Still has quite high carbs and didn’t satisfy. low meat protein, high starch!

I ate this for less than a month, thankfully. Wasn’t very tasty except for dust on outside. Only ate it coz I felt starving. Had to eat double quantity than packet said to even feel ok. Shocked to realise it still has quite high carbs. 18.8% starch… for a diabetic… are you kidding? Barley as second ingredient… uh, I am a cat. Really expensive and ‘empty’ food. I’d rather go dumpster- diving. In fact, I did. Several times after this sawdust left me hungry. Yuck

An excellent product!

Our diabetic cat enjoys eating this food, but so do our other cats when they can seize the opportunity! A very popular product! We also appreciated the speed and efficiency of the delivery!

Excellent diabetic food for my cat

My little Charlemagne loves this diabetic food. It is so good to find something which he likes. He therefore only eat this food and some fish on special occasions.

DIABETIC

Unfortunately my cat's diabetes is irreversible and I have to give him two insulin injections per day. Between the cost of insulin and that of kibble I spend a considerable amount, but when I found zooplus I started saving a bit of money, and with the regular deliveries my cat's diabetes is under control!

Great

I was planning to give 5 stars but I've just found that the price has gone up slightly so I'm dropping a star for that. However, for people who unfortunately have a diabetic cat this is a handy size and it's hard to find in stores, so zooplus is useful with its quick delivery.

Good

I've been buying this product for almost a year, it's easy to buy online and it arrives in a few days. The food quality and size of 3.5kg is really convenient, and since diabetes is a lifelong illness it's handy to order lots of bags and always have some at home.

A big thankyou to zooplus, everything arrived on time and customer service was great. The product is fantastic, and even my non-diabetic cat loves it. The current price is also good, keep it up! I will always be a zooplus customer as long as I have pets.

Super convenient!

I ordered this food for my grandma's cat, and when I saw the price I really couldn't believe it - it's far cheaper than the shops or the vet's! This site is really very affordable!

Went down well

I had been feeding my 15yr old female with the 12+ until this came out. She's a bit of a grazer throughout the day and as she's getting older some times it seams she just can't be bothered to each much. This tends to play havoc with her blood glucose levels and I find controlling her can be a little difficult. However I have noticed a big difference on the diabetes food, things are much more stable now. Definately keep a close monitor on levels when you start this as I have had to adjust her injection a couple of times over a 3 week period, she is needing less insulin now and her glucose levels are very stable.
