Hi everybody
So I have cats, one has asthma and the other has allergies both are around 7 months old, very playful. The vet recommended to change their food to hypoallergenic kind, in order to discard food as the origin for asthma (as a consequence of being triggered by an allergy) and the other one's skin rash allergy. Since changing to novel protein did not seem to make much of a difference.
So I compared Royal Canin Hypo and Hill's Z/D and decided for z/d, since the hydrolyzed protein source is chicken liver, vs soy from Royal Canin.
Here is my problem, there are no feeding recommendations for kittens, both weight around 7 lbs, and the bag says to feed each 1/2 cup, but that seems too little no?
Most foods say, for kittens feed double, can i just do that? We will determine if it is the food in 6 to 8 weeks, so the change might not be permanent. I don't want to supplement because the supp might trigger the allergy and I will never know.
Food says 398 Kcal ME/cup, 3797 Kcal ME/kg
Crued protein 8%
Crude fat 12%
Thanks in advance guys!
