How do you diagnose an allergy or intolerance?
The gold standard for determining or ruling out a food allergy is what is known as the elimination diet (often also called exclusion diet). During an elimination diet, the diet is deliberately kept very simple: the classic main allergens such as chicken, turkey and beef are avoided and instead a meat source is fed that the cat has never eaten before.
Finest menus in highest quality based on nature’s recipe
With their 90 % fresh muscle meat and valuable offal, the grain-free Terra Felis menus offer a very high proportion of meat. This supplies the cat, as a pure carnivore, the important omega-6 fatty acids and the large quantity of animal protein it needs for energy production and all metabolic processes. To ensure healthy intestinal function and intestinal peristalsis, the cat needs a small amount of fibre. All Terra Felis menus are therefore supplemented with a selected vegetable and catnip. The meals are rounded off with the addition of taurine and rapeseed oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Only ingredients in 100 % human-grade quality are used. This quality and freshness is reflected in the exceptionally appetising and exquisite smell of the menus and leads to good acceptance among cats.
