How a Sensitive Stomach Affects Cats
Food intolerances can lead to dull fur and bad skin. However, only in around a quarter of cases an intolerance can cause repeated vomiting and/or diarrhoea. It’s important to differentiate intolerance from a real allergy, i.e. a reaction triggered by the immune system.
Food for Overweight Cats
It’s not just people who are becoming increasingly larger – our cats are suffering too! For this natural predator, normally so agile and flexible, being overweight can be just as dangerous as it is for humans. Too much feline flab overloads the joints, as well as disrupting the metabolism.

What should be considered when using vet food for cats?

For the duration of feeding the vet food to your cat, the vet should be regularly monitoring it. This is important to ensure that the food achieves the desired effect and is tolerated well by your cat.
