Your cat's food and feeding schedule are the most trusted forms of ritual in their life! Thus, changing up how or what you feed them can be a dramatic and even traumatic experience. This is why you want to speak with your veterinarian to discuss any potential food allergies or other issues. They can walk you through the challenges of identifying and dealing with food allergies if you and your cat do encounter them. While they are rarer than the current rash of hypoallergenic pet foods would suggest, food allergies and sensitivities are not uncommon. Allergy and sensitivity symptoms can range from mildly irritating to outright dangerous.

You do not need to pick a hypoallergenic cat food if your cat does not have an identified allergy or sensitivity! However, the limited ingredients in hypoallergenic cat food make it easier to get to the root of any adverse reactions your cat may have to their food. In addition, hypoallergenic cat food tends to be high-quality cat food due to the quality of the proteins included.
