Whatisheallergic to?
Wefeed ourcats ByNature,ithasnocorn,nowheat,andnosoy andisfairlyinexpensive. Wegetours atPetsmart buthere isa link totheirsite
God luck,hope yourkitty feels better!
Your“economical”feeding habits haveprobably contributed tothecats problems.
GetsomeGOODcat food,likescience diet forcats withsensitive stomachs.
Ifyouloveyourpet,it’s worth a few extra bucks,isn’t it?
Try switching yourcat toa canned food thatisallmeat. It’s quite likelythatthegrains inthedry food youwerefeeding havesensitized yourcat toallergies. It’s essentially poisonous toyourcat. Youshouldalsolook fora different protein source (rabbit isa goodone) asunlike dogs,cats canbecome allergic toa protein source. Asa carnivore,theirprimary food source needs tobeprotein. Solook fora meat canned (orraw) food thatdoesn’t haveanygrain,fruit orvegetable fillers.
Many cats become allergic tochicken ifthatistheonlyprotein source intheirfood formany years andcorn isa known allergen forcats anddogs. Sincethose arethemostwidely used ingredients incat food (theyareVERY cheap) itisharder tofind a food without eitherandtheyareallusually more expensive astheingredients cost more.
Many ofthebetter canned foods haveduck,rabbit,venison,lamb,etc. andtheycost more. Eagle Pack hasa dry food madewithduck andoatmeal. Natural Balance hada venison andpea indry food andI haven’t seen itlately. I usetheircanned venison andpea formycats (amongotherbrands).
Hi Imoran. AboutthatI cantalk toyoua lot. Mycat isallergic towet food. Heisonly6 months old. Mysituation wasthatheloved(still does) wet food andrefused toeat hisdry food. I wenttoPetco andgotNatural Balance. I gotcanned food becausenomatter whattype itwas,dry orwet,thefood wasmadespecifically forallergic animals. Dick Van Patten (you’ll see hisname rightunder thefood brand) hasbeenworking onimproving quality oflife forallergic pets forquite sometime sothisfact gave mesomeconfidence inbuying thefood. I grabbed wet food andgave ittomyAbby. Heloveditandnever evershowedallergic symptoms everagain. Give ita try. Buythree orfour cans see howitgoes. Otherwise thevet needs tosell thefoods thatheneeds toeat. Buyitfromthevet. Ifyourvet doesnotsell foods forallergic pets thengotoanother clinic andhavehimchecked andhavethemsell youthespecific foods youneed toadminister toyourkitty. I thinkit’s safer ifyoudidthis.
Goodluck.
Yourvet mostlikelyhasa prescription food thatisappropriate foryourkitty.
Youaregoing toneed tofind a food thathasa simple protien source thatyourcat isnotallergic to. Thisisgoing totake trial anderror anditisgoing tocost yousomebucks tofind therightfood. Oryoucanhaveyourcat tested andsee whatitisallergic to. Again costing youcome bucks.
Intheend…I cna’t tellyouthatthereisaneconomical food out therethatyourcat caneat soI thinkyoumaywant tolook intoraw. Feeding yourcat a species appropriate diet migth cure himanyway..
GoodLuck!
Sinceitseems pretty clear thatyourcat isallergic tosomething intheone food itused toeat,itshouldbepretty easy toidentify whatitwas,andthenfind food thatdoesn’t contain it.
Youdon’t havetobuyspecial orprescription food. Justgetfood thatdoesn’t havethesame ingredients.
Themostcommon allergens arecorn,wheat,soy andfish. Sometimes chicken too. Butwithout knowing whatyoufed him,it’s hard tosaywhatitmightbeinyourcase.
I woulddefinitelyavoid thefirst three items,justasa rule becausetheydon’t belong incat food anyway. Fishy foods shouldn’t beserved more than2-3 times per week. Ifyouidentify theprotein source intheoldfood,justgeta food thatuses something else.
