Food intolerance refers to all abnormal physiological reactions to the consumption of a food or food additive. A distinction is made between food allergies and food intolerances. A food allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to certain proteins. The reaction to food intolerances, on the other hand, occurs without the involvement of the immune system. Both food allergies and food intolerances can lead to skin and digestive problems, such as itching and diarrhoea. It can often be necessary to carry out an elimination diet to determine a food intolerance. The prerequisite is a food that contains a selected protein source and as few different ingredients as possible. Skin problems are not only the most common consequence of food intolerances, but also of flea saliva and environmental allergies. To optimally support skin function, food should contain high-quality fatty acids. How does Concept for Life Veterinary Diet Hypoallergenic Turkey support your cat?

Common questions
How many pouches a day should my cat have?
It depends on the food’s energy content and your cat’s weight, so use the feeding table on the pack. Most brands give one figure for feeding only wet food and another for mixing with dry. Weigh your cat every few weeks and adjust if it is gaining or losing weight.
Is wet food better than dry food for cats?
Neither is better in every case, as long as the food is complete. Wet food supplies a lot of water, which helps cats that drink little, while dry food is cheaper and convenient. Many owners feed a mix. If your cat has a urinary or kidney problem, ask your vet which they recommend.
