Thrilled!
I think it's great that the bottle, measuring spoon, and instructions are all included!
I even managed to raise a baby hedgehog with it :)

Well then...
I have absolutely no time for this company, BUT the vet didn’t have anything else available, it had to be quick, it was late in the evening when I found the little ones, so I took the pack. My rescue babies are growing and thriving, the diarrhoea is gone. Otherwise, RC doesn’t come into my house ;-)

Super!!!
My kittens love this milk. I mix it hot with a whisk, wait for the foam to settle, and then stir it with a spoon until it cools to the desired temperature. No lumps. It dissolves perfectly. The little ones love the taste. After a few days, it worked well with the supplied bottle too. I'm already on my fourth tin. The kittens are gaining weight really well. Absolutely recommend it from my side.

I cannot recommend it.
I’m currently raising a baby kitten and had high hopes for the Royal Canin kitten formula. Unfortunately, despite following the instructions exactly, the powder dissolves very poorly, and there are almost always lumps left behind. Additionally, the baby kitten stopped passing stool (despite proper stimulation). After 1 1/2 days, I switched back to a different kitten formula, and the kitten is doing well again. It’s now passing stool regularly again.

AWESOME!!
This milk saved my kittens life! After my young cat had her first litter she was struggling to cope. I helped her out with this milk and 1 has survived. I am keeping going with the milk till he no longer needs it. And mum likes it too :)

Baby European hares
I’m currently raising two baby hares with it, and it seems to be working brilliantly :-)

Simple & hassle-free, but I would recommend something else for breeders.
I would especially recommend this cat milk for people who are feeding kittens for the first time or raising them entirely by hand. Firstly, because everything you need is included (bottle, 3 teats, measuring spoon), and secondly, because it's super easy to use and all parts can be boiled (important for the very young ones due to germs).
For breeders, there are certainly better and cheaper alternatives in terms of content. Royal Canin, as always, is the most expensive product and not necessarily of better quality. However, with the "complete package," they have still brought a very solid hand-rearing set to the market.

Again and again!
Back then, I fixated on this milk because of the bottle... But I don’t regret it for a single minute and would always choose this milk again, despite the increasing number of bottles... 😅
I originally bought the milk for Hugo, as he refused to drink from his mother and the wet nurse, so I had to step in... ;) I always mixed the milk completely with fennel tea, and Hugo never had stomach aches, hard stools, or diarrhoea.
I got Hugo when he was about 1–2 weeks old and used 4 tins for his entire upbringing. After that, I switched to a different powder because I didn’t want to buy another tin, and Hugo was only having milk once a day alongside his food anyway.
Today, he’s 16 weeks old and a proper little champ weighing 2.4 kg. 😉

Very good for kitten puppies from day one
We currently have to hand-raise our kittens due to the absence of their mother. This milk is really excellent for the little ones. It’s consumed without any issues, doesn’t clump, and thanks to the included tools (bottle with measurement markings and an easy-to-use measuring spoon), preparation is quick and straightforward. In fact, it needs to be mixed slightly thinner, and due to very hard stools, we always add 1/3 fennel tea to it.
Points are deducted for the very high price and the lack of a "refill pack" option. You can only buy a "starter pack" with a bottle included. Completely unnecessary!

Very good
I am completely satisfied. Verrrry few lumps, smells good and seems to taste good to the babies too :-) I would buy it again and again. I’m glad Zooplus offers this milk, as it’s hardly available anywhere else. Thanks to Zooplus.

Satisfied
I only use this milk for hand-rearing kittens and I'm satisfied with it. It's well accepted and the little ones thrive :) However, it's true that it needs to be mixed a bit thinner than stated on the packaging, which my vet had already pointed out to me. The only criticism: I find it a shame that the milk powder isn't available without the bottles – it's great as a starter set, but if you need a lot of powder, you quickly end up with loads of extra bottles. Unnecessary waste/wastefulness. That's why I deducted one point.

Perfect for raising orphaned rabbits
I have successfully raised 16 baby rabbits with this milk. You do need to make a few adjustments, such as adding condensed milk (10% fat content) and mixing it with fennel tea, but the main component is this mother’s milk substitute. I’ve also used other rearing milk before, but none was as well accepted as this one. I’m more than satisfied with the product. And even if I can save just one baby rabbit with it – the price doesn’t matter to me at all in that case!

Well received
I had to raise two orphaned kittens from their second day of life because their mother rejected them.
I tried both the Gimpet milk and this one. Both are well accepted by the little ones. They are now 6 weeks old, lively, and healthy.
However, you should mix the milk a bit thinner than described, otherwise, it can lead to constipation.
One star deducted though for the high price – not suitable for a tight budget!
