This food seems to attract all of our rescue cats, even though it was originally purchased for the one with IBD. Two siblings even pester me whenever they want another bowl set down for them. Our IBD cat regularly enjoys it and paired with daily hypoallergenic wet food meals, she has been able to gain back the weight she lost while fighting IBD last year. This food has been so helpful in preventing the terrible emaciated look that IBD cats get as they continue to lose weight and muscle mass.

This did not go well with my cat and had to chuck it away

So my two cat brothers are 10 years old. One has always had colitis flare ups, the other diagnosed IBD this year. I have introduced these biscuits and they seem to be helping both of them, so I’m really pleased and relieved.

My cat has severe allergies, as in she is literally allergic to everything. She was losing her fur in clumps, scabbed skin, sneezing etc. so after a lot of trial and error attempts to cook for her we had to settle on this. I have to say that this is just what we needed. She is now fully furred and looks forward to feeding times. No issue with her toileting.

Since we adopted our Scottish fold he’s always had runny poos and refused to use the litter tray. Been to the vet, they’ve recommend different foods, tried supplements and nothing worked. This food changed everything overnight! His poos have firmed up and he uses the litter tray every time! And our other 2 cats like the food too. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

My 11 month old cat, Queen has had a hard time with food allergies. I have tried everything!! Insect protein diet, to other hypoallergenic cat food. I had to result to cooking her food so I knew what was in it. She would end up with sores on her belly, ears pretty much all over. However, she has been eating this food for 2.5 weeks and no issues I’ve had her from 10 weeks old and this is the 1st time her bowl movement has been fully formed literally from she started eating it. #winning!!

I got Dora from cat rescue and a lot of blood in her motions and after several tests it just a diet problem. She loves her food and is now 12yrs also Susie her house mate also enjoys the Purina hypoallergenic food..

My two cats and kitten all love this food, and it's great that it's suitable for all of them. But it has an appetite stimulant that has made them all go a bit crazy for it. I used to be able to leave dry food out for them to graze on, but I can't anymore, and they even knocked the bag off the fridge to get at it! But it has sorted out my IBD kitty's tummy, and it's great that it doesn't have chicken in it, which she is also intolerant to, so carrying on with it for a while.

Has to change to a hypoallergenic food as it seems any other cat food was giving my boy diarrhea with blood. This looks like rice crispies and smells a bit strange to me but he loves it. Made his bowel movements a lighter colour but (unless he's managed to eat a piece of the other cats food) no digestive issues. He says he'd recommend it to all other cats.

One of my cats has IBD and this food has worked really well for her - no upsets since we switched to this. My other cat has no stomach issues, but also really enjoys this food. It looks/smells a bit weird but they seem to love it!

My kitten aged 10 months has Diarrhoea and weight loss . He found this highly palatable and it’s the best dry food he’s had for paletability and he gained weight on it very quickly but unfortunately after 10 days his loose stools became like water so had to take him off it. I have read since that some cats react to the soya content. He’s now on z/d and is much improved but poop still not formed.

After many prodigy’s and vet visits to get to the bottom of why my oriental Siamese cat was throwing up daily, I put him in this diet along with sensitive gastrointestinal food and he is thriving. He loves the taste and hasn’t tired of it as has to be on the same foods for life due to his gastrointestinal issues. A very happy cat now!

My cat with skin sensitivities loves this food, but I don't think it satisfies her appetite, she is permanently hungry on it. This food also gives her the worst poo ever! Yellow and smelly! Any other recommendations for skin sensitivities would be welcomed, thanks .

we tried EVERYTHING under the sun to find food that didn't make our wee cat throw up - Vets had no clue. She was throwing up for 8 months daily but we tried this hypoallergenic 'meat free' version and she has not thrown up since (she has been eating this food only for 3 months now). This food is cheaper than most and lasts me nearly 2 months.

I was given a bag of this by a friend whose cat didn’t get on with it. Delighted to say that my little girl does very well on this. It has proved a great replacement for the Royal Canin GI dry food, which Io had started throwing up. Thank you, Purina.

My cat loves the taste, which is often not the case with these types of specialist foods, and it seems to be suiting her. We'll keep going with it and see if it continues to help.

Recommended by the UK's feline centre of excellence (Langford Veterinary Services), I haven't switched back to supermarket cat junk food since! The cats seem to love the taste more than any other dry cat food, plus it's a very healthy option even for cats without allergies. Totally recommend it.

Bought to use as exclusion diet (on advice of vet) to try and identify a food allergy causing our young neutered male to loose tummy fur. In conjunction with a drug (sadly now withdrawn) it worked well. In isolation, when the drug had to stopped, it halted the tummy fur loss but did not allow any regrowth. Also, it gave one of our younger cats diarrhoea.
