Food intolerance in cats and dogs
Food intolerances are not just confined to humans, as pets can also be sensitive to different food types. With this in mind, Vetpharmacy.co.uk now stocks the James Wellbeloved range of hypoallergenic cat food and dog food.
Food intolerances are believed to affect around 5-10% of all pets. However, pet food intolerances can be extremely difficult to diagnose, as the symptoms can often also be minor illnesses in themselves. Common symptoms of food intolerance include vomiting, eczema, diarrhoea and lethargy, all of which, in addition to being minor health complaints in their own right, can be attributed to a whole host of different illnesses.
The large majority of pets that suffer from food intolerances are only hypersensitive to a couple of food types. Some of the most common food intolerances in cats and dogs are caused by just a handful of ingredients, these include: wheat (or wheat gluten); eggs; dairy; soya; beef and pork. Some rarer pet food intolerances can also be caused by the additives that can be found in some pet food brands.
James Wellbeloved cat food and dog food is hypoallergenic, as it avoids many of the ingredients that cause food intolerances: beef; pork; wheat; wheat gluten; soya; eggs; and dairy. Every James Wellbeloved product contains a full list of all the ingredients on the packet, so that it is easy to keep track of exactly what your pet is eating. These hypoallergenic pet foods also contain no added flavours, preservatives or colours, which could also help to keep your pet calmer.
If your cat or dog has, or you believe it to have a food intolerance, then James Wellbeloved pet food is the perfect solution, as it avoids many of the foods that pets are sensitive to, as well as avoiding added preservatives, colours and flavourings.
