Based on recent customer reviews, Dr Hahnz is valued as an affordable pet food that even fussy dogs and cats happily eat. Shoppers at Pick n Pay, Checkers and Shoprite praise the small moist kibbles, appetising smell, shinier coats and relief from skin allergies after switching from pricier brands like Hills, Catmor and Whiskas. The Gourmet team, including Yveline and Shareez, earns thanks for arranging free replacement bags. Frustrations centre on white mould, hard kibble, unanswered refund requests and difficulty finding stock on shelves.

Dr Hahnz No Stock
Dr Hahnz is the best, I have been feeding my dogs for 3 years now. But suddenly there is no stock at Checkers in the Centurion area. Why is this? Please bring back my babies favourite dog food!

Essentially poison AVOID AVOID AVOID
I have 3 healthy cats and 3 healthy dogs that eat anything and everything but they won't touch this. Not even the birds come close to their full bowls to ***** a bite. Something very worrying and harmful in there. Given the number of **** 5-star reviews on here…this company just seems very *****. Gave some to my neighbour for his dog (a stunning, stocky and healthy 1 year old Boxer) and he lost 2 kilos, lost hair, developed a dry coat and ended up at a vet with massive UTI and liver damage. Left the food, 2 weeks later he was good as new.

BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF DR HAHNZ CAT FOOD ‼️
Dr Hahnz Cat Food ‼️ BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF DR HAHNZ CAT FOOD ! I would not recommend this cat food for your cats. I have 7 cats and they eat around 18kg of food a month. My cats was on FELINE CUISINE, but after the recall on the food I had to move to another brand and decided on Dr Hahnz cat food. In the first month I noticed that my cats isn’t eating as much as they always did and at first I just brushed it off as I thought the food was more filling. After about 2 months I noticed my cats losing a lot of weight and vomiting up food more, my one cat became sick and rapidly declined in a matter of hours and when we took him to the vet and the vet confirmed that his liver had shut down from eating something or not eating well or not all. He didn’t make it 💔 (R9000 in vet bills) I noticed my other cat lost more weight than the others and had developed a bad UTI and was about to lose him as well as his kidneys was under pressure. I immediately changed the food and within 2 to 3 weeks my cats rapidly improved in health and regained their weight again and there was no more vomiting up their food and they are eating the normal amount again.

Excellent Service
The kibble from my Dr Hahnz Dog food so was hard my dog could not eat it. I've been using Dr Hahnz for a year now and no previous issues. I lodged a complaint with Gourmet Corp and the next day a replacement bag was shipped to me. Excellent service from The Gourmet Team. Thank you.

No Stock
I have been buying your dog food for my dogs over the past 6 years and am still doing so, but have a big problem in sourcing your dog food. I live in Amorosa Roodepoort and have been purchasing same from Pick and Pay or Checkers. Incidentally, I have tried 4 Checkers Stores. Checkers has told me that all stock has been removed from their shelves and do not know when they will be receiving any new stock. I was fortunate to find two bags at our Pick and Pay in Featherbrooke Mall in Ruimsig. I would appreciate hearing from you, as I am concerned that your food is going to be discontinued.
