No red dye smell when I opened bag

I’m a little skeptical when we change to new cat food diet. She is so finicky and just wants friskies. She throws up on friskies so I have to keep changing up

I’m a little skeptical when we change to new cat food diet. She is so finicky and just wants friskies. She throws up on friskies so I have to keep changing up. This GI food however, is the answer I believe. She doesn’t throw it up and she’s not constantly begging for food. It nutritious and easy on the gut. No more vomit and she’s happy with a full belly all day. So yes, I would highly recommend this brand of food for a cat with an upset tummy. Works wonders for kitty Kat.

After trying no less than 7,8,9 ( maybe more) different gastrointestinal foods for my poor Mugs who suffered with gas, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea he actually likes this food and although it hasn’t stopped his diarrhea it has stopped gas and abdominal discomfort and vomiting. He also takes steroids and thyroid medication but his abdominal discomfort was vocal and physically visible. IBD is not well understood in cats so there is no final cure all unfortunately but I have made Mugs a lot more comfortable and he can enjoy life a little better.

I was hoping this would help with digestive issues. Fangs was on dry and wet Hill’s prescription diet w/d which helped him improve but still his stools were not normal. The Royal Canin did not help at all. His original problem returned. I quit the Royal Canin and went back to the dry Hill’s w/d. Hopefully, I can eventually find something that works better than the Hill’s.

We have tried several foods recently to control chronic diarrhea. For the first time in several months we have solid stool!! After just 2 days there was a change. The best part is our cat actually likes the food. Its been about a week but I am optimistic.

Cat won't eat it

Vet said, if there's nothing else to eat, he'll eat it. I beg to differ. Why do we have to be so mean to our fluffy friends? Make better tasting food.

Tummy Issues Gone!

My lil baby would throw up everything, and he's very picky with his food. This is the only food that has helped him. Knock on wood, he hasn’t thrown up in months

My cats didn’t like it

My poor kitty is having a tough time dealing with IBS, while my other cat just had 2 large bladder stones surgically removed. I’m trying to find a way to balance

Helping my cat's persistent digestion issues

The vet put my cat on a hydrolyzed protein diet because any regular wet and dry foods upset his digestion. This is expensive but it's helping improve the situation

The vet put my cat on a hydrolyzed protein diet because any regular wet and dry foods upset his digestion. This is expensive but it's helping improve the situation. He's primarily on the wet food version because that is what he is used to eating. I give him the hydrolyzed protein treats as well.
