"Why does my cat keep scratching?" When it's not the fleas that are to blame, but the bowl (about food allergies)
Have you ever seen your cat licking its belly at night, scratching its ears, or suddenly vomiting for no apparent reason? When parasites are not present, a common “invisible” cause is a food sensitivity or allergy . The good news is: nutrition is not the problem, but the solution. Discover SPECIFIC FDD-HY – a complete dietetic cat food designed specifically for such situations.
How to recognize that you may have a food allergy?
- Persistent itching, especially in the face, neck, and ear areas; recurrent ear infections.
- Digestive problems: vomiting, soft stools or diarrhea, abdominal tenderness.
- Excessive licking, hair loss, skin redness or scabs.
These symptoms do not necessarily mean an allergy, but if they recur, it is worth trying an elimination diet with hydrolyzed proteins.
What makes SPECIFIC FDD-HY stand out?
- Hydrolyzed animal proteins – broken down into small particles so that the immune system does not “recognize” them and cause a reaction.
- Limited ingredient list – fewer potential allergens, clear composition.
- Complete formula – for daily feeding, balanced nutrients for skin, coat and digestion.
- Excellent palatability – easy to switch from old food while maintaining your cat's appetite.
How to use FDD-HY correctly (elimination plan)
- Period: Feed only FDD-HY for 3-8 weeks. No other food, treats or dairy products.
- Transition: Mix with old feed for 3-5 days (increase the FDD-HY portion along the way).
- Evaluation: Improvement is often seen within 2-4 weeks. If symptoms resolve, FDD-HY can be continued as a daily feed.
- Water: Fresh drinking water should always be available.
When to contact a veterinarian?
If your cat is scratching excessively, losing weight, has blood in their stool, or symptoms persist after 4-6 weeks of dieting, veterinary consultation is necessary. Sometimes additional skin or digestive tract diagnostics are needed.
FAQ
