Helps
My experience with Hill's kidney and bladder wet foods is, you got to mesh the pieces with fork, thus the chunks and gravy mixe better and it will be all eaten by your cat. The bladder s/d saved our stud's life, cleared the uroliths even I only gave one pouch from that a day made a difference.
Great
I have tried 4 different brands and this is the only kidney care food my cat will eat. I have to mash it a little otherwise she will just lick off the gravy but once mashed eats it all.

Refused to eat
My cat wouldn't entertain this at all, + i offered it to my other cats, no e of them would touch it either, + 2 of them will usually eat anything. Sorry but I won't be buying this again

Licked by unliked
Having recently been diagnosed with kidney disease, my cat has spent the last month testing different options.
Hill's seem to provide the most expensive prescription wet food diet for cats with kidney disease but it's simply not appreciated by my cat. He'll lick all the gravy and leave all the chunks. According to other reviews, this does not seem to be uncommon. Interestingly, my cat favours the wet food from the cheapest provider of food for cats with kidney disease (Purina).

He just licks the jelly off
I'm sure wet the food is great, but my boy just seems to lick the jelly off it and leave the meat. I wish they did a variety pack to try the other flavours.
He seems to love the dry food in the range though.

this works!
Both my ageing cats have over-active thyroid and kidney issues. Recent blood tests show that kidney problem is well under control, thanks to this food - which they like!

My cat says yes!
My 17.5 year old female has been diagnosed with early stage renal failure so it was suggested by the vet that I move her over to a renal diet.
I tried lots of different brands and this is the best in her opinion. The salmon flavour goes down a treat!
I do mush the chunks up a bit in the sachet before opening as they are rather big and her eating a whole sachet didn't happen overnight, it was a process that took a week or so, as she had to get used to the new diet. Well worth it though.

Service was fine but the actual product...
I was advised to buy this product from my vets, encouraged it would be better for my cat's diet...The sad fact of the matter is my cat despises this product and to add insult to injury the smell of this cat food is so strong and overpowering in the most unpleasant way. It's very upsetting paying so much for cat food for your cat to avoid it. I wish my nostrils could have avoided it too honestly.
Only renal food my cat will eat
I tried all the wet food on the market and this is the only brand my lovely cat will eat!
My cat likes the chicken.
I’ve had to use this diet now my beloved cat has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.
Not good for my cat
Unfortunately my cat will not eat this, she licks the gravy and won’t touch the meat, I will have to give what’s left away!

Not a hit!
After a worrying blood test result and on the Vet’s advice, I tried Kidney Care mixed in with Tink’s usual tuna hoping I could transition her over to KC eventually.
Tink licked the gravy off and left everything else. Left with a bowl full of lumps (all of her regular Tuna had been eaten). Not a hit, I’m afraid but then again, she has always been a fussy girl!
Wish there was a Tuna version. Might have more chance of success with that. The Kidney Care biscuits seem to be going down better though

Diarrhea
Since my cat started to have this food, she has diarrhea.
Contains sugar!
Sugar is high on the ingredients list. For obvious reasons we do not eat every meal with a high proportion of sugar, so why should our cats. We have had one cat with diabetes and want to avoid this horrible disease.
My cat loves this food!
My cat stopped eating the meat of other brands and only licked the juice! He had lost lots of weight and I was so worried we were going to lose him! We gave Hills a go in a last hope of him liking it and he did!! I’ve not seen him eat his food so fast and asks for more! It’s made us so happy to have found a brand he likes and will eat all of it and not just lick the juice off like he did with all other brands! Well done Hills you have made my cat happy again xx

Unpalatable
My cat would'nt eat it..
Must be pretty special
Salmon flavour is rocking their world, can’t get enough. They tried chicken a few years ago and didn’t really care for it.

hills kd pouches and tinned
In all the years I have had cats with CKD, I have yet to find one that would eat this food. Hills could at least try and make it palatable. How can you try and help a cat with this awful disease if they are unlikely to eat it

Waste of Money
Sniffed it and walked away ......................
Unfortunate waste of money for me
If your cat likes dry food, this may be a good wet food alternative. If your cat likes wet food, I doubt this is the one. My cat absolutely hates this. He'll lick the minimal "Gravy" off and then leave all of the food. The chunks are relatively large (1.5cm-ish) and mushing them down releases a scent that is decidedly un-meaty (smells a bit like old cereal!). Adding water doesn't help.

The only kidney food that works!
My tomcat can't tolerate "normal" food anymore after poisoning led to kidney insufficiency. Of all the kidney wet foods we've tried, he only accepts Hills k/d and k/d + mobility. He actually licks/eats them straight from the pouch, which I squeeze out for him in portions, and then he eats the bits that fall onto the plate. That's our current feeding ritual – and it's helped him gain weight again, going from 1 to 3 pouches a day. The product does contain sugar though...

Very good
I used to give my cat Royal Canin pouches for his kidney problems. He wasn’t really a fan and often didn’t finish them. I switched to this brand and now my cat seems to love it—he finishes his portion in 5 minutes and there’s no more waste.

Good!
My cats dislike all the wet foods for kidneys out there, but they actually ate this one. It might just be a one-off, but you’re always happy for any kind they’ll eat.

Great deal
Unfortunately, my cat, who isn't feeling well right now, didn't like it. And because of his condition, I don't have much choice.

Doesn't taste good
The cat ate 1.5 sachets and then stopped eating. Now he just licks the sauce and that's it.

quality depends on the place of production
Once again, I've realised that depending on the source, the same pet food can be completely different. Unfortunately, the version available on zooplus is very disappointing this time, especially compared to the contents of identical pouches from other suppliers in Poland. Grey, hard and unappetising pieces...

Delicious
The acceptance is high. All the cats eat it, even though only one of them was supposed to because of kidney problems. Also suitable for hypoallergenic diets. One cat had a food allergy. Sadly, that cat is no longer with us, but its companions eat it with great pleasure.

mediocre
Bought this on my vet’s recommendation, but she already warned me in advance that few cats actually like these kibbles. I gave it a try, but unfortunately my cat only ate two pieces and now I can give away the (expensive) bag.

poor value for money
My cat doesn’t like it, the pieces are big and dry. And it’s quite expensive, nothing like the RC ones.
