I purchased this food, which is natural and complete:

Lily’s Kitchen Tasty Cuts in Gravy Cat Food Chicken | Pets

I'm going to try and slowly introduced it, and see how he goes. He loves chicken as it's his favourite meat. He hates fish though and runs away from anything with fish. (The salmon oil I plan to introduce will be deep hidden in the food so hopefully he won't smell it)

I'll let you know how he goes.
It doesn't list the ingredients. Hope there is no fish added!

I've switched 1 of mine to Instinct Limited Ingredient Rabbit dry. Has to be dry for her gum allergies. She used to dig in her ears and the doc said aside from being irritated from that, there was nothing wrong with her ears. Might be allergies.
So we tried Zyrtec and it doesn't make a big difference. Switched her to the LI Rabbit and she hasn't messed with her ears this last week. She's doing really well and it's only been 2weeks

I'm sorry this happened. Did you find out what ingredient caused the allergies?

I'm too scared to give my cat dry food because dry food was one of the reasons he got blocked the vet said.

I did not.
I already knew she was allergic to fish and poultry. The food she was on before this was Essence Ranch and Meadow, which had all new and different proteins without the above ad well. Just rotten luck I have with mine. They do make a wet version on the Instinct LI Rabbit, but as expensive as the dry is, can't imagine how bad the wet is.😬

I'm just so glad you managed to find a food that doesn't cause allergies! Fingers crossed it stays that way for your baby.

Thanks for this, I'm definitely not going to try the BB.

Unfortunately, I'm from the UK so the Weruva brand isn't here.

I did suggest Lily's Kitchen above, if anyone can take a look at the ingredients please?
Since you are from the uk,may I suggest doing a search on here for UK? You might get more ideas of food to buy

Sorry, I didn't realise there was a UK section.
