soy is an allergen in cats , can be the cause of gas and isnt a really digestable protein...


This is both personal experience and reading..

I had Zoey on a food with a little soy protein and her growth slowed and she pooped more... I wont say it is bad , it isnt like some things in cat food .. but I would place it in the I dont want my kid to eat it catagory
