The vet thinks Marley may have an allergy to chicken. Great. Almost all cat food has chicken! Well, today we bought this brand: Fromm in the salmon flavor because it's almost chicken-free (has cartilage). I've been doing a search on the web for cat foods, but can anyone recommend or suggest a brand? This was the only dry I found that was nearly chicken-free and the canned didn't offer much hope either. Only 2 flavors available: beef and tuna.

Thanks in advance! :)

I am not really sure what to tell ya LIZ, there really isn't many brands of food wet or dry that is Chicken free!!!!!

:wave:

did you do a search for "chicken-free cat food"?

I'm not having any luck on the internet.

I am trying Liz but this is all that I can find

Thanks Jackie. :) I read somewhere chicken allergies are rare? Like 3% in cats. :wha: I found a brand called Wysong I may check out, too. They have lamb & rice mixes.

I've never used Wysong, but I've heard they're pretty good. Good luck with your search. :hug:

I have a friend who has a cat with horrible allergies, one of which is to chicken. He gets horrible sores all over his body. I'll e-mail her to see what she feeds her boy and let you know what she says.

Thanks JJ! :)

Okay, my friend recommended either Natural Balance Venison and Pea food (found at PetCo, Pet Supplies Plus, etc. but not PetSmart), or the non-chicken Fromm products.

Thanks JJ! I have them on the Fromm Salmon & Veg right now, but I wanted more variety for them.

:wave:

I don't think cats/dogs need much variety; as long as you get Marley to accept the non-chicken food, I think you're good!!! That's the only way you can see if he has a chicken allergy.

Good luck Liz....I want you to keep your kits! :kittyluv:

Is the allergy chicken-specific or all poultry? I don't really have any recommendations, I am just curious! ;)

Gaby, I just like to keep them interested and I heard giving them a little variety helps keep them from becomming too picky and fixated on kind of food. :)

Mel, I don't know, actually! Yarot said the vet mentioned chicken. I feed my cats Royal Canin, which is made primarily of chicken.

:pullhair: They liked the Fromm Salmon & Veggie, but I was low and decided to try the Wysong Anergen with lamb & rice. I mixed the two and NONE of them will eat anymore! I cannot go out and spend more money on food, as I've already been spending more looking for products NOT on the recall list, and looking for chicken-free food for Marley. We also had to buy the Prescription Diet T/D and upped the canned food, which is expensive (we went to Merrick). Will they eventually eat it?? I just can't believe all 3 won't touch it! Sasha just picks the T/D out of all 3 bowls. :rotfl:

Elizabeth, is it going any better?

Yes, they are FINALLY eating the food. :rotfl: I was worried I was going to have skinny kitties! Well, Jones needs to lose some pounds. :duh:
