My male cat has had digestive issues since he was a kitten. He also eats strings and stuff he's not supposed too, so making sure his digestive system is 100% healthy to help pass anything he shouldn't have eaten. (He's kinda dumb)... but food is definitely worth the money, also glad it has SO shield so hopefully he won't ever get blocked!

My 6 year old cat is dealing with some sensitivity issues, so I re-introduced dry food thinking that part of her stress was not having food readily available. She was prescribed canned i/d but thought the dry food would provide more bulk (and form better stool) - I was wrong (too little fiber). The vet said I could switch her to a high fiber diet (w/d), which she seems to prefer anyway, but since skin allergies also seem to be present I am going to try a limited ingredient diet.

I adopted 2 rag dolls from the shelter 2 years ago. They were already 8years old. With long hair and IBS issues it’s a constant challenge to make sure they have top nutrition. That being said it’s also hard to find something they’ll like. But they looooove it. Have to hide the bag. I only feed them half a cup mixed with their wet food. They love it and mommy is happy

Naturally this was recommended by our vet, since it is a prescription item. It is the dry food that one of my cats will eat from now on, since the vet decided it is the best formulation for her at this stage of her life. I am grateful to report that both cats in my house LOVE it. I've never before found a dry food that both would eat happily over the long term. As far as the cats are concerned, this dry food is better than some of the treats that they used to meow for. That's really saying something. It smells better even to me. This is a great product!

It's difficult having a kitten with digestive issues.... My guy really likes this food and is thriving on it. He's growing, his fur is smooth and shiney, he has energy to spare.... And best of all? It agrees with his system.

I have never had a prescription food that my cats love like this food. In fact, they are gaining weight on it and I have had to cut back. I have four cats and they ALL love it.

My vet had me switch my 15 year old Siamese to i/d so I also tried it with my other cats (2 other seniors, one with multiple medical issues, and my 5 year old). All of them love it. Even my Siamese, who is usually extremely picky and wants canned. All of them prefer the i/d dry and eat it very well. And it addresses multiple medical issues among my clowder. I am also offering the i/d canned but my Siamese eats what little she wants when it is fresh and the Boys finish it off once she is done.

I have a kitten who was having very bad gastro problems and this has been great for him. It's a bit high when compared what I was getting for the "herd." However, he hasn't had any further problems so everyone will now be on it. While I thought the 8 lb bag would do for a month, it has hardly lasted 2.5 weeks so you know the cat and kittens love it. Like the service of Chewy and their prices are good and comparable with local stores. The people who answer the phone are nice and helpful.

My kitty was having severe diarrhea for weeks. We tried metronidazole, fortiflora, hydrolyzed food etc. Nothing helped. I then tried this food, literally the next day her stools were formed and normal! She has not had any diarrhea since! VERY happy that I tried this food. I feed the dry and canned. Thanks Chewy!
