Thanks for reaching out with your question! If your cat has been showing signs of allergies, choosing the right food can make a big difference in their comfort and health. Allergies in cats often manifest through symptoms like itchy skin, excessive grooming, ear infections, or gastrointestinal issues.
Cats can be allergic to various components in their food, including certain proteins or grains. One approach is to try a limited ingredient diet, which contains fewer components and can help identify what your cat might be allergic to. Novel protein diets, which use uncommon protein sources, are another good option for allergic cats. Grain-free diets are also available for cats sensitive to grains.
At home, you can carefully monitor your cat for any changes in their symptoms with new diets. It's important to transition gradually over 7-10 days to allow your cat's system to adjust. Watch out for signs of a more serious allergy, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or severe gastrointestinal distress, and seek veterinary help immediately if these occur.
To tailor a plan specific to your cat’s needs, consider booking a video consultation with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can provide personalized advice and help you determine the best dietary path for your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
