Cons and what to keep in mind
- Salmon is only oil. The main proteins are turkey and chicken, not fish.
- Not for chicken allergy. Chicken is a main ingredient.
- Legumes. Peas and chickpeas make up 27%.
- Not a therapeutic diet. With chronic diarrhoea or vomiting, see a vet first.
When digestion is a reason to see a vet
A sensitive-digestion food helps with mild problems: occasional soft stools or the odd regurgitation. If vomiting happens more than once a week, diarrhoea lasts more than a couple of days, or the cat loses weight or is lethargic, it needs an exam: causes include worms, bowel inflammation, kidney disease and food allergy. For allergy, a vet may prescribe a therapeutic diet such as Brit VD Hypoallergenic Cat.
Vomiting hairballs
Some regurgitation in cats is caused not by food but by hair swallowed while grooming. Regular brushing, especially during shedding, and hairball pastes help. More in hairballs in cats: what to do.
How to switch
A gradual switch is especially important for sensitive cats: 7–10 days, starting with 20–25% new food. Feed 3–4 small meals a day — large portions are more likely to cause regurgitation. If your cat gulps food, try a slow-feeder bowl or scatter the food in different places. Avoid table scraps and milk — they often trigger upsets. More in how to switch your pet to a new food and foods cats must not eat.
Who it suits
Adult cats over a year old with sensitive digestion, soft stools, a tendency to regurgitate or a fussy appetite. Other foods are in dry cat food.
Verdict
Brit Care Cat GF Sensitive Digestion is a grain-free food with turkey and chicken, chicory, prebiotics and a probiotic that gently supports digestion and appeals to fussy cats. With a chicken allergy or serious GI problems, choose differently and consult a vet.
