cat has allergies?

[Catlady711]

Thanks so much to the both of you for your help! I have the bag of royal canin green pea and rabbit but I don't know if I should start her on it or just keep her on the wellness, that way if she does start breaking out the vet can see what her bumps look like. It worries me that I can't find any reviews on that food, do you know anyone who has tried the royal canin limited ingredient diets? I'm going to call the dermatologist back on Monday to tell them if they have any cancellations to let us know so we can get him in sooner. I will keep you guys posted for sure! Thanks again for the help!

I've never personallly used the Pea and Rabbit formula, but I had Dusty on the Pea and Duck formula for a time as a diet elimination trial. She liked the food well enough, although in her case it turned out that she just had mental issues rather than a food allergy. We have some clients on Royal Canin vet diets our more popular ones being the one I had Dusty on and the Hypoallergenic 23 formula. We've had pretty good results with both if it did turn out to be a food allergy.

You need to pick one food (whether Wellness or the Royal Canin) and STICK WITH IT for 2 months minimum. The body can take up to 2 months to recover from an allergic reaction to something and if you're changing foods more often than that it will be impossible to know what's helping/hurting there.
