Bottom Line
If your cat has gastrointestinal issues, this food is worth trying. It's generally effective and well-tolerated, but be prepared to add chicken broth if your cat prefers wetter food, as the texture might be a bit different. We feel this could try it if your vet has specifically recommended it and still please monitor if it's going to alleviate symptoms.
