Dog won’t touch it
This a dreadful looking product which my dog will not touch. She hasn’t eaten for 3 days and still won’t eat this. It’s a grey/black paste which we are having to mix with other foods to get her to use up our purchase. Will not be repurchasing

Reliable brand
My 4 year old frenchie has a sensitive digestion.
She's always had unstable stools and lost a lot of weight now.
Vets and specialists say more diagnostics needed (and more money to pay for it). We started this wet canned z/d food after another dry Hill's food which she could not tolerate and would just shoot out with watery stools.
Hills gives full guarantee refunds if the food you bought doesn't suit your dog. So we got refunded for the first food we tried. This food seems to work better

Hill Prescription Diet
My vet recommended this food for one my allergy prone dogs. Both seem to enjoy the food although doesn't look very appealing. Only negative as some tins arrived dented and one I had to throw away as mouldy.

Improved our dog's health
Our papillon has PLE (Protein leaking enteropathy) & was very unwell with it. Following the vets recommendation we've been using Hills z/d (mixed with mini adult kibble) & saw visible improvement within a few days. She loves the taste & despite it looking like mud or dry soil to use, she really likes it ! Her condition has considerably improved.

My dog won’t eat it
My Yorki dose not like the texture or taste of this product
Not for us
Unfortunately these aren't sold in small quantities by zooplus which is a shame, so I've purchased a large amount of food that doesn't suit my dog. I'm guessing there is no refund even if the remaining tins are unused so it's a lot of money for something that may not (and hasn't) helped. My dog has a lot of reflux issues but getting her to eat this was challenging & the food she did eat which I gradually mixed in with her current hypoallergenic food seemed to make it worse not better.

The best for food sensitivities
Our 14 year old JRT had on and off enteritis every couple of weeks for bout 18 months. Tried lots of different natural foods, including home cooked, to no avail. After some medication to reduce gut inflammation she has been on this wet food plus home cooked chicken breast and absolutely fine since. 6 months and still ok. Definitely worth the extra expense - saves you loads in vet bills!

Last resort for our golden retriever
We have a 1YO golden retriever who has always had on/off diarreah since we brought him home. He’s been checked over for everything & we finally established that he has a VERY sensitive digestion. Our vet recommended we move him to Hills z/d wet & dry food after one particularly nasty bout of diarrhea, when chicken + rice failed too. It worked like magic & he loves it! He’s now a very happy boy again :-)
Disappointed
After using this food for over a year as it was perfect for our frenchie. We struggled to get hold of tins then hills changed the formula. As we couldn’t get hold of tins we were unable to transition our dog to the new formula. Now our dog seems to dislike the new formula.
Z/d wet dog food
Fed up with not being able to get this for people like me who have dogs who can only have this food it makes you worried that you will have nothing to feed them. Also noticed that they put the price up making it even more expensive we buy it because we don't want our pets to be I'll.

Z/D wet food
Our Shihtzu was recommended by our vet to have, it’s been fantastic for him. He has gone from being fussy to loving his food - he cleans his bowl every time and his gut has been so settled - just the stress of being able to get it now.

Happy to see my dog enjoy his food
After having a parasite my dog had a very sensitive tummy. This was a great food for him to get excited about and lick the bowl while recovering from the trauma in his intestines the parasites left behind.

Not Hypoallergenic at All
The second main ingredient in this is Maize... which lots of dogs are allergic to. I tried my dog on this food and within a week we had to take her to the vets, she was so ill off this food
|
Hill excellent value
My Chihuahuas were always at vets with tummy upsets now both eat Hills Prescription food wet ZD and ID although expensive than normal dog foods and I’m a Pensioner age 71 on pension I don’t get so many vet bills because of tummy upsets
|
Worked for us
My dogs have been on this for 2 years now, no more itchy hotspots or dodgy tummy’s. Went through lots of tests, but if we had gone on this in the beginning could hav3 saved a fortune.

Not entirely for food sensitivities!!
AVOID this garbage if your dog is allergic to maize. I was recommended to keep my dog on this by the vet after mentioning that my dog was likely allergic to something in his previous gastro food. Within a day my dog had watery stools with full strands of mucus. The vet insisted that this food is supposed to work for dogs with food sensitivities. IT DOES NOT. Upon switching my dog back to his grain-free kibble, his stools dramatically improved within the next day. The label on this is misleading!

Colitis
My Cavalier King Charles was diagnosed with colitis 18 months ago and put on this...she really loves it and it's honestly the only dog food she's ever got excited about, I also cut it into small cubes which we use as treats & rewards...she's been fine since and would definitely recommend it and also Zooplus is so much cheaper than our vets 👍

Thick consistency
Ever since production moved from the USA to Italy, the food has a dark, very sticky consistency. After meals, I have to bathe/wash/launder the dog and everything around him. On top of that, my dog started losing a lot of weight (zero nutritional value). We still use Hills dry food (z/d mini) alternately with wet food from another brand. We definitely do not recommend this wet food.

Hills
At first, when I ordered Hills cans, the consistency of the food was fine and my dog didn’t struggle while eating. But he actually started scratching again. I don’t know what’s happened with the manufacturer of these foods. This is the last batch I’m ordering. I don’t recommend it.

New consistency is great!!!!
At first, I also found the texture rather unusual and was honestly quite annoyed. But when I put it down for him, he ate it all in one go. That hasn’t changed—he much prefers it now. Normally, he was never really keen on his food, but now it’s the complete opposite. The texture is similar to liver sausage, and it doesn’t stick to the roof of the mouth either! Dogs eat it without any trouble. I think it’s the humans who need to get used to it more than the dogs.

slime, not food
I've been ordering Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Food Sensitivities dog food for my dog with food intolerance for many years, definitely more than five, if not seven. It used to have the consistency of a normal pâté. For some time now, what's in the can looks like one big, dark, disgusting blob shoved inside...

Bad food
This food has always been good, but now it's really sticky. My dog can't eat it because it sticks to the roof of his mouth. Switching to another brand.

WARNING: they've changed the formula
I had been using this food for years; it had solved our little dog's gastrointestinal problems. But the new formula is forcing us to look for a different food: our dog refuses to eat it, struggles with it, it's too soft, sticks to her palate, whiskers, and teeth. It's a shame we weren't informed, either by the website or the company, because with the automatic reorder I ended up with a lot of food that I'll donate to the shelter rather than throw away.

Excellent therapeutic food
It solved my long-standing digestive problems in one go. Of course, it should only be taken on a doctor's recommendation and only for a limited period.

Sticky
He eats this very poorly, it's very sticky and soft. Last time it was much firmer. If we don't mix something else into it, he won't eat it.

Recommended by the vet
My Tony (Labrador-Shepherd mix) was constantly suffering from ear infections, rashes everywhere, always licking and biting his paws, diarrhoea, and stomach problems. Our vet recommended switching completely to Hills z/d, saying it could take 8–12 weeks to see improvements. I have to say, after just 2 weeks there was already a noticeable improvement, and now, after 6 weeks, no more scratching his ears, no diarrhoea at all, regular bowel movements. When mixed with warm water, Tony eats it up.

Hills zd
The product has been changed and it's terrible—don't buy it because dogs struggle to eat it. Since it's so homogenised, it sticks to the roof of their mouths. My Maltese was growling while eating it… such a shame because it used to be a good product. 0 stars.

To everyone unhappy with the consistency!!!!!
Simply mix the sticky food with a bit of warm water until you get the desired consistency, and nothing sticks to the roof of the mouth anymore. The dog doesn’t smack its lips and can eat it easily.

Change
We’ve been buying this food for a long time and in large quantities, but unfortunately the consistency has changed—it’s now very watery and looks like mud. Something must have changed in the ingredients.
On the plus side, the shop accepted the complaint and refunded the money.

Hills z/d
I'm not happy with the food anymore either. It sticks so much, you have to be careful the dog doesn't choke. Who can you contact about this, it really needs to be changed...

Terrible product
No texture at all, my dog struggles to eat it. I had to throw away the tins I bought. No, I definitely won’t buy it again—I should have listened to the reviews I read.

Just a muddy mess now!!!
What’s been going on with the consistency for quite some time now!? It’s awful! It’s just a mushy, sticky mess that my dog almost chokes on! You really need to change the consistency urgently! Unfortunately, we rely on this food, otherwise I wouldn’t buy it anymore!

@Hill's z/d wet food: Please change the consistency back!
As has often been mentioned in reviews, the consistency of Hill's z/d wet food has been impossible for quite some time now. Either I stir it into a sticky mush or it comes out as a lump that my dog can only swallow with a lot of smacking. It definitely sticks to the roof of the mouth. Because of an intolerance, I can't switch to another product. @Zooland: Please let Hill's know that the consistency should be changed back to how it was before. Thank you!

Poor new formula
The texture is jelly-like and my dog struggles to eat it.
The old formula was much better.
