Napoleon has an extremely sensitive tummy. He gets the runs quite a bit (especially after wet food, so no more for him) and we've eliminated parasites as a reason, so does anyone have any other suggestions as to what type of food you can feed a kitty with a sensitive tummy? Is there a brand name out there I should be looking out for? Thanks

You can feed him cooked rice and shredded chicken in the broth- this will help him firm up his stool

You can check out brands such as Natural Balance which has a venison and green pea dry (and wet) food - elminating many common food allergens.

More than likely, your kitty is reacting not to "wet food" per se, but something in the food you were using - could be chicken, corn, wheat, soy.

There are also "formulated for sensitive" stomach foods - I think Royal Canin actually has one. I'm not as fond of the ingredients lists of some of the brands of 'formulated for sensitive stomach" foods, but if they work well, good!


Natural Balance is one brand where I like the ingredients list very much

it comes in wet and dry .... the wet needs a bit of water or oil added according to my two
