Limited-ingredient cat food is formulated to meet your cat’s nutritional needs with fewer ingredients than the typical commercial cat food. If your cat has food allergies or sensitivities, simplifying their diet could help alleviate symptoms—the key is figuring out what ingredients are triggering a reaction so you can avoid them. When shopping for limited-ingredient cat food, here are some factors to consider:
Always consult your veterinarian before changing your cat’s diet. If your cat is suffering from skin problems, recurring infections, or digestive upset, it’s important to rule out underlying health conditions first. Your vet can help you determine whether limited-ingredient cat food is the right choice and, if so, what kind of product to consider. Once you’ve made your selection, take advantage of regularly scheduled deliveries with Chewy’s Autoship.
Limited-ingredient cat food is simply cat food formulated with fewer ingredients than standard commercial recipes. Many limited-ingredient diets contain one or two sources of protein and carbohydrates, enabling pet parents to choose a formula free from their cat’s specific trigger foods.
Vets may recommend limited-ingredient food for cats with suspected or diagnosed allergies and intolerances to certain ingredients. In some cases, vets recommend a temporary elimination diet to help confirm a diagnosis and identify specific allergens. Cats with unidentified or multiple allergies may benefit from long-term dietary management with nutritionally complete limited-ingredient cat food.
If your cat exhibits persistent skin problems, recurring ear infections, or chronic digestive issues that can’t be attributed to underlying health problems, your vet may recommend a limited-ingredient diet to rule out or confirm a diagnosis of food allergies or intolerance.
