  • Cat food allergies mayshowup inyourcat intheform ofdry skin,dandruff,brittle ordulllooking fur,itching,loss ofappetite,loose stools,oreven constipation. Unfortunately,yourcat cannottellyouinwords whatisbothering himorher,soyoumusttry tolook forsigns andsymptoms yourself andbeaware ofanychanges inbehavior. Many pet owners areshocked tolearn thatwhattheyarefeeding theirdog orcat canbewhatiscausing theproblem.90 percent ofcat food allergies arerelated tobeef,dairy,orfish. Ofcourse theremaybeothertriggers thatset offreactions inyourcat,soyoumayhavetospend a bit oftime trying different formulas offood tosee whatworks best foryourcat.
