It’s not just people who can be allergic to certain foods, our pets can as well. I’ve recently rescued 3 kittens and have been wracking my brain trying to figure out what they are allergic too. They all seem to be allergic to fish, corn (which eliminates most dry kibble), and cannot break down rice at all. I’ve started them on boiled dark meat chicken, quinoa (keen-wah), turine, infant probiotics, and sunflower oil. Their symptoms are diarrhea and a blackening skin rash on their faces causing their fur to fall out. New fresh skin and fur are growing underneath so I believe that the elimination of fish altogether is helping their condition.
I found a blogsite that talks specifically about cat food allergies. I was well impressed to find out that I could try using things like duck, venison, lamb, and veggies like peas and potatoes as they are all hypoallergenic foods. So tonight’s dinner will consist of peas, potatoes, dark meat chicken (light meat is no good), probiotics, and taurine.
Taurine is an amino acid normally found in the organ meats of prey. Its essential for the proper digestion of the meats and carbohydrates cats eat. If you are feeding a raw diet that you’re making yourself be sure to buy this crucial ingredient.
Symptoms of food allergies/intolerance in cats and dogs that are commonly misdiagnosed:
- Cats- licking and biting at their skin or jumping up as if being bitten by something.
- Eye drainage
- Dogs-a ‘hot spot’ or rash usually on their lower back above their tail or anywhere on the body
- Cats- a rash anywhere on the body
- Dry cracked paws
- Flatulence
- Diarrhea
- Cats-Urinating or defecating anywhere but their litter box (also sign of infection)
- Constant hunger and begging for food following diarrhea (could also be worms)
If any of these symptoms are present you should check with your vet to see if they can do a food/airborne allergy test and change their diet immediately to a food listed on this site.
