Cats can get allergies just like we do—and they can be just as miserable. Cats suffering from allergic reactions may lick or chew their itchy skin, suffer from vomiting or diarrhea, get red and itchy eyes, or experience difficulty breathing. The exact symptoms depend on what type of allergies your cat has, including environmental allergies, skin reactions to fleas and parasites, and allergies to foods.
Things to consider when buying allergy medication for cats:
Treating allergies often begins with preventing your cat from coming into contact with their allergens wherever possible. This might mean eliminating certain foods or switching grooming products. For some types of allergies, allergy shots or vaccines can help reduce symptoms.

The best prescription allergy medicine is the one your vet recommends for your kitty. Commonly prescribed medications include prednisolone, Atopica and Neo-Predef, but the right treatment will depend on what kind of allergies your cat has. Your vet may also have you try different products until you find one that works well.
The difference between over-the-counter and prescription allergy medicine is that you need a vet to prescribe the latter. The ingredients in prescription medications are more carefully controlled and regulated, so the dosing can be more precise and safer. Many prescription treatments are more effective than over the counter products, as well. Your vet can give you the most up-to-date information on what medications are designed to treat the allergies your cat has and which might work best for her.
Help treat your cat for allergies by using vet-approved flea and tick control, buying dust-free cat litter, and keeping your home clean and free of pollen, dust, smoke and other allergens. Bathing your cat may provide relief, and a healthy or hypoallergenic diet may help, too. Talk to your vet about more strategies for controlling your cat’s allergy symptoms and treatment regimens you can perform at home.
