| Recommended Food Click to the Right to get you there! |
Feeding a cat with IBD is extremely difficult given the enormous challenges of changing their foods, finding the right protein
source, trying not to irritate their GI tract or stomach, etc. The following is a list of foods, food companies and their websites to
give you a good head start. The company’s website usually provides you with ingredients, calories, etc. for each product. It's a
good idea to check these to make sure you're not giving your cat something they aren't supposed to have or they're getting enough
calories, etc. You can also go to their sites and plug in your area to see where you can buy their products. Ask your veterinarian
what your cat's dietary requirements and daily intake should be for your cat's illness.
These lists will be updated periodically so check back often. When a product is no longer available, has been recalled or pulled from
the shelves, has a new flavor or protein source coming out, we will try and add or change it as soon as possible. But please email us
with any news of these changes if you can, to keep us ahead of the game. Or if you have a food that works for your IBD kitty that
isn't on this list please share the information with us and we'll be happy to post it to share with others.We're including canned, dry
and raw foods in these lists as well as some products that have a few ingredients we don't particularly care for. But as long as they
are tolerated by some IBD cats, we need to give them as many options as possible because they MUST eat. Be aware that certain
ingredients that are natural, can also be irritating to the GI tract and if you notice your cat doesn't tolerate that particular food
well, stop feeding it to them.
Learn to read food labels and recognize these as possible irritants: ginger, rosemary, clove, kelp & guar gum. Ingredients
to completely avoid if at all possible: whey, soy, corn, corn gluten, wheat, wheat gluten, barley, millet, dried
brewer's yeast, yeast, sugars & all sweeteners, salt (sodium), vegetable oil, syrup of any kind, carrageenan.
These will not affect every cat but it's better to know that these can be causes of GI distress in an already compromised system.
The goal is to switch from dry to wet foods but some cats absolutely won't have it. So we need to offer as many choices to stay
grain free and still provide something your cat will want to eat. Venison, lamb, rabbit and duck are all considered novel proteins
since they are ingredients not usually found in supermarket or large pet store varieties.
Other foods listed are to help all pet owners feed their cats a better quality pet food, even if they don't have IBD or GI problems.
Certain varieties of the products listed are purposely left out because of their ingredients such as grains, dairy or certain herbs and
spices that can irritate your cat's condition.
