Food allergies in cats
6 min read
Cats can develop an allergy to certain ingredients in their food at any point in their lives. Around 1% of all cats and 15% of itchy cats have food allergies. The most common signs of food allergies are itchy skin, ear infections, and stomach upsets such as vomiting and diarrhoea.
Food allergies are also called cutaneous adverse food reactions or food hypersensitivity. They cannot be cured but can be managed well, and cats can live a full, happy life. Some cats may need medication to help with severe flare-ups, but most can be managed with a special diet alone.
