Normal review text for testing purposes and quality.

All my 11 Rescue cats aged 1 to 14 years loved the original recipe. And never vomited from it. Unfortunately with a new recipe things changed not for the better. They are not as eager anymore and a few of them have vomited already after eating it. I wish it would be changed back to the original recipe.

This product was a premium 5-star food, but the new recipe is a clear downgrade. They slashed the fish oil from 9% to 4%, replaced healthy sweet potato with cheap peas (using "splitting" to hide the volume), and removed essential joint supplements like Glucosamine and Chondroitin. It’s no longer a top-tier product, just a basic mid-range one for the same price.

My cat used to absolutely wolf down this food but since the formula change and change of kibble size she won’t touch it. Can’t understand why you would make the kibble bigger, it’s like dog food now, very disappointed and won’t be repurchasing.

Our cats love this food. No issues with digestion. I recommend.

It has very strong fish smell, but both cats love it and their fur looks great.

Expensive product that I was forced to directly throw in the bin right after the opening: it had a terrible smell and was very humid despite it was never exposed to heat/humidity of any kind (I opened it 5 days after receiving it and keeping it in a dark, dry storage as any other package of cat food. First time experiencing this issue).

My cats used to love it so much untill one day the bag came in with bigger and more rough looking kibbles. They struggled to eat it crunch it and when they tried to swallow they choked. I stopped bying it. Such a pity as before it was brilliant product and even suitable for kittens but not anymore.

Fantastic quality my 2 cats absolutely love purizon especially fish flavour the 6.5kg worth the money it lasts ages and works out cheaper than buying the smaller bags and with proper seal at top of bag keeps the food fresh

Sadly I have found this product is upsetting my cats digestion. The reaction to it is that of choking. It seems to get stuck until they cough it through or throw it up and this is hours later. There is plenty of water to be had and trust me they drink it, but they don’t have the reaction to other dry foods that they are having with this. I’ll not buy this brand again as I have stopped and tried again with it a couple of times and the reaction is the same. It’s definitely this food. I’ve 6 cats.

We have two Siberians that have been fans of Purizon's adult fish flavour for the last year. Unfortunately the manufacturer seems to change the ingredient mix from time to time. They both (independently and immediately) turned their noses at our most recent order of 5kgs (across two separate bags). They might be picky, but the most recent batch had no fish smell to their owners' noses. Not reliable, really disappointed that we can longer confidently purchase this product.

This is the only food my two Bengal cats will eat. One of my cats is prone to digestive problems and this is the only food I have found that doesn’t upset his stomach. They both have exceptionally shiny coats and I believe it is because of the high quality ingredients.

I am not really sure how to rate this product as I am sure it is not the product's fault my cats won't eat it. They have eaten a few of the other Purizon flavours and never had an issue. They really seem to dislike this one for some reason. Our Maine Coon is not fussy and eats everything but refuses to eat this. The smaller kitty won't eat it either. We gave it to our neighbours whose cats ate it, so no idea what's wrong with ours. They like fish, just not dried fish flavoured cat food I guess!

It took a while but our Burmese happily munch away now..

Our Burmese appreciate their previous cat food now :( I suppose the over-powering smell of herring is too much for them. Wish I would have bought three-flavours instead.

Although my cats really seem to like this I have only given it stars 4 stars as I think it really should be in a resealable bag to keep it fresh. I have a large plastic box and can only get half of the large bag in. I would buy two smaller bags, but obviously this works out more expensive.

I have tried my 4 on all the top dry food brands (Orijen, Acana, Applaws etc) & they haven't been a hit all round. I was skeptical about Purizon as the ingredients are similar to some listed above but I was VERY wrong-all flavours are loved by all. The protein (and also potato) content is quite high but I will accept this for a quality brand they all love - I can finally move away from the dreaded Royal Canin!! Thanks Purizon - you have signed me up as a regular customer. Very happy indeed.

We call these stinky fish drops as they smell like old fish left on the harbour for a morning. My cats, who normally do not enjoy dried food, absolutely love these. Delicious. Maybe like the cat version of garum (a stinky rotten fish sauce the Romans enjoyed)

My 1 year old cat loves this food and it is good to know she is getting quality food with a high meat content . I weight the food out to make sure I dont over feed as so little is needed and as soon as she hears the packet rustle she appears! I definitely recommend this to other owners wanting a high quality brand .

I recently decided to get my cats the best quality dry for. I went for AATU 85/15 but my spoilt fur babies did not like it so I tried Purizon and the 3 of them absolutely love it. I would happily recommend it to anyone interested in giving their cat great nutrition that cats love

Thanks for bringing back the classic recipe, the one my two cats loved and that suited them perfectly. We had to switch brands because after last year's formula change, they started having really loose and smelly poos, and wouldn't even eat half their portion. But no other brand or recipe ever pleased them as much as this one, the original! Now we're in the process of switching them back gradually, but you can already tell they're eating with much more enthusiasm and everything's grand.

My cats are super happy

My cats love these kibbles, but it would be better if they were smaller for older cats.

Thank you for bringing back the old version of Purizon food! Thank you on behalf of the cats! :) There are two versions of Purizon food to choose from: Purizon Fish (the beloved old version) and Purizon Fish Original (the new version marked as NEW).

Eleven years consuming Purizon fish, and for a few months it disappeared, replaced by a recipe that, in my opinion, was quite inferior in quality. On top of that, my cats hardly ate it and I genuinely started to worry, to the point of considering trying other brands. Fortunately, a few months ago, the original recipe came back and I truly appreciate it because you’ve taken a weight off my shoulders.

Looks good, smells quite fishy, but since the price changed recently, my cats have been vomiting it. It's a problem for me because they really like this food, but now it doesn't agree with them at all. Besides the loss of money, trusting it was the same, I bought 10 bags of 400g.

My super picky cat really likes this food! The food has quite a strong smell, which probably stimulates her appetite :)

I think it's great that the old recipe is back. Feli had big problems with the new recipe and couldn't tolerate the food anymore. It's her favourite food, we're glad we don't have to buy any other food now and that she's getting the old recipe again and is healthy once more.

the cat doesn't even go near the bowl

My 6 cats were so excited, they absolutely love it and the bag can be zipped closed again. I really hope all the flavours come back like before, I'm honestly so happy with this.

I didn't believe the other owners' comments, but it's true that this dry food causes diarrhoea in cats. I spent tens of thousands of forints at the vet before we figured out that the dry food was causing the cats' diarrhoea. It's unbelievable that something like this can happen in this price range.

The product is weaker than the original one. The kibbles are much lighter in colour and greasier.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the many negative reviews. We have two cats, both loved Purizon Fish and Chicken & Fish, as well as Felix Seaside. Unfortunately, both manufacturers changed their dry food recipes more or less at the same time. The result is that both cats are unhappy and don’t want to eat the new Purizon or the new Felix. One of them mainly eats dry food and has already lost weight because of this. Absolutely brilliant! What are the manufacturers thinking?!?

Worse quality and packaging – both my cat and I are annoyed I used to buy Purizon Fish repeatedly because the previous formula was, in my opinion, much better and I was happy with the kibble. Unfortunately, they've now changed the recipe and I think it's a big step in the wrong direction. The quality that made me buy Purizon just isn't there anymore. And as if that wasn't enough, even the packaging has got worse. The old packaging was practical, but now there's no resealable zip, so after opening I have to figure out how to properly close the bag to keep it fresh.

I am very disappointed that the recipe has been changed. My cat has eaten this food for years, and I always thought it was a good cat food with quality ingredients. Now, several people are saying their cats are vomiting, getting diarrhoea, and refusing to eat.

Three of my cats eat it, but one of them got sick from it. My mistake/inattention: I didn't notice that even though this food doesn't contain grains, it DOES have POTATOES!! Why on earth do they put such nonsense in food for carnivores! Poor kitty was vomiting – yes, from the potatoes (confirmed by testing). I definitely won't buy Purizon with this cheap formula again.

People, cats! The old, good and beloved Purizon dry food recipe is back! The zip bag is back too! Make sure you check which variant you’re ordering! My cats like both versions, but they were eagerly waiting for their favourite one to return! The old version is the one with 70% animal ingredients (the new one has 65%).
