Tasty apparently

JustSomeGal

1 day ago
Overall a good product. Our cat thinks it tastes great, so that's always important. (He started it for diarrhea and it's only slightly improved, but his problem might not just be IBD.) Even the other cats are interested in the food, which is great for a prescription food to be so enticing.

My kitty has IBD and is well managed on hydrolyzed food and a low dose of steroids. She loves the canned z/d and howls for it every morning.

I have been buying z/d for 8 years for my allergic cat and she has done well on the food until it was changed. Now, she is back to itching and constantly licking. She started with this new version.

Cat refuses to eat

My cat refuses to eat the z/d wet food. It is super, super sticky so maybe that’s the reason. Pharmacists at local Petco and Petsmart both say they have gotten similar feedback from other customers.

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear of your experience. While we strive to create foods which will be palatable and acceptable to all pets, we recognize that not every product will match every pet's preferences. While it is difficult to tell the exact cause for this sticky change in texture, we can assure you that this variation has no impact on the nutritional value of the food. Some possible causes of the sticky texture variation are the freshness of the product or temperatures the food has been exposed to during distribution. Please know, all of our products are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you would like to take advantage of this guarantee, please return the unused portion of the product to the place of purchase for a refund or exchange.

Updated Formula is Awful

Disappointed Cat Parent

1 month ago
I bought a case of the hills Z/D wet before I found out they were updating their formula. I had it stored away and broke into it today to feed my cat and surprise surprise,,,, my cat didn't touch it. I go onto the website and do some digging, and sure enough I come across many angry reviews about the formula update. What is most concerning is the pattern of generic corporate responses that fail to acknowledge the core issue: the formula was changed despite no apparent problem with the original product, and the new version is not being accepted by the animals it was designed for. Hill’s, you changed a medically necessary formula and now cats won’t eat it. This is a health issue, not a preference issue. Do not respond unless you are offering a REAL solution, not a scripted reply.

Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that we didn't get your cats taste of approval for the formula upgrade and we will be sure to share your comments with our team. To maintain our leadership in nutritional health care for companion animals, Hill’s® periodically makes changes to product formulas to incorporate additional health or product design benefits. For the Prescription Diet z/d Wet Cat Food, we did add the benefit of the ActivBiome+ Digestive Bundle. This bundle is an advanced blend of prebiotic fibers and antioxidants that support digestion, bolster the immune system, and support organ health. Additionally, we generally suggest doing a 7-day transition, as this allows them time to get used to the new flavor and ingredients. Know that we offer a 100% guarantee on our products; please contact your retailer if you would like to return this purchase.

Hills needs to reevaluate this formulation change

moclay

1 month ago
Bad flavor uodate Hills, and I dont think you are listening to your customer base. The change in formulation is detrimental. Its not about how WE introduce your product. Its about how YOU changed your formulation. Its not about how cats are sometimes reluctant to change, its about how you are putting customer cat lives at risk. Sick cats ARE your customer base. Take the negative reviews seriously and return to your original formulation.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Morsels for the win

Zoey’s Mama

My picky cat preferred this one over the other Rx food options I tried. Was so happy to see her eating again, and not getting sick. She definitely prefers the morsels over pate.

This new formula is awful

3 months ago
This recently modified formula is awful compared to the previous formula. It turns gray within an hour of opening, even with a tight lid and immediate refrigeration. The previous formula would easily keep for 3-4 days using the same lid and refrigeration. My cat loved the previous formula, always finished the can. He won't touch this new formula as soon as it turns gray, so I had to throw away 80% of each can. I returned the balance of the case to where I bought it, I'll never buy this item again. Shame on Hill's for ruining a previously great food that truly helped stabilize my cat's digestion.

Questions

1 - 5 of 5 Questions

My cat is getting older now at 8 and she keeps throwing up her soft food. I give her hard food also. Hopefully Hills Science Diet will help her tummy feel so much better. My question is if you will bring back the old formula please?!!! Thank you

    What is the calorie count for each can? Thanks.

    1. This is what is on the label: 1114 kcal ME/kg;174 kcal ME/can



    Has Hills Prescription z/d cat canned food been discontinued? I can't seem to find it anywhere!

    1. I am not having any trouble finding it, try their website - https://www.hillspet.com/cat-food/pd-zd-feline-canned



    Does this z/d prescription diet cat food come in any other flavors?

      Why does cat food need Vet authorization?

      1. A couple different reasons: some prescription foods are not "nutritionally complete" and can results in deficiencies if used exclusively for a long periods of time. Also, they are not a stand alone solution to health problems, and the animals should be under the care of a veterinarian.
