Hi all, my male cat Milo has been licking his belly almost raw for a couple of years. Now he licks to the point he has sores. I read online that it could be an indication that it is an allergy to chicken. So, I have been eliminating chicken from his diet. It is nearly impossible because he loves Fancy Feast gravy lovers (I have tried grain free alternatives and this cat, who eats everything, hates grain free wet food, he likes his gravy). I also feed him Beyond grain free dry food. He loves this. And I was surprised when I discovered that the turkey and beef fancy feast has chicken in it. And that all of the Beyond dry food has chicken regardless of the flavor listed on the back. Also his favorite treat is Purebites chicken.
I don't know what to do, because his sister liked the Merrick's rabbit, but I had to stop feeding it to both of them because they starting vomiting this winter and after a $1k vet bill, I won't be using Merrick's or any other rabbit. If they eat rabbit it will be because they caught one in the yard.
I want to eliminate all chicken from his diet, but keep the food closer to what cat's would eat in the wild. I appreciate any tips on brands I can purchase in the USA. I tend to bulk order from Chewy.com, but I will go a store to try brands to see which one they will like. They are both 7 and are starting to get real finicky about what they eat.
Thanks
