Allergy-Free Dry Food for a Feline

Food allergies are as common in cats as they are in humans. Thankfully, plenty of food options are available for your cat if allergies are a problem.

  1. Function

    • Allergy-free dry cat food provides cats with proper nutrition without suffering the effects of food allergies.

    Ingredients

    • Allergies are often caused by certain proteins or grain, so depending on the type of food, these ingredients are eliminated. Some dry foods are grain/gluten free and use replacement proteins like lamb, rabbit, duck or venison.

    Benefits

    • Allergy-free diets are made using high-quality ingredients, easily digestible carbohydrates and protein (so the digestive system has less work to do) and include extra omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for improved skin health.

    Considerations

    • Allergy-free dry cat food is available commercially, but refer to your veterinarian to find the best one for your cat.

    Be Consistent

    • Allergy-free dry food must be fed consistently and solely (with the exception of also feeding allergy-free wet food or allergy-free treats) to achieve the best results. Deviation from the diet can result in further allergy problems for your cat.
