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 long can wet cat food be left out?
Wet food is best lifted after an hour or two, and sooner on warm days when it dries out and attracts flies. Opened cans and trays should go in the fridge, covered, and be used within the time stated on the pack.
Why does my cat only lick the gravy?
Many cats like the flavour and texture of gravy or jelly more than the chunks. Try a pâté or loaf texture, where there is nothing to separate, or a different chunk size. Make sure the leftovers are not the reason your cat is underfed overall.
