Veterinarian Dr. med. vet. Franziska G. explains: Gastrointestinal cat food
“Stomach problems in cats can be caused by a wide range of factors. They often occur when your cat eats something they shouldn’t. However, they can also be caused by diseases that disrupt your cat’s digestion. These include gastritis in cats or pancreatitis in cats, which should be treated by a vet.
If digestive problems remain untreated, this can lead to nutrient deficiencies and other consequences that can seriously endanger your cat’s health. Special gastrointestinal cat food can be either wet or dry and is characterised by easily digestible ingredients and the avoidance of irritating substances such as chemical additives.”

What soothes a cat’s stomach?
Along with food, the way you feed and care for your cat can influence their digestive health. Here are some useful tips on how you can relieve strain on your cat’s stomach:
Tip | Reason |
|---|---|
Gradual food transition | If you change anything in your cat’s diet, you should always make the food transition gradually over at least one week to avoid digestive problems. |
Small portions | To avoid overloading the stomach, it’s advisable to give several small portions rather than one large one. |
Reduce stress | Physical and mental exercise and a calm environment can help reduce your cat’s stress. |
No table scraps | Food intended for humans or table scraps can be indigestible or even toxic. |
