My cat won't eat her vet prescribed food help!

My cat was prescribed urinary dry cat food about 18 months ago. She ate it with gusto and loved it and she's not been poorly since.

Hills Science Plan have changed the recipe and the shape of the kibbles and she will not eat the latest bag. They've refunded me as they have a guarantee and they told me they'd changed it for the better, I beg to differ.

Contacted vet and he said try Royal Canin. Ordered it and she won't eat this either. I then ordered Purina as she has to have urinary food, nope won't ear that either! 😸

The most bizarre thing is she'll eat all three if my daughter hand feeds her! But whose got time to do that.

I've tried putting it on a flat plate in case it was the bowl, but no she's not having any of it. She's drinking water and is well in herself, but we're a week in now and she won't eat the normal way.

Do I stick it out in the hope she'll eat it, or does anyone have any experience or ideas please.

I buy Cystophan from Fetch and sprinkle that onto normal cat food, as my vet told me that is similar to what is added to the urinary food. Not sure if that would be ok in your situation?

Try her on the wet versions of the food instead of the dry kibble?
