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!

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.

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 really smooth texture, so it’s easy to mix with a bit of warm water. My 13-year-old cat took to it straight away. I picked this product to help with his belly barbering, and we also give him the dry food version. His barbering hasn’t changed yet, so I can’t say if the diet is making a difference there. I’m giving it four stars because it’s a bit pricey.

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 consistency
Unbelievable how expensive and yet useless this is. My cat had trouble getting the food down. It's a sticky mess, nothing like shown in the pictures. Even when I mixed it with water, it didn't help—such a shame.

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 since I have two cats who love to eat and they wouldn’t even go near it. I’ll have to return everything.
And the order took an awfully 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 delivers great results. I've been buying it for years. Even the cats who don't like it at first, with persistence—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 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.
