Pets can have food allergies?

What about our pets?

My kitten Sam (now 7 mo, then 3 mo) was in vet hospital 2x this past year for inflamed intestines. After much experimentation, medications and doctor visits/phone calls it was realized that she was allergic to grain&gluten. Most cat foods are made with some type of grain product, not just wheat but rice or oat just to name a couple. Some cats, like us, have negative digestive reactions to either gluten or grain. Little Sambo is allergic. Luckily Simply Nourish located at Petsmart has a Gluten&Grain free cat food with Sweet Potato & Salmon. It is important to know that even prescription cat foods structured for feline digestive issues are made with grains. Not all digestive issues are resultant of a grain allergy. However in my case the prescription cat food was useless. Only when I went on a grain free diet did Sam improve. Interesting. Thought I would share.
