28 reviews forSmilla Veterinary Diet Renal

My 16 year old cat has tried & rejected various well-known brands of renal food. Smilla is the only one he will eat. He particularly likes the beef flavoured one. The pâté formula is also preferable for him as he only has 3 teeth left now! Compared to other veterinary brands, Smilla is good value. Recommended!

Not a fussy cat, but refused this one point blank

My cat Ziggy, who is 25 and has had renal insufficiency for several years, loves this food. She has rejected most of the other renal diet foods.

My cat isn't fussy at all and usually eats anything, this is the only cat food he has EVER turned his nose up at. Only bought because my usual was out of stock and I won't bother again

3 cats - one has kidney issues. Bulk bought this on chicken and beef - mistake. None of them like it.

3 cats. One with kidney issues. Bought in bulk but none of them like this at all.

My cat was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. I ordered a selection of renal foods to try. She will normally eat anything put in front of her but this was the only wet renal food that she would eat. She also loved the Smilla renal dry.

Tried this food with my 18 year old cat who is not normally fussy, but unfortunately she would only lick the jelly from the top and would leave the rest, tried multiple times even tried mixing salmon oil with one to make it more edible but would leave 90% of the tin each time. Will not be ordering again unfortunately.

I initially avoided this because of bad reviews, but my cat loves it.

My 10 year old male Siamese adores this food. He has a very sensitive stomach and is very choosy about his food, making it extremely difficult to find something that he likes. I bought this product for the first time recently and it is a great success.

Having tried the main renal brands Hills and Purina (without success) our poorly kitty was refusing all food. That was when we found this. It resembles a wet pate but unlike other renal foods it actually smells edible! Our cat loves the beef flavour and is eating again! I can't recommend this enough. Renal kitties dont have much appetite for anything so it's definitely worth trying this,

My 18 year old fussy eater did not like this pate. He is not a big fun of pate in a first place, but he is eating some pates of different manufacturers. This was a firm "no" from him.

Older cats lose interest faster with food and with play. My cat used to be all about pate. Not any more. With this particular food my cat likes it cut in small chunks, and not too many on plate. :-) There are some grizzly bits in it just get rid of those. Sometimes to get her interested I add couple pieces of dry food. Variety is the key at this point.

Our extremely fussy 7 year old Ragdoll so far seems to chomping this down - we’ve tried Royal Canin, Kattovit and Purina Pro plan and he’s turned his nose up at it all. He has a protein losing nephropathy and has lost so much weight, so was desperate to get some calories into him. Shame there’s only chicken flavour!

It has been very difficult finding something my old cat likes. She is 20-years old with kidney problems.. I've sometimes spent hours getting her to eat little bits of other foods but this one she eats all straight off

The older cat who is on a renal diet often doesn't eat all of a renal food... This one she didn't even lick, one sniff and gone. The other cat, who is a walking dustbin and eats pretty much everything wouldn't touch it either.

Don't buy this. Overpriced garbage. Cat i bought it for barely touched it; so as an experiment i tried it on my two others, and two neighbour cats - Nobody liked it !!! That's five cats that thought it was inedible. Looks nasty too.

The texture might not look particularly appealing to humans, but this is the only food my cat is consistently eating at the moment (mixed with a pouch of Cosma chicken & pumpkin soup and phosphorus binder). She's gone off (and occasionally back on) pretty much every food I've tried, bar this one.

I have four cats and not one would even consider it. Must be vile. Texture is a grainy pate.
