However, many pet foods also contain things that cats do not need. Wheat, corn and rice are commonly found in cat food. Cats do not need to consume carbohydrates. Some cats may be allergic to these ingredients. Your cat may also experience sensitivity to some of the fillers or preservatives used. If you think your feline is suffering from food allergies, you should consult your veterinarian right away. Your veterinarian can run tests and evaluate whether or not food allergies are actually an issue for your pet. Tags: Cat Health Food Allergies
