The first time I bought some she wouldn't touch it and the feral cat wouldn't eat it. I tried it again recently and now my elderly cat will eat it. But it does need to be warmed in the microwave and then she only eats small amounts. I've started cooking for her, but it would make life easier if there was some commercial food that was renal friendly and that she actually liked.

My cat loved it...

My cat absolutely loved its tuna goodness and creamy-looking pate. It certainly smells incredibly fishy which he is a fan of. He is very picky, so we were surprised

My cat absolutely loved its tuna goodness and creamy-looking pate. It certainly smells incredibly fishy which he is a fan of. He is very picky, so we were surprised he loved this immediately. He was asking for this several times a day, which is great because he is towards the end of his kidney disease and has no appetite usually. Unfortunately, he doesn't love it as much anymore, but it is no reflection on the quality of the food and just where he is on his journey. If your kitty likes pate formed cat food and seafood, then they will love this. It is expensive, but most vet diets are.

My cat does not like this food.

She normally likes wet food. It has been a struggle to get her to eat this food. I’ve tried blending it with other wet foods that she likes and she still won’t

Jaz has been diagnosed with kidney disease. She wont eat food with supplements but she will eat this. And so will the other two. Its very expensive, but so far worth it to see three cats all eating politely and not regurgitating or vomiting every week.

Special thanks to Chewy and Hills.

We have the honor of loving and taking care of our Dear senior Siamese of almost 18 years of age. She has many issues including the issues with UrinaryTract Infections

We have the honor of loving and taking care of our Dear senior Siamese of almost 18 years of age. She has many issues including the issues with UrinaryTract Infections. Her blood tests show no renal failure (I know, we are fortunate) and was put on this food by our Vet. She LOVES it! Hana has cataracts and can barely hear anymore, but we will always give her what she needs and wants until the day that she tells us that she had had enough. Thank you Hills for this quality cat food and Chewy, what can I say other than you ARE the best.

A cat's preferences rule

Our dear Calliope simply won't touch it. The only things she eats are Friskies dry food and a kind of Puree with tuna labeled "Tastefuls". made by Blue Buffalo

Our dear Calliope simply won't touch it. The only things she eats are Friskies dry food and a kind of Puree with tuna labeled "Tastefuls". made by Blue Buffalo. And that is in small quantities. She's getting thin . . .

My cat likes this better than other brands of KD food

This food helped get my cats proteinuria under control and most importantly he will eat it. The pate is very moist and smooth, unlike others which were too stiff

This food helped get my cats proteinuria under control and most importantly he will eat it. The pate is very moist and smooth, unlike others which were too stiff and didn't have a variety of flavors.

Nice surprise!

Ordered for my one cat with kidney disease/failure. Vet recommended but I was hesitant due to my experience with this food many years ago. Pleasantly surprised there

Ordered for my one cat with kidney disease/failure. Vet recommended but I was hesitant due to my experience with this food many years ago. Pleasantly surprised there is now a tuna flavor in addition to the original chicken one. For some reason, this cat only was interested in food with tuna, when he was not picky before. Best surprise? The texture is so soft and smooth, with good aroma, not dry and unappealing like years ago. My cat actually wants to eat this! Very helpful since this is all he gets now (and a few Greenies). On the 2nd case and he's doing well. Worth it to give my 15 year old friend more quality time!

Kidney Failure

Buying time with the diagnosis. Terribly expensive. Why you need a vet prescription? No one in their right mind would purchase this product if you didn't need

Good Option for a Picky Eater

My cat recently was diagnosed with stage 1 chronic kidney disease & had surgery to remove stones causing obstructions. We were told it was incredibly important for

My cat recently was diagnosed with stage 1 chronic kidney disease & had surgery to remove stones causing obstructions. We were told it was incredibly important for our cat, Boots, to be on a special wet food kidney diet. Making the switch from 100% dry food to 100% wet food was tough. We ordered the sampler pack and this one excited our cat the most! She is obsessed with feeding time again with this food. She loves tuna (she goes crazy if she hears/sees a can opener) so this was a great choice to get her enticed into eating wet food. She's about 2-3 weeks in to eating this food & she's finally licking the bowl clean at breakfast and dinner now that she loves this food so much! It has a pretty strong smell, but worth it for her since she's such a picky eater.
