to eat pate. It also sticks to his palate, so the water helps.

Saved my cat's life!
My cat has severe inflammatory bowel disease that's triggered by allergies to proteins. This food has saved her life! The consistency is a bit strange, but when mashed into a bit of warm water to form a paste, my cat laps it up enthusiastically!

My cat loves it
My usually picky cat loves it. Even though I think it doesn’t look particularly good.

Yes, the wet food is thick but I just add some water to make it smoother and it works perfectly
My cat has to eat this wet food. It was tough at first because it’s so thick she couldn’t manage to eat it. Since I started adding water and mashing it up to make it smoother, everything’s grand—she eats it with gusto now.

wet food
The cats don't want to eat this, probably because of the texture.

Beautiful boxes
My cat has to eat this food and my vet gave me a can to try, and he ate it all. He’s on a hypoallergenic diet...

Looks unappetising but works
Cat with IBD had to switch to a special diet, he wasn't a fan at first, but adding a bit of warm water helps. Now he eats it with gusto, 2 out of the 3 other cats are jealous & most importantly: he's maintaining his weight and his stools are back to normal.

None of my 4 cats will eat this.
It doesn't smell like cat food, but more like rotten vegetables. It also has a weird, slimy texture. Even when mixed with tasty food, the cat who needs it won't eat it, even though she normally eats all kinds of wet food.

Tastes surprisingly good
I personally heat up the fridge-cold chopped pâté for 10 seconds in the microwave, add a tablespoon of water, and mash it into a smooth mush/paste for the cat. The cat really enjoys it and the plate is usually licked clean. I have to feed this food now because the cat has been ill, but as someone else already mentioned, there’s less waste compared to regular wet food.

Doesn't even look like cat food
Cat really doesn't like it, strange substance, almost no smell. The other 2 cats, who it's not meant for, don't care about it either. So order just 1 can first to see if your pet likes it, because now I have 16 cans left and I don't know what to do with them.

Allergy
Our food-sensitive kitty is quite picky, but she accepted this canned food and the matching kibble right away, and she's been happily eating it every day for months. Her symptoms have reduced to a minimum! 😊

My cat likes it and it seems like a healthy product
It has a very smooth texture, making it easy to mix with some warm water. My 13-year-old cat liked it straight away. I chose this product to help with his belly barbering, and we also give him the dry food version. His barbering habits haven't changed yet, so I can't comment on the effect of this diet on that. I give it four stars because of the higher price.

I'm pleasantly surprised
My cats are extremely picky when it comes to wet food. They get cooked turkey—one has a food allergy, the other will even eat raw turkey. On the vet’s advice, I’m gradually mixing in 10 grams at a time with the cooked meat. Both of them actually prefer this canned food. I’m curious to see what happens when there’s no more meat on the plate! The switch is necessary because one of the cats scratched himself so badly he was bleeding and now has to take cortisone. I mix it with a bit of water.

sticky texture
Unbelievable how expensive it is and yet totally useless. My cat had trouble eating the food. It's a sticky mess, nothing like what's shown in the picture. Even when I mixed it with water, it didn't work—such a pity.

My cat hated this hydrolysed food
None of my 4 cats ate this food. They sniffed it, tasted it, and didn’t touch it again. It’s a rather firm pâté with a strong smell, and apparently, the taste isn’t great either—especially considering I have two cats who love to eat and they didn’t even go near it. I’ll have to return everything.
And the order took an extremely long time to arrive.

ZD Hills Paté
I have 4 cats and every day they eat a bit of this pâté. Two of them are hypoallergenic: one has gastric issues and the other has dermatological problems. This food is really good for hypoallergenic cats and gives great results. I've been buying it for years. Even the cats who don't like it at first, with a bit of persistence and feeding it directly, they start to enjoy it. It's just a matter of time, in my experience.

Cats eat
Recommended by the vet, my cats eat it, sometimes I sprinkle the same food but dry or with cheese powder. My allergy-prone cat doesn’t scratch while on it 🙌🏻

Perfect for allergic cats
One of our cats has allergies. At first, she was hesitant to eat the food, but now she really enjoys it and the other one tries to steal it…
Helps with the allergies, recommended by our vet.

Tragedy
Maybe the ingredients in the cans are great and healthy for cats, but it doesn't matter because the cats don't want to eat it. I've tried everything. The food has almost no smell. The texture is like pâté, but it's hard and jelly-like, almost like some typical chemical stuff. I have no idea what I'd have to do to get my cats to eat it.

Excellent
My cat kept licking her belly and legs. She had ended up losing all her fur. With this range, without any medication, she recovered.
