My cat is allergic to chicken, beef and fish, The only protein she could eat is a rabbit pate from another brand, But she is older now and developed Kidney disease with the tell-tale vomiting that goes with it. She cannot have the KD formula because of the chicken in it. I searched everywhere for another option. This has by far the best content % for a cat with kidney disease and was the closest thing available on the market to the KD % values without chicken. The pate is strange to start BUT I mix it 1/4 at a time in a small bowl with a fork and a good amount of water. It took a couple of weeks of slowly mixing it into her old food until we got to 100% Z/D but we are here now and she is doing GREAT on it last 6 mos. IT takes a little work but you HAVE to break it up and mix with water and then refrigerate the rest of the can. If your cat hates cold food mix it with warm water. It would be hard for a cat to eat without adding water but honestly they probably need that extra water anyway and it is worth it. Also introduce it slowly to your cats current food so they get used taste of it and there will be less digestive issues. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have found this food and see my kitty thriving on it. PLEASE PLEASE HILLS NEVER CHANGE THE FORMULA!!!!!!

I wish you would replace the soybean oil (a seed oil we are finding is unhealthy and inflammatory for humans and pets) with a good oil. Other than that, I am following my veterinarian's prescription for the z/d and today was the first day feeding my cat the z/d who was recently diagnosed with Pancreatitis. He loved it right away, the wet and kibble and I hope he continues to like it, gain weight, and be a happy and healthy boy. Thanks for the product.

order was very easy and delivered promptly--my cat likes the food

our sweet cat rocky was recently diagnosed with inflammatory bowels. She was Not able to hold her food down and had an upset stomach most days of the week. We could tell she just was not feeling well at all, and was not happy. After a visit to the vet, we were recommended to try a hydrolyzed diet for her.! I had no idea what to choose so I looked through all of the options and decided on the Hill’s science diet Z/D as it had plenty of good reviews. Not only was, I thrilled that she immediately loved the food, but it also helped greatly in restoring her health. She doesn’t throw up anymore and she’s going to the bathroom regularly. I am so grateful that my baby is not sick anymore. This food has literally brought her back to the healthy,happy cat she used to be! Thank you Hills!

I have a Maine Coon (Cleopatra)that has terrible stomach issues. She’s always had issues with vomiting. As a kitten she would climb up on her cat tree, perch on the edge, and pump her front legs up and down as if praying until she burped. Sometimes after eating her ears would start twitching and she’d start running around with what I call “the cat crazies”. The vet did bloodwork and I trialed an elimination diet, but I decided to just go ahead and start her on a hydrolyzed diet. The vet said she likely has a food allergy. She has never liked wet food but I am always worried about feeding her solely dry food as I’ve had cats with kidney failure. So I’d always try to get her to eat wet food. I tried many different brands and types of wet food. There was only one she’d eat and even then she’d only eat half on a good day. Recently she got really sick and began vomiting and lost a lot of weight. Got it under control again and the vet told me I had to stick to only hydrolyzed food. She has been on the dry z/d, so the vet gave me a prescription for the wet also. My cat loves the wet z/d! I forgot to mix it with her dry food thinking there was no way she’d eat it anyway. I was shocked when I checked and saw she’d eaten it all. It does look like a gelatin, but I don’t think it smells bad as others have said. Anyway, it’s a hit with my picky cat. She’s gaining weight and no vomiting, win!!

My cat was prescribed this due to allergies. She ate/picked at it the first two days and hasn’t touched it since. Customer service was fantastic in that they issued a refund and requested I donate the unused food.

Much to my surprise, my cat likes this food and use eats the entire bowl full.

Have they changed the texture of the z/d wet prescription food. No problem with our cat eating but was curious.
