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

What a disaster!
All my cats and ferrets ate savour exigent, now they hate the new fussy replacement. I am trying different good brands to see if I can get them back to dry. What a nightmare. Thankfully, they were also on as good as it looks wet food it will have to do til I get something they all like again!.
Price was getting rediculous anyway, so maybe it was time for a change

Ruined
My spoilt exotic Caligula loved Savour Exigent, he ate it for 9 years, since he was a kitten, but he is really not that interested the new formulation.
Bring back the old flavour, what a waste of money.

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.

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.
