Feeding Cats with Food Allergies
At Marro, we understand that managing food allergies can feel stressful. We’re here to help you keep your cat healthy, happy, and thriving.
How Marro Supports Cats with Allergies
Single-Sourced Proteins: Lets you pinpoint potential allergens or avoid ones your cat is already sensitive to.
Unique Options: Scrumptious Pork and other novel proteins are safe and uncommon, making elimination trials easier.
No Common Triggers: Our meals contain no wheat, corn, soy, or added sugar, helping reduce the risk of reactions.
Flexible Trial Boxes: Tell us about known allergies when building your trial box, and we’ll avoid including those proteins.
Adjustable Recipes: Change your cat’s meals through your online account whenever you need.
Using Marro can simplify elimination trials, making it easier to identify problem proteins efficiently.
Signs Your Cat Might Have a Food Allergy
Skin & Coat:
Scratching or licking around the head, neck, ears, and face
Hair loss, scabs, or sores from grooming/scratching
Recurrent ear infections
Digestive Issues:
Vomiting, diarrhea, excessive gas
Weight loss or poor coat condition
Respiratory Signs:
Less common, but possible
What You Should Do
Consult your vet promptly for a full examination and review of medical history.
Rule out other causes before concluding a food allergy.
Elimination Trial Diet (8–12 weeks):
Remove all potential allergens, especially common proteins.
Introduce a novel protein your cat hasn’t eaten before.
Gradually reintroduce one protein at a time:
Use a single-protein pouch (chicken, turkey, fish, beef) exclusively for 8 weeks.
If symptoms appear, your cat may be allergic to that protein.
If no reaction occurs, that protein is safe.
Repeat with each protein to identify triggers.
