Despite the fact that a cat may have eaten a particular food for years, she can become allergic to certain foods anytime. Some common food allergens include beef, pork, dairy, fish, wheat, and corn.
Signs of food hypersensitivity can include the following: an itchy rash around her head, hair loss, and possible skin sores due to scratching. The most common food allergic reactions include gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Treatment will consist of long-term hypoallergenic dietary management.

Hello - I have enjoyed looking at your site. I have a cat and when she was just under a year old we found that she was allergic to tinned cat food. I think it is good to spread the word about allergies that animals can suffer … brilliant!
