Virbac CAT HYPOALLERGY WITH FISH (A2) Dry Food 3 kg: Specialized Fish-Based Solution for Food Allergies

Food allergies or intolerances in cats can manifest as dermatological symptoms like itching, skin lesions, and hair loss, as well as gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhea. These conditions can negatively impact your cat's quality of life and require a specialized nutritional approach. Virbac CAT HYPOALLERGY WITH FISH (A2) Dry Food 3 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet scientifically formulated by veterinarians to meet the sensitive nutritional needs of cats diagnosed with food allergies or intolerances and to help control their symptoms. This food offers a limited and carefully selected ingredient list to minimize potential allergens.

Key Features & Benefits

• Single and Selected Protein Source: Contains hydrolyzed fish protein as the sole animal protein source to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. Fish is a less common allergen in cats, and the hydrolysis process breaks down proteins into smaller molecules that are less likely to trigger an allergic response.
• Single and Selected Carbohydrate Source: To further reduce potential allergens, it typically uses a single and limited carbohydrate source like tapioca or potato, avoiding common grain allergens.
• Skin and Coat Health Support: Contains optimized levels of essential fatty acids (especially Omega-3s and Omega-6s) to alleviate the effects of allergic reactions on the skin and support overall skin barrier health. This reduces itching and inflammation while improving coat luster.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients to optimize nutrient absorption and minimize digestive discomfort. This is particularly important for cats with gastrointestinal symptoms due to food intolerance.
• Gut Flora Support: May include prebiotics (FOS and MOS) to support a healthy gut microbiota. This improves intestinal health and contributes to overall digestive comfort.
• High Palatability and Acceptability: Formulated with high palatability to ensure your cat willingly consumes the food despite dietary restrictions. This improves compliance during long-term use, such as elimination diets.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it is complete and balanced to meet all your cat's essential nutritional needs, so additional supplements are generally not required.
