Blue Buffalo Natural Veterinary Diet HF Hydrolyzed for Food Intolerance Grain-Free Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24

(Everything other than hydrolyzed has been tried already.) Pros: He eats it - not with enthusiasm, but he does eat it. Possibly eating without enthusiasm holds some of his usual regurgitation in check. It has been less than two weeks on this, so I can't be sure of the long-term effect, but I'm using a lot fewer paper towels. There has still been some vomiting/regurgitating, but not nearly as much. It is grain-free, which is more in keeping with what I feel he should be eating. My other cat would LOVE to get her jaws on this. Cons: I read reviews of all of the hydrolyzed canned cat foods, and "cat won't touch it - feral cats wouldn't even touch it" is a common theme. So, although I'm relieved (Everything other than hydrolyzed has been tried already.) Pros: He eats it - not with enthusiasm, but he does eat it.

So, although I'm relieved he is eating it at all, I feel bad that he's not enjoying it. Of course, it's expensive (but so are paper towels). Not Sure Yets: I don't know if it will control his symptoms long-term. In order to encourage him to eat it, I've been crumbling up freeze-dried raw treats and putting them on top, which may be somewhat defeating the purpose. I am ordering hydrolyzed dried treats to put on top for encouragement without feeding him too much dry food (he had a urinary blockage long ago, so I will only feed him wet food). So, all in all, I'm waiting to see if this will solve his problems long-term, or if it will be one of those foods that only solve his problems for 2-3 months. In addition to this food, we have begun digestive enzymes and oral Vitamin B (he's not a guy you want to give shots to). … more

Tried by itself, tried with warm water. Tried with ForteFlora on top. My cat wouldn't touch it, didn't want to smell it, let alone eat it.

My cat will not touch this food. It’s texture is like rubber, and when I tried to warm the food up a little in my microwave to soften, it is like glue.

My vet also recommended this product but my cat refuses to eat it. She is very finicky but this is a pricey product so I may have to return it.

Tried this food for my ill, food intolerant cat, hoping he would eat something, anything. Nope. Donated the whole case (minus one can) to a local rescue. Wish there were samples of prescription foods available. Love Chewy, though.

I had hoped my cat would eat this food but unfortunately she refused. That is no reflection on Blue Buffalo. My cat is 10 and very set in her ways.

my cat has ibd and has to be on hp/hf foods. he and my other cats like the blue hf dry food, bit i still had him on a different brand hp wet food. i'm so glad i finally tried the blue hf wet food too. he prefers the taste of this one. the texture is like a hard pate (and is not rubbery at all) but you can pretty easiy make it a nicer smoother texture. i just put 1/4 can at a time on a small plate (one with a 'lip" or higher rim works well.... i have some small fiesta ware plates that work well.) i mash with a fork and then mash and stir with my finger and add a little lukewarm/cool water and keep doing this to get a nice consistency. he eats a little on his own before do this but i have my cat has ibd and has to be on hp/hf foods. he and my other cats like the blue hf dry food, bit i still had him on a different brand hp wet food. i'm so glad i finally tried the blue hf wet food too. he prefers the taste of this one. the texture is like a hard pate (and is not rubbery at all) but you can pretty easiy make it a nicer smoother texture. i just put 1/4 can at a time on a small plate (one with a 'lip" or higher rim works well.... i have some small fiesta ware plates that work well.) i mash with a fork and then mash and stir with my finger and add a little lukewarm/cool water and keep doing this to get a nice consistency. he eats a little on his own before do this but i have to hand feed him the rest by swiping it into his cheek/ back teeth to make sure he gets enough based on how much dry food he eats, so i usually offer/hand feed a little less than 1/2 can twice a day. … more

My cat with food allergies has done well on this food. The price is too expensive to continue. My cat needs to gain weight and eats almost 2 cans per day. The entire case lasted about 17 days. Simply not affordable for me. Wish they offered larger cans.

My kitty rejected all other foods for food sensitivity but she will at least eat some of this daily. She does not love it clearly, but I'm grateful she will eat some ot it! Thank you.

My cat will not eat it even if I add water and stir it into a soft pate, she is allergic to almost everything so she's been on prescription diet for a while, there weren't many choices on market so I thought I'd try a different flavor, but I'm disappointed. Also tried it with some feral cats around my house they will not touch it too. I offered them a mixed plate of different cat food, this is the only leftover.
