If your cat is experiencing discomfort because of itchiness in her body, there is a possibility it is caused by allergies.
Common food allergies in cats are from protein foods like chicken and fish. Grain allergies are rare but possible, so grain-free meals for your cat may not completely keep her safe from allergies or itchiness. Food trials are the best way to figure out if itching is the cause of the itching your pet is experiencing. This method involves a hydrolyzed diet or prescription cat food with protein broken down into smaller pieces that would not cause allergic reactions. As the food trial is conducted for around eight weeks, your cat might show improvements because of the diet and immediately start itching again when her old diet is returned. In that case, food allergy is the cause of itchiness, and your cat would have to take hydrolyzed meals for the rest of her life.
Frequent allergy flare-ups must be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Marietta, GA.
