Fussy Cats

I originally purchased this food to try and get my 3 fussy cats to eat something different . They would occasionally eat small amounts but since the formula change I am having to buy larger bags , my fussiest cat now loves it .

My 12 cats love it.

All of our 12 cats love this food. I was worried when they changed it & tried other brands too, but they chose this one. Now have on repeat order.

Cats loved the old saviour version, won't even go near this one. Had to give last bag brought away.

Delicious!

My cat just loves these, but as a treat only. They do not contain taurine so they are purely given as a treat.

Fussy cats

I have 2 fussy cats and was reluctant to order this food after the negative reviews but honestly they love it just as much as the old one.

Pets current favourite cat biscuits

Just stocked up on these as they are probably my cats current favourite biscuits, but knowing them they will go off them eventually, so currently also adding the Royal Canin hairball care biscuits for a bit of variety. They always get eaten up which is a big plus with fussy cats.

Obviously divides opinion...

15 year old Flori was not keen on much. I was getting quite worried. The one star reviews were worrying. However, she is loving Fussy. So...you pays your money...

Fussy cat says no

My cat used to like the Aroma and Flavour Exigent biscuits, but she won’t eat these, so I’m now having to try to find something new.

I’ve been buying the flavour / aroma exigent for years, now replaced with the fussy version. They hate it! I won’t buy this again.

Fussy cat likes

I had tried the protein version before it was amalgated into this fussy version, and my very fussy cat liked it. I was worried about all the negative reviews after this recipe reformulation but thankfully my cat still loves this version and polished off a big bowl :)

Fussy

My cat who does not eat biscuits seems to have a go at eating this, so it can’t be all bad.

Strange stuff

We usually buy sensible 33 from zooplus but our order was delayed so I had to pick up some food locally and fussy was all they had. Well to my shock, my cat who usually picks at food and is very skinny gobbled it up very fast so I returned my large order of sensible to zooplus and swapped it for fussy but my cat won’t touch it. I’ve tried several bags but she would rather starve. Bought it again from the local shop and she loves it. Something very strange going on!

Unhappy cats

For many years, my 5 cats have enjoyed Exigent Savour and have thrived on it. We were given a free sample of Fussy Cat at a show and even my Oriental, who normally eats any new food, did not want to know this one. I bought a small bag to try on the rest and when I mixed it with Exigent, they picked out the Exigent and left most of the rest. I am now having to try different foods to find something that they will eat.

Zero stars if I could - do not buy this new version

My cat used to hoover this up. Since they've changed it she won't even touch it. Big shock, big waste of money. What on earth have they done to make it so awful? Trying to see if I can get my money back! Struggling to find alternatives.

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

Perfect

They both really like it. There used to be another one that was discontinued and merged into this one. The little guy is picky – tried different ones, but he likes this one. The sister eats anything.

Good kitten.

Hi, I have a British cat. He stays in the yard and eats all sorts of things, so when he had a sensitive stomach I used to buy him Royal Canin Savour Exigent, which he really enjoyed. This new product wasn't well received, he doesn't eat it with pleasure.

Good

If your cat is picky, you can give these kibbles without a second thought because my kitty just can't resist them.

Doesn't like it

They used to eat Exigent really well, but now that they've changed the formula, they won't touch it. It's been a real pain for me because now I have to buy loads of different foods to see which one they'll eat. Very disappointing, Royal Canin.

Good food, but a bit pricey

My mixed-breed, stray cats are quite picky. We used to buy them Hair and Skin from Royal Canin, but they stopped eating it with pleasure, so I got them this Fuzzy variety, which from what I understand is a new formula for fussy cats. The cats liked it, they ate the 10+2 kg bag well. The food looks good, the kibbles are the right size, and there’s no weird smell. Unfortunately, the price for this brand has gone up—a lot, I’d say—which means I can’t always buy it as often as I’d like.

Abyssinian

Everyone's making pointless comments, I mean those who give low ratings! As you can see from the packaging, this is food specifically for Abyssinian cats! That's why I'm stepping in with this comment to assure you that it's a balanced and successful formula for the two Abyssinian cats I have! I'm very satisfied with this formula and my cats love it! They don't need to eat until they burst (the packaging shows the portion for an Abyssinian cat over 24 hours, so you don't need to...

No one likes it

Not even the old one (15 years), who's become very picky, nor the young one (1 year), who usually likes a bit of everything, want any of it. Total fail. Really disappointed.

Miss the previous varieties Aroma and Savour!

My cats loved the previous ones; Exigent Aroma and Exigent Savour. Unfortunately, the new Fussy is a disappointment for all of us. We’re dreaming that the old favourites will make a comeback!!

The granules don't taste good after the change anymore.

Our cat used to eat only meat and we were constantly searching for kibble she would actually eat. Then we discovered RC Savour Exigent and we were thrilled that we no longer needed to keep the freezer stuffed with meat. However, after switching to Fussy, the bowl is full again. What a shame...

Disappointing

I thought there was something wrong with my cat because she refused to eat, but after reading other reviews I see the problem is actually the recipe...

Unfortunately not for picky cats

For years, my cat ate Savor and Aroma with great enthusiasm and had no problems! But she consistently refuses this 3-flavour mix! I won't be recommending it!

Excellent Crunchies for Fussy Kittens!!

From the very start, my cat loved these Royal Canin Fussy Exigent kibbles—he really enjoyed eating them, and he usually eats slowly. They're perfect for his dietary needs and growth, so I keep buying them. The price matches the quality, and I love the packaging: it's clear, compact, and keeps the product fresh. I recommend them to anyone who, like me, has a fussy kitten who can be picky at mealtimes. Zooplus provides excellent packaging too.

Picky Demanding

My cats used to eat the old version of Exigent with pleasure. They don’t want to eat this new formula at all. Why did they have to change something that had worked for years?
