You may be wondering why your beloved cat is suddenly so restless and constantly scratching. Allergies could be the trigger. Here are six allergy triggers commonly found in cat food:

• Meat proteins:Beef, chicken, fish and other meats can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive cats.
• Dairy products: Milk, milk powder or other milk-based ingredients in food can cause allergic symptoms in some cats.
• Grains:Wheat, corn, soy and gluten are common ingredients in cat food that can cause allergic reactions in some cats.
• Artificial additives:Colorings, preservatives and flavor enhancers can trigger allergic reactions, especially if the cat is sensitive to them.
• Fillers: Food with a high proportion of fillers such as cereals or vegetable by-products can promote allergic reactions.
• Animal by-products:Ingredients such as offal or by-products of animal origin can cause allergic symptoms in some cats.

If you suspect that your cat is suffering from a food allergy, observe it closely and see if it shows typical signs of a food allergy in cats:

• Itching and scratching
• Skin redness and rashes
• Hair loss
• Ear infections
• Gastrointestinal problems
• Weight loss

These signs can vary from cat to cat and may not all occur at the same time. If you suspect that your cat may be suffering from a food allergy, it is advisable to consult a vet to get an accurate diagnosis and plan a suitable treatment strategy.

The food you give your cat can have a direct impact on allergic reactions. By avoiding potential allergens, you can help to minimize unpleasant symptoms. At the same time, it is important to make sure your cat has a balanced diet that contains all essential nutrients. Pay particular attention to high-quality animal proteins, healthy fats and balanced carbohydrates. Remember that every cat's individual needs are different, so it is advisable to develop a customized nutritional strategy for your cat in close consultation with a vet. Our Steakhouse products are ideal for cats with allergies and intolerances. They consist of only one animal protein. Supplemented with valuable oils and minerals, they provide a balanced, wholesome meal.

If your cat has been diagnosed with an allergy, you should adapt its food accordingly. For example, if it is allergic to a certain protein, this should be avoided. It is best to give your cat food with only one protein and without artificial flavors and additives. Talk to your vet about this.
