Hello,
I recently tried Tiki Cat Sardines for a treat for our cat Buddy. He has at least one food allergy that we know of (chicken), and lots of pollen allergies.
He started scratching his ears again. I stopped giving him the Sardine treat (a little bit every other day or so - maybe a tablespoon) and it has subsided.
He is fine with tuna (back to Soulistic Lamb (it has tuna in it, but mostly Lamb) - he has had this for a one a week treat for a year with no issues. I stopped it a little while back to try the sardine.
The only thing I can find different in the ingredients in the Tiki Cat Sardines vs the Soulisitc lamb and tuna or any of the other foods Buddy gets is that the Tiki Cat Sardines has locust bean gum, and of course Sardines. Several of his regular foods have fish oil/salmon oil, and he has no issues.
Any thoughts - anyone that has a cat that is allergic to locust bean gum, or can it be possible he is allergic to the sardines but can handle salmon and tuna just fine?
