Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this prescription diet for managing skin allergies, digestive issues, and food sensitivities in cats. Most report dramatic improvements in coat quality, reduced itching, and stabilized digestion, with many describing it as the only viable option for severe conditions like IBD or chronic vomiting. Cats eagerly accept the small, round kibble, even picky eaters transitioning smoothly. While the high cost is frequently mentioned, customers consistently state results justify the expense. A small number report their cats refuse the food or experience side effects like weight gain, but overall, most consider it worthwhile.

This food has helped my cat so much. My cat has food allergies that make her get hot spots on her skin. Ever since switching to ZD in March 2024, she has been thriving. No flare ups from this food at all. Sometimes she will get a flare up if she sneaks a bite of her brother’s food, but ever since starting this food she has not needed any steroids to heal. This has been life changing for my little girl 🩵

I tried the canine version of this several years ago and my pet would not eat it. It was with some concern I opted to try this for my IBD cat and was pleased to find he loves it. We are still working to get his symptoms under control but fortunately l’m not battling the nutrition side of the equation.

My husband works at Hinton Mills, which is a feed meal and they sell that food there I have got a cat that is overweight and has been eating this cat food and I have seen a major difference. I absolutely recommend it.

Originally posted on Hill's Pro Staff Feeding

I'm a veterinarian and bought this food for a food trial for my cat (one needs a food trial the other is along for the ride). Bought canned and dry. They refused to eat the canned and eat the dry reluctantly, both eating much less than normally. I wanted to try a limited ingredient canned but there is very little currently available in prescription form. Will this be changing? What about a derm complete for cats? Anything new upcoming?

Spanky has been on this for several months and his digestion is improving.

Originally posted on Hill's Pet Nutrition

My cat has been eating feline dry z/d chicken for the past 8 years. Since you changed the formula of this product (adding more fiber) my cat hates it and absolutely refuses to eat it. So sorry that you made these changes because now I'm having a hard time trying to find an alternative.
