Allergies and Food Intolerances

This is a common condition in cats. An adapted diet plays a vital role in reducing them.

ADVERSE FOOD REACTIONS

These reactions happen when your cat’s body does not recognise or accept the protein in a food, and to fight it off and expel it their immune system is activated. Usually these proteins are found in one or other of the foods that your cat usually eats.

WHAT ARE THE
SYMPTOMS?

Gastrointestinal symptoms

Flatulence and bloating
Weight loss
Lack of appetite
Diarrhoea
Vomiting

Symptoms of the skin

HOW DO I IDENTIFY
WHICH FOOD IS CAUSING MY CAT
TO HAVE ADVERSE REACTIONS?

Your cat should be given a hypo-allergenic diet*

Begin by giving them a single ingredient

Do you notice any symptoms?

THAT IS THE INGREDIENT THAT IS MAKING YOUR CAT HAVE AN ADVERSE REACTION. ELIMINATE IT FROM THEIR DIET.
MOVE ON TO THE NEXT INGREDIENT AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

*Remember to carry out this process following your vet’s advice.
