"Our 17 year old has done amazingly well on food. She's notorious for getting sick from canned foods, but she's managed to keep this down consistently for months now which is something that I can't say about any other food.

"Once my cats seemed to like it, I bought 2 cases, and now they won't touch it. I have tried ALL hydrolyzed protein and limited ingredient diet canned foods and nothing seems to work for them. They liked the Royal Canin HP rabbit, but it is no longer made."

Bottom Line

If your cat has sensitive skin or a delicate stomach, this food could be a good match. However, monitor for any adverse reactions and consider alternatives if problems arise.
