Allergies and food intolerances

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

ADVERSE REACTIONS TO FOODS

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.
