Do you think that the increasing number of food allergies is only a problem for us humans? Then you are wrong! Even a cat's body can react disproportionately to some food components. Any type of meat or even cow's milk can trigger an allergic reaction. How do you recognize a cat allergy and how to choose the right food for it?
A bowl of milk for Mickey? Rather not!
Some cats have a genetic predisposition to food allergies, while others develop them after long-term feeding of inappropriate food. If your cat has a food allergy, frequent indigestion or itchy skin that causes cats to scratch and bite their fur will probably reveal it. You may be surprised to learn that beef and poultry can cause food intolerances. The most common allergen in adult cats is also milk, specifically milk sugar. Some sensitive cats may have a problem digesting cereals, which are mainly present in lower quality foods. Do you suspect that your cat has a sensitive tummy or is suffering from a food allergy? Head straight to the vet. He will rule out other diseases and perform an antibody test. By eliminating different ingredients from the food, you will find out which of them are not good for your cat and should be avoided.
The composition of the feed matters
If you already know what's causing your pet's health problems, you're already halfway there. Now all that remains is to choose a suitable feed that does not contain an allergen. The shorter the list of ingredients in the feed, the more likely you are to avoid allergens. Purely canned meat or hypoallergenic feed is the right choice. KittyCare canned meat contains 100% meat from hand-processed muscle. You are always sure that there are no extra additives in the meat that could make life unpleasant for a cat with allergies. There is a pure chicken, beef and salmon option on the menu to satisfy all picky cats' palates. Even if the cat does not thank you with words, a beautiful coat and a calm stomach are clear evidence that its health is well taken care of.
