I initially avoided this because of bad reviews, but my cat loves it.

My 10 year old male Siamese adores this food. He has a very sensitive stomach and is very choosy about his food, making it extremely difficult to find something that he likes. I bought this product for the first time recently and it is a great success.

Having tried the main renal brands Hills and Purina (without success) our poorly kitty was refusing all food. That was when we found this. It resembles a wet pate but unlike other renal foods it actually smells edible! Our cat loves the beef flavour and is eating again! I can't recommend this enough. Renal kitties dont have much appetite for anything so it's definitely worth trying this,

My 18 year old fussy eater did not like this pate. He is not a big fun of pate in a first place, but he is eating some pates of different manufacturers. This was a firm "no" from him.

Older cats lose interest faster with food and with play. My cat used to be all about pate. Not any more. With this particular food my cat likes it cut in small chunks, and not too many on plate. :-) There are some grizzly bits in it just get rid of those. Sometimes to get her interested I add couple pieces of dry food. Variety is the key at this point.

Our extremely fussy 7 year old Ragdoll so far seems to chomping this down - we’ve tried Royal Canin, Kattovit and Purina Pro plan and he’s turned his nose up at it all. He has a protein losing nephropathy and has lost so much weight, so was desperate to get some calories into him. Shame there’s only chicken flavour!

It has been very difficult finding something my old cat likes. She is 20-years old with kidney problems.. I've sometimes spent hours getting her to eat little bits of other foods but this one she eats all straight off

The older cat who is on a renal diet often doesn't eat all of a renal food... This one she didn't even lick, one sniff and gone. The other cat, who is a walking dustbin and eats pretty much everything wouldn't touch it either.

Don't buy this. Overpriced garbage. Cat i bought it for barely touched it; so as an experiment i tried it on my two others, and two neighbour cats - Nobody liked it !!! That's five cats that thought it was inedible. Looks nasty too.

The texture might not look particularly appealing to humans, but this is the only food my cat is consistently eating at the moment (mixed with a pouch of Cosma chicken & pumpkin soup and phosphorus binder). She's gone off (and occasionally back on) pretty much every food I've tried, bar this one.

I have four cats and not one would even consider it. Must be vile. Texture is a grainy pate.

This is the ONLY renal food that my cat will eat and believe me I have tried them all.

Packaging looks good BUT I am not in the habit of sampling cat products. Bother my cats, one lick and make a face and walk away! Tried them more than once,they will not eat it! Put it out for wildlife in garden they did not eat it either, it ended up in compost. Sorry! How do you test it for taste?

I have tried every other brand of renal food, my Burmese would not touch any of them Had been reduced to feeding her Porta21holistic tuna & chicken. Only one brand & 1 flavour with low phosphorous. I still have a few tins of that & am mixing this very slowly to introduce. She is at 50/50 & so far not turned her nose up. You have to transition cats very slowly to a change of diet - this is also a change of texture & I can tell she isn't sure completely by the look on her face when eating.

My very fussy renal 20 year old cat loved it!!

Disgusting quality. Cat wouldn’t eat. Don’t buy. Choose integra or Royal Canin loaf pate instead.

Horrible product that looked full of grisly innards. In no way comparable to Royal Canin, Integra or Beaphar quality. Don't buy.

As this had no reviews,I thought I would be the first & went ahead & purchased this for my 17 1/2 yr old cat,on opening,first impressions were nice fresh smell,texture is similar to the Beaphar renal pate,but the quality is far better,din't find any gristly or hard lumpy bits,which I would normally fish out & bin. My cat was impressed too! he ate it all up & believe me he is fussy,he only likes pate type foods.so a win,win.
