10 Reviews: Best Food for Cats with Allergies (Apr 2024)

In this grain-free kibble from Blue Buffalo, hydrolyzed salmon provides a refreshing variation from typical hydrolyzed diets. This diet must be approved by a veterinarian, but it is free of poultry, corn, wheat, soy, and chemical preservatives. Probiotics for digestive health, omega-3s for skin and coat health, and a range of antioxidants are also included. Furthermore, the meal meets AAFCO requirements for complete and balanced nutrition and comes in a round kibble form, which makes it worth trying.

My cat has sensitivity issues. Every food makes him sick. This works. It finally stopped him from being sick. He enjoyed it too.

This venison and green pea formula will also need veterinary approval, but it is a high-quality alternative for cats with allergies or sensitivities. The triangle-shaped kibble has a good palatability score among cats, and it also contains omega-3 fatty acids for skin health. The venison is not hydrolyzed, but since it is not a common allergy, it is unlikely to create a problem with cats. It has no natural chicken or fish flesh and is backed by the Hill’s 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Thank Goodness for Hills, because Max feels so much better, and I now know what was wrong with him.

Hill’s Prescription Diet z/d is a popular option for cats with allergies, but it requires veterinarian approval to buy. Since the proteins are hydrolyzed to very low quantities, your cat is unlikely to have a problem. The dry kibble contains just one kind of carbohydrate. Hill’s pet food is a reliable, trusted option for allergic cats for its high production standards, veterinarian formulation, and 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Prescribed by my vet. My cat has not had any stomach problems now In over a year. She seems to enjoy eating it as well.

Natural Balance L.I.D. diets are widely available in pet shops and maybe a better fit for your budget if your cat does not need hydrolyzed food. The only carbohydrate source is green peas, although the meal is grain-free. Duck is the new protein, while green peas are the only carbohydrate source. Natural Balance guarantees your complete satisfaction, and this limited-ingredient diet will help you avoid common allergies while remaining on budget. The good news is that the purchasing of this food does not need veterinarian approval.

I feed these to my bengals as treats. They are on a raw diet and have sensitive tummies. These agree with them and work really well as treats for training them. Our fist Bengal also had a sensitive system and ended up on this as her main food. It was recommended by the vet.

Fancy Feast has launched a range of limited-ingredient cat snacks. Allows you to purchase beef, beef and crab, and salmon flavor as your cat likes. Well, this one is a beef taste treat formula that includes liver flavor, beef fat, and brewers yeast. Then you may pick which one your cat prefers.

I have two 11 year old cats and they absolutely loved these. They went crazy for these savory treats! I recommend!

This hydrolyzed protein diet for adult cats and growing kittens require a prescription from your veterinarian. Well, it’s low in allergens since it’s made for cats with food-allergic gastroenteritis or dermatitis, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, or pancreatitis.

This dry food plus a daily dose of Apoquel has been a lifesaver for my cat with allergies. I finally have found something that works for him. He only eats dry food and will eat this food without issue.

This limited-ingredient diet for indoor cats is high in protein from fish and carbohydrates from potatoes that are simple to digest. It contains LifeSource Bits, a proprietary blend of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that are essential for feline health.

My cat is allergic and hardly any food is chicken free. He loves this food and has stopped pulling out his hair from being allergic to chicken

This new protein—farm-raised rabbit—could be the solution for cats that like the texture of pâté and need to try a limited-ingredient diet devoid of chicken, beef, and fish. This dish is also dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free, potato-free, corn-free, wheat-free, and soy-free. It’s can food that is also available in two sizes: 3 ounces, and 5.5 ounces.

McGinnis is happily chowing down his rabbit pate. I don't think he knows that wild lynx catch and eat rabbit almost exclusively. He enjoys wild caught salmon treats, too. But he prefers his rabbit pate to fill his tummy.

by McGinnis

This limited-ingredient diet food provides a duck-and-potato option if you want to test how your cat reacts to a diet devoid of triggering proteins. There are no chicken, meat, dairy, eggs, grains, gluten, maize, wheat, soy, artificial flavors, or preservatives in this food.

I have been buying for years and only canned cat food Duck in particular, my cat can eat w/out breaking out. Excellent-she loves and keeps her healthy.

by kathy

This dry food for cats with allergies and sensitivities has venison as the only animal protein. Natural Balance also sells canned wet food with a venison-based formula. Venison, like other new proteins, is an excellent alternative for meats that your cat may otherwise react to.

Ingredients seem to be the best and healthy for my cat, she has extremely bad allergies and itches and scratched and licked her skin and fur to a horrible condition and since switching to this healthy version she seems to be doing a lot better. Definitely won’t be going back to the cheap unhealthy ones, and also the price is definitely worth it!
