Not all cats are the same
Well, despite what everyone else is saying our cats, all 7 of them, love these.

Unfortunately not the same
I have 3 cats, and non of them ate any, they were trying to bury it!!
Had to get them a different brand of dry food to not starve!
What a shame, I’ve been purchasing this food exclusively for a long time, and it is now time to change. What a waste of money and trust

What a disaster!
All my cats and ferrets ate savour exigent, now they hate the new fussy replacement. I am trying different good brands to see if I can get them back to dry. What a nightmare. Thankfully, they were also on as good as it looks wet food it will have to do til I get something they all like again!.
Price was getting rediculous anyway, so maybe it was time for a change

Ruined
My spoilt exotic Caligula loved Savour Exigent, he ate it for 9 years, since he was a kitten, but he is really not that interested the new formulation.
Bring back the old flavour, what a waste of money.

Awful
My cats loved both the Savour & Aroma varieties of this dry food, but neither of them will eat this new replacement version. It looks and smells different and clearly tastes very different as my cats won’t touch it.

Not Worth Buying
The change from Savour exigent is a disaster. You claim it’s the same recipe just a name change. Tell my cats, they wont touch the stuff. Not only that the open bag stinks whereas the Savour exigent didn’t. So not only have you changed the recipe and increased the price you lied to the customer and I’m looking at other suppliers after 25 years feeding the boys royal canin.
Well done.

Disappointing
My cats used to love the Savour
cat biscuits, such a shame Royal
Canin have changed the formula.
They are not at all interested in
Fussy Cat!!
Please bring back the original Savour
cat biscuits!

cats are disgusted with this new version
My two fussy cats always enjoyed savour, aroma and protein exigent from royal canin, but this new kibble, so called a mix of the 3 others, is sniffed at, looked at with disgust and they try to bury it, and then look at me as they want to say " what the hell is this" . My cats and I are absolutely not pleased with this change, and it is a waste of food and money. I will not order this again and hopefully I will find a replacement soon.

New product not liked
My cat always loved aroma & savour which has now been replaced with fussy. She hates it won’t go near it . Having to find another make . Big mistake changing a winning formula.

Three types now one and less satisfying
Don't know why they now offer one type which is not as good as the original one, the savour one.

New recipe is no good
My cat loved Savour Exigent but won't eat the new formulation. Ended up feeding it to the hedgehogs before their hibernation. Ridiculously expensive for something that does not deliver it's promise

A dreadful replacement for Savour Exigent
My cat is a fussy eater. He enjoyed Savour Exigent which has been replaced by Fussy. It looks different, it smells different, it costs a massive 20% more and he will not eat it! He would rather go hungry. What sort of a replacement is that? A disgrace. Look at all the one-star reviews. We need the old brands back.

Name change, kibble change, cats not keen
Savour Exigent was wonderful - the one food my fussy cats would eat with relish. Since the name and kibble change they really can’t be bothered with it. I will still buy FE until I can find a replacement but I have to mix it in with other dry food otherwise they just walk away. Surmising the change isn’t an improvement in quality and taste.
