FAQ

A cat's allergy often manifests as itching, skin redness, hair loss, or digestive issues. An allergic cat may also overgroom itself.

A food allergy in cats can cause persistent itching, skin redness, flaking, scratching of the head or neck, recurring ear infections, and hair loss. Digestive symptoms may include diarrhea, loose stools, flatulence, and vomiting.

In treating a cat's allergy, it is essential to identify the allergen. If the cause is a food allergy, the solution is often a special allergy diet for cats. The right kind of food reduces skin symptoms such as itching, rashes, and hair loss. If an allergy is suspected, it is advisable to contact a veterinarian. Diagnosing allergies typically involves an elimination diet. During the elimination phase, the cat may require medication or other treatments to relieve symptoms.

Suitable food for an allergic cat is often a veterinarian-recommended allergy diet: a special diet with a limited number of ingredients that avoids common allergens such as chicken or grains. Alternatively, a food may be chosen in which the proteins have been hydrolyzed to prevent allergic reactions. This type of food supports skin health and reduces digestive issues.

How to Recognize Allergy in Cats?

The most common allergens are chicken and grains, and in these cases, a cat's chicken allergy or grain allergy requires a carefully adjusted dietary change.

What Is the Best Allergy Food for Cats?

Hypoallergenic food for cats is specially developed for sensitive individuals. In some products, such as Royal Canin Veterinary Diets Derma Anallergenic dry food for cats, hydrolyzed protein is used – a protein that has been broken down into such small components that the body no longer recognizes it as an allergen. This significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions and soothes both digestion and skin.
