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 He enjoyed Savour Exigent which has been replaced by Fussy.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

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.

It makes my cat throw up
Since changing from Exigent Aroma (now discontinued), I tried one of my cats on this and he's far less interested in this new option. He's now regularly throwing up. As I see it, this was changed to help the company make more money, and not to make it better for my cat's health. Prove me wrong Royal Canin!

The new formula is awful
As a foster for a kitty rescues for decades I've sworn on Royal canin exigent savour sensation as the kibble I use.
So much so I've bought it myself as its been too expensive for rescues to buy. At one point I was going through over 20kg a month, but it was so good I didn't mind.
This change is awful, every cat in the house apart from one NOT eating the RC has been vomiting, varying degrees of it, but every single one.
2 sacks from different batches were tried, both equally terrible

My fussy cat doesn't like it
My fussy cat used to eat old version for 9 years. Doesn't like new version so much. Why change it??

my girlfriends cat wont eat the new lesser version of this.
Why did they change the product with lesser quality ingredients? My girlfriend has spoiled her cat and he will not eat this new version of the product. Why they changed the product is anyones guess, but it looks like it was done to cut costs. This is very disappointing. As soon as a company starts cutting corners and sacrificing the quality of the product so that they can make more money, it's time to switch to another brand.

Cats not happy
Ordered this as the original Fussy cats Exigent has now been discontinued. My cats (10 in total) won’t touch it. I used to order approximately 15 bags x 10 kilo of the old one. I guess Royal Canin are happy to lose my business now as will swap to cheaper makes that does get eaten.

Why discontinue Savour Exigent?
Our cats loved Savour Exigent but won’t touch this new recipe. Looks like I’m done with Royal Canin

Why did they change it ?!!!
My cats loved both the savour exigent and aroma. Could not find them any more. Discovered they had ended those products for this fussy brand. My cats will not touch it. I contacted Royal Canin and they basically said "sorry, not sorry". It's probably cheaper content. Why change such a popular biscuit for an inferior one ?. Cats won't eat it unless they like it.

Disappointing. Rubbish Product
This is a new product from Royal Canin. It replaces the three different exigent varieties that they had on offer. My cats loved the Savour Sensation variety which is now withdrawn. They turn their noses up at this as soon as I put it on the floor. Compared to Savour Sensation this has more fat and more protein. The kibble is darker and the shape is different. WARNING. Don't think that this is a direct replacement it is not. In my experience giving one my cats extra protein makes them sick

Not the same as savoir exigent
My cats loved savoir exigent but hate fussy exigent. I’m trying to find a replacement but but they are too picky. I’m desperate.

Where has Savour Exigent gone
All my cats loved savour exigent. They won't touch fussy exigent. Even the ferals don't like it and just pick at it. Very disappointed.

Why change the product?
My two cats would only eat Savour Exigent. Now it’s called Fussy Exigent - different kibble, clearly different taste and smell and they don’t like it. They are even using the old savour Exigent over fresh fussy. Despairing

Cat hates this.
My cat loved Aroma Exigent, which has been discontinued and replaced by this Fussy Cat. Its hasn't impressed my own fussy cat in the slightest. She wint touch it.
