I was advised to try this as the vet believes my cat may have IBD. However, we have tried it three times and each time he is vomiting within 10 minutes, even if we just feed him as little as 5 grams. He has been eating chicken with no issues, so it's back to that while we figure out our next step.

This food has been an absolute lifesaver. I can’t even begin to describe the level of stress I was under before putting my boy on this diet. Literally everything else, including other hydrolysed diets, caused him to have bloody diarrhoea. My only wish is that Royal Canin would make a wet version of this food, just like they do for dogs!

Cat was vomiting occasionally & vet recommended switching to Royal Canin Hypoallergenic. I switched her gradually and she had SEVERE DIARRHOEA at once-twice a day for 6 wks, and vomiting more frequently after switching onto this food, until the day after she was fully back on her old food poop returned to solids and vomit stopped. She was taken off all other treats so certain it was this food causing the issues. £900 vet bills & 6 weeks of stress & cleaning up diarrhoea/vomit. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

This is literally the only food that works for my cat who suffers from GI issues (frequent loose stools & fresh blood on any other food) We have tried other hypoallergenic/hydrolysed diets, novel proteins, fresh food etc. this is the only food that’s consistently worked for him. His sister, who has no health issues, also loves eating this dry food.

My cat has IBD and I was advised by my vet to put him on a this with nothing for a month to try and settle his bad bowel inflammation. my cat loved the taste and enjoyed it but unfortunately it gives him very very bad wind, to the point he was having very soft / diarrhoea and couldn’t make it to the litter. As I haven’t been feeding him anything else it’s obvious this doesn’t agree with him. Switched to black fly dry food and he’s recovered.

My cat in her senior yrs (10) started to suffer loose & smelly stools, and was over grooming to point of patches of baldness. Then she started the scratching which cause huge open sores.Thought was stress at first & worked on that but upon vets suggestion moved to a hypoallergenic diet so tried royal canin’s version. improvement was rapid and dramatic. My cat looks like her old self again. Glossy thick coat and & no stratching. I feed nothing else & she loves it.

This food may well have saved my foster-cat's life. She has really stabilised on it. Not only is she no longer scratching (after 12 weeks on this food only) but her occasional bouts of diarrhoea have cleared up too. Now, if we can stop her licking - we will be able to rehome her! Please note, she has had NO other food but this. no treats, no human food - nothing.

Our British Shorthair, Trixie was having severe vomiting and diarrhoea and the vet recommended this to treat IBD. She’s been eating this for two weeks and has had zero instances of gastric distress. I was worried that Trixie would not touch it because it smells so grim but she took to it straight away - much to our amazement. Great results so far, fingers crossed that this will sort out her tummy problems.

My cat was vomiting for months on RC gastrointestinal, so after lots of tests the vets said food intolerance and put her on this. After 4 weeks on it she gradually developed severe diarrhea, so it's back to the vets, and I have her back on just Chicken breasts to maintain her

I’ve tried everything with this food.. gradually introducing it. Mixed about 15 grains of this with my cats normal dry food and he has been sick and has diarrhoea. We tried this same food a few months ago and the same thing happened. This is meant to be a hypoallergenic food and it seems toxic. My cat is less sick eating dreamies! We are sticking with his Purina hypoallergenic.

My cat has always had digestive issues and problems with her stools, I've fed her this and the size is reduced, the smell has reduced, the size and consistency have all improved, 1 happy cat and 1 happy owner now

My Bengal cat had a lot of problems with her bowels being very very loose and. Very smelly, After going through test etc. It was suggested that we use this dry food, since then normal faeces and much Less smelly. I now have a happy cat. She still remains vocal and bossy but then we are her staff.

My cat has always had either soft or liquid stools since we got her, this is the only food that seemed to do the trick and now she has solid poops! I guess this means she’s allergic to something in normal cat food.

My cat loves this produced and his coat has improved so much that he doesn't need to see vet so often .

My vet recommended this for my longhaired black cat, who suffers from dermatitis. Although she still scratches and overgrooms, her skin is much improved and her fur is in better condition than ever, soft and glossy. She also enjoys the taste, so I will continue feeding her this indefinitely.

My 14 year old cat Doppel was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis which could include underlying IBD and/or food intolerances. The vet recommended hydrolysed food (along with pancreatic enzyme meds) but my cat prefers dry food and wouldn't eat HILLS z/d tinned food. Doppel has taken to this food with enthusiasm and has put back some of the weight he's lost and his itchy skin has improved. Huge relief. Phoned Royal Canin to ask if there was a wet equivalent but unfortunately not yet developed .

My poor British Shorthair was self-harming (over grooming and scratching) for more than a year and despite many vet visits and no small expense, it was suggested I put her on an elimination diet using this product. After 6 weeks, she was "cured" and she's now on it permanently. I'd give it 10/10 if I could.

sadly one of my cats has suffered with vomiting and diarrhoea with this. The other one seems fine

I changed to this due to good feedback as i was previously on Hills ZD which changed formula. Well after a slow integration to this stuff my cat keeps throwing up. Thought i would persist but the same thing keeps happening every day..Changing back to ZD. Be careful. Its not for everyone and the reviews dont reflect this!

I have always recommended this to my clients. Got to try it myself on a stray cat I'm fostering at the moment. No more diarrhoea and playing again like a kitten. The key difference with this diet is the hydrolysed protein as opposed to just exclusion of wheat etc. The proteins are broken down by heat so that when they cross the gut they don't bind to receptors in the same way. A very simplistic explaination but my understanding of how it works.
