Great product, my cats love it.

On this occasion, everything was perfect. Most importantly the courier delivered the parcel to me personally, so there was no need to leave it at my back door.

I have been buying the chicken kibble…

I have been buying the chicken kibble from Thrive for a very long time, and something clearly seems to have changed recently.

For several weeks, the product was completely unavailable on every website. When it finally came back in stock, the kibble looked totally different:

- much lighter in color,
- much drier,
- and far less oily/fatty than before.

Since this change, my cats have been experiencing very violent vomiting shortly after eating, even though they had always tolerated these kibbles perfectly in the past.

After reading recent reviews, I can see that I am not the only customer noticing digestive issues since the product returned to sale.

Has there been a recipe change, a new factory, or a manufacturing change?
Because honestly, these are clearly not the same kibbles as before, and it is becoming concerning for pets’ health.

Thank you for your feedback, Elise.

We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience and understand your concern, especially after using the product successfully for such a long time.

We take comments like this extremely seriously. While natural variation in appearance can sometimes occur between batches, we would very much like to investigate this further with our production team. We have responded to your email with some questions that will be able to help us.

We’re also sorry to hear that your cats have been unwell, and we would always recommend seeking veterinary advice if symptoms persist.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We’re sorry to hear that your recent experiences with the treats haven’t been as consistent as your first purchase, especially after Leo enjoyed them so much initially. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and for giving us the opportunity to send replacements previously.

Please do contact our customer care team again with the details of the batches you’ve received, as we’d be happy to investigate this further for you.

One of the Few Foods My IBD Cat Can Tolerate

I have a senior cat with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and several other health issues, so providing high-quality food is essential to keeping him comfortable and well. I’ve spent a long time researching cat food, focusing on the cleanest, most natural options available, and Thrive pet food stands out as one of the best brands in the UK for quality and transparency.
I’ve been ordering Thrive for nearly 10 years, and it’s one of the very few brands my cat consistently tolerates well. At present, he can only have Thrive treats and one other brand as snacks, which says a lot about how well it suits sensitive digestive systems.
For anyone caring for a cat with complex dietary needs, especially conditions like IBD, Thrive has been a reliable and trustworthy choice.

I have what seems like the world’s…

I have what seems like the world’s fussiest cat so to find natural treats that she loves is fantastic. The bigger bits of thrives natural treats I just split in half for Phlixie & she happily eats them before demanding more. 10/10 Thrive, thank you for making treats for even the most fussiest of cats. We will be trying your wet food next

We’re delighted to hear that Phlixie is enjoying the treats so much, especially as she sounds very particular about what she likes. It’s also great to know that splitting the larger pieces works well for her.

We hope she enjoys trying the wet food too. Thank you, on behalf of Phlixie, for choosing Thrive.
