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.

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 He enjoyed Savour Exigent which has been replaced by Fussy.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.

My cats really love this
My oriental girl is so fussy, been trying to find a dry suitable for three cats has been very time consuming and expensive. So very glad I’ve found this.

Rubbish replacement
This kibble does not compare in any way to the Savour Exigent.
My cat will not eat it. She always enjoyed the previously available recipe.
Why on earth has it been altered. Certainly not to benefit the much loved pets
It really is disappointing.

Not as good as the old version
Not as good as the savour exigent!! My cats doesn't like it as much. While they were always finish their bowls now they only eat a bit and leave the rest! Can we have back the old version pls?

Gutted they changed these biscuits
Why oh whhhhyyy did they change it to a single Fussy biscuit?? The aroma biscuits were fish flavour, these are poultry, and my cats just dont enjoy it like the aroma ones which were also smaller and easier to eat.
After nearly 11 years I am really struggling to find a biscuit they enjoy and and one of my cats doesnt really eat wet food so this is a total nightmare.
