Gluten free kitties! Ways to help reduce allergies and IBD in cats
Have you had a kitty that was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or perhaps frequent urinary tract infections? I own two cats that have both those diagnoses and have spent oodles of money trying to find holistic ways to help them. I would love to share my knowledge and help others navigate the crazy world of grain-free, "novel protein", allergy free diets. I am not a vet, but have done considerable research on how to help my cats feel better, along with how to spend less money to keep them healthy!
Please come with your own stories, experiences, and knowledge to share with others!
