Heinous
My cat, who will eat anything, would not touch this. We were advised to try her on it for her gastrointestinal problems but she hated it and was miserable for the week that we tried her on it. It looks pretty grim but maybe it might help your cat... if they will eat it.

ZD recommended by Vet
This food is the only type my cat can eat, she has Cat IBS. Always left previous food, forever throwing it away. Now she eats it all, also my other cat does too, both love it. Yes it's a bit stodgy looking, needs a spoonful water & mashed up well, but it all goes, no waste. Expensive, but worth it to have a healthy cat. Plus I don't have to waste money on other food or biscuits now that get thrown away.

Yucky!
An expensive waste - So sticky and yucky. My cat is very greedy and eats anything - but she would not touch this! It does not resemble an appealing cat food at all. I tried mixing it with water to make it less sticky but ended up giving it all away to a cat rescue place - let's see if they eat it there!

The only wet food that my Ragdoll can eat
This food has been amazing for my Ragdoll with a sensitive tummy! He no longer has the runs which was super gross, especially when he gets it stuck on his furr!

Horrible texture but can be made palatable
My cat hates the texture but this is the only wet food he can eat as he is allergic to everything else. Cutting up the pate or mashing it, and adding some war water helps, and he is glad to have it then.

Need to put in a little effort to make it palatable
This is the only wet food my cat can eat. He hated it, but I cut it up or mash it, and add warm water. He is happy to eat it then. He's an old cat with long fangs, and that may be why he struggles to eat pate. It also sticks to his palate, so the water helps.

Saved my cat's life!
My cat has severe inflammatory bowel disease that's triggered by allergies to proteins. This food has saved her life! The consistency is a bit strange, but when mashed into a bit of warm water to form a paste, my cat laps it up enthusiastically!

My cat Dorothy has imflamatry bowl desease to all
To all who feed zd to your cat's.. My Dorothy was on steroids and antibiotics and eating this wonderful food.. After worrying about the medication she was on i decided to try her with Dorwest Herbal remedy called Tree Barks Powder. It's incredible, you mix a little in the wet food 5 ml into zd wet food.. Dorothy has been off all meds for two years... PLEASE TRY..

Has been out of stock for ages
Brexit affecting the supply chain?
I've been waiting to reorder this for a couple of months. I can't find this product anywhere. I've had to switch to other hypoallergenic food but I'm nervous my cat will get sick again.

Tollerated
I have 2 cats, brothers with tummy issues. 1 is on vet specific variety food but is allowed this as a change. They will eat it but it's more of a change in flavour, emergency back up.if he goes off the salmon flavoured food.

It works
My cat has come to me on this food he likes it. How ever we have had a bad batch but Zooplus have been great sorted it all out and withdrew the batch from sale. I also read the other comment about a little splash of water, he now eats it all really well. He still has to have steroids but I just mix them with the food. Happy cat and happy me 🙂

mix with water
my poor kitty has been suffering from rashes, which the vet has linked to food. They recommended this as a wet food alternative. My cat HATED it, but I discovered that mixing some water into it and adding some purina ha dry food on top did the trick!
I think it's too sticky for cats to eat and the water resolves that issue.

Other cats are jealous!
I was very worried about ordering this after reading reviews especially as it is costly and the cat that needs it is a fussy eater. I managed to get one on trial and my cat absolutely LOVED it! My other 2 try to pinch it! So glad as it was the only wet hypoallergenic food available

Inconsistant
We have been using this food for a few years ago. It is the only wet food that our can eat. The problem is, the food is never the same texture or smell. From one batch to the next it is different. This time we got a batch that is totally rubbery and hard. The last time it was sticky, once before it was dry and crumbly. We have to return the last cans we bought, because the cat refuses to eat it.
Find a formula that works for the greater majority and STICK TO IT. it's unreliable.

Not palatable
I tried this for two fussy older cats (17 and 11), one of whom has IBD and also requires novel or digestible proteins.
Difficult food to feed as it is like a firm blancmange with little texture and quite dry. My two ate this in the morning when they were hungry on the first day, but turned their nose up thereafter.

Consistent product but poor palatability
Pate type food, tried mixing in very small amounts with a food he likes but as soon as proportions increase, doesn't eat the wet food. Tried Dechra's hydrolysed hypoallergic wet food (food allergen management) instead and would advise to try that as an alternative- smells a lot like tuna!

Highly overrated - our cat starving for three days since given this food.
Recommended by Our Vet for our cat as he scratches or leak his hair form back to bare skin.
Due to consistency - thick pate like of this product our cat doesn't want to eat it from day one. He struggled to take a bite , We tried to add some boiled water but intensive liver odour still keep him away from this food. As resould our cat aws starving for three days eating little of same product in dry form.
We stopped his trial and orderd Royal Canin substitute hope would work better.

waste of money
my cat with severe skin allergies was on z/d diet for almost tewo years and he hated the wet food (did not particularly like the dry either) and the food did not do him any good anyways. we switched to Purina Veterinary Diets Feline HA - Hypoallergenic, they actually smell decent (like cheese crackers) and both my cats love it. As that one does not come with wet food option I am trying Kattovit sensitive and he seems to be ok for the moment. never again z/d was a big waste of money!
