She won’t eat it
Catelyn won’t eat it she’s just not keen!! I will keep trying as it’s very important.

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 Dorothy has imflamatry bowl desease to all
To all who feed zd to your cat's.. My Dorothy was on steroids and antibiotics and eating this wonderful food.. After worrying about the medication she was on i decided to try her with Dorwest Herbal remedy called Tree Barks Powder. It's incredible, you mix a little in the wet food 5 ml into zd wet food.. Dorothy has been off all meds for two years... PLEASE TRY..
Has been out of stock for ages
Brexit affecting the supply chain?
I've been waiting to reorder this for a couple of months. I can't find this product anywhere. I've had to switch to other hypoallergenic food but I'm nervous my cat will get sick again.
Tollerated
I have 2 cats, brothers with tummy issues. 1 is on vet specific variety food but is allowed this as a change. They will eat it but it's more of a change in flavour, emergency back up.if he goes off the salmon flavoured food.

It works
My cat has come to me on this food he likes it. How ever we have had a bad batch but Zooplus have been great sorted it all out and withdrew the batch from sale. I also read the other comment about a little splash of water, he now eats it all really well. He still has to have steroids but I just mix them with the food. Happy cat and happy me 🙂

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 tins 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 hardly has any smell. The texture is like pâté, but it’s hard and jelly-like, almost like some typical chemical stuff. I don’t know 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.

The only one that works
This is the only wet food after which my older cat with stomach issues doesn't get diarrhoea. A small downside is the very thick, pâté-like texture, which might not suit all cats – for mine, I have to mix the food with water, and only then does she eat it willingly. As a veterinary food, it's really quite good.

Due to stool problems
We tried several different foods for loose, bloody stools caused by poor gut flora, but only this one worked. There was a noticeable improvement even in the first few months, and after three months, digestion was completely restored and the quality of the stool was good.

Wasted money
My cat didn't like it and now I have 23 little tins to throw away. I tried introducing it gradually, mixing just a little with her favourite tin, but not even that worked.

It's not the consistency that's the problem, it's the user
I can't understand the complaints about the consistency. When it comes to food for medical use, you should really take the time to get informed. The manufacturer gives loads of great tips on how to quickly change the consistency to suit nearly any preference—whether you want chunks with gravy or a mousse. It's all possible, you just have to read up. My cat wouldn't touch it as it was either, but just a tiny splash of lukewarm water turns it into a lovely paste that she's been loving for 8 weeks now. And it's helping her.

Tastes really good
Funny thing. This food is actually like a mousse. Neither of my cats has ever liked mousse-type food before. But now, surprise! Both cats are eating this food really well. I add a little bit of water to it. Even though this food is more expensive than what I used to buy, there’s no waste like before. They also eat the same brand’s z/d kibble. Most importantly, my cats are doing better!

Wet food
It’s been very well received and has helped to reduce the amount of medication needed.

Poor tomcat
I don't know if it actually helps. Unfortunately, the consistency is awful... It's a sticky and smelly mass. As soon as you open it, it immediately turns dark brown. I feel sorry for my tomcat. Other cats get treats, he can smell them but isn't allowed... Why can't this be improved somehow? Or at least offer smaller packs... For the price, you'd expect a bit more thought to go into it... Yet he eats the kibble just fine, that's OK.

Perfect!
Our vet recommended it for our 14-year-old cat who has intestinal problems. As soon as we switched, she stopped having bloody stools.
About the size, it's true that it's a big can, but what I do is blend it with a bit of (mineral) water until it's softer and more liquid, then I divide it into two small jars, cover the mouths with cling film and then put the lids on. One goes in the fridge and the other in the freezer. This way, it doesn't oxidise!

Much appreciated
I started giving this wet food to my 10-year-old cat after we had serious intestinal problems caused by an allergy to who knows what. Combined with cortisone, the diarrhoea and vomiting disappeared quickly. My cat really likes it, and even the other cat, who could eat regular food, enjoys it too.

My cat loves it
Mix it with a bit of warm water and every last bit gets eaten, after which the food bowl gets licked clean twice over.
My cat has an allergy, was almost bald and now has a beautiful coat again.

The best for Della, a kitten with allergies. She eats it really well, loves it, and it works!

Very good
You need to mix the food with a bit of water to make a "mash". Hill's also mentions this for those who don't know. Even if some cats don't want to touch it at first, you have to persevere. Once the sick cat starts eating it, you quickly notice that it feels better. Of course, this doesn't cure the cat, but the intervals between vomiting or diarrhoea episodes become much longer, so the cats get a bit more quality of life again.

Cans are too big
If you only have one cat that needs this food, the tins are way too big and, on top of that, by the next day the food has already changed colour, the texture is different and my cat doesn’t like it anymore. Maybe smaller tins would be the solution.
I’d buy more if I didn’t have to throw half of it away…

This isn’t exactly the tastiest treat
My cat has a serious chronic intestinal inflammation and can’t eat any other brand anymore. Luckily, she accepts this food even though it’s not her absolute favourite. I’m still glad that she’ll eat this, since there are no other options left.

Ideal for chronic illnesses
I chose this variety for my Persian cat who had pancreatitis and, at 13 years old, has a chronic illness with inflammatory episodes.
He miraculously gained weight again thanks to these tins that I gave him. Even though they're not very appetising, they work 🙏

Good hypoallergenic wet food
My cat loves it. I add a little bit of water and mash it up with a fork.
