I am sorry to hear about Kitty, that sounds so frustrating! So unfortunately the over the counter diets with limited ingredients are not as good as the prescription diets. The reason for this is that the over the counter foods are processed in the same facitilities and sometimes the same equipment as other foods, so some cross contamination does occur. In some pets the small contamination might not be a big deal, in others is can. Think of people with a severe peanut allergy that can't eat anything that says "processed in a plant that also processes peanuts". When they have done studies checking the foods, they can detect other ingredients in those foods. I would let your vet know that Kitty doesn't like the Royal Canin diet. There may be other prescription diet options available from your vet, or your vet may feel comfortable trying the Natural Balance diet in her situation.

Hello, if you could recall the protein source or flavor of the food they really liked and had little to no digestive issues, then I would try something similar to that. Certain cats can have reactions to different kind of proteins and ingredients, so offering a novel protein (fish, duck, venison, lamb), limited ingredient (sweet potato, peas) diet is likely the best way to approach her GI issues. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Great question! I recommend Hill's Science Diet Healthy Cuisine Kitten Roasted Chicken & Rice Medley Canned Cat Food. It's really good for a sensitive tummy but is still formulated for kittens. I hope this helps!

There are many 'sensitive' ranges available but there is no way we can predict or guarantee that any one of them would automatically suit Bam. It is best to speak to your local vets office and pet store to try and find a food which is available in your area and within budget. Look for a food with limited ingredients with a fixed formula (many cheaper ranges vary batch by batch by sourcing the cheapest ingredients at the time and are likely to cause relapse of symptoms). When transitioning diets in sensitive or picky patients, I recommend converting slowly over 4-6weeks, slowly adding more and more new food. Keep a food diary to track what he is fed each day/week and any new signs or symptoms which may indicate he is not tolerating the new food. Be aware that return of previous symptoms may result in further vets bills and expense which may out weigh the savings!

I love Natural Balance and am really surprised that it caused an upset tummy. As far as flavor goes, most of my patients like the venison and sweet potato the best. If she has skin allergies you want to stay away from the chicken and beef as most dogs are allergic to these. You could try Fromm's which is a little more expensive but a good food. Another option is to do a hypoallergenic diet that is prescribed by your vet. Always slowly mix the old food with the new food to help transition. I hope this helps!
