Frequently Asked Questions about Dry Cat Foods for Sensitive Stomachs

Do dry cat food formulas for sensitive stomachs really help?

Dry cat food formulas for sensitive stomachs can often help cats with digestive issues. These formulas are often limited ingredient diets made without common "problem" ingredients that may trigger digestive sensitivities or allergies. They are often highly digestible and made with digestion-supporting ingredients like pre- and probiotics for improved gut function.

What should I look for in dry foods for cats with sensitive stomachs?

Look for limited ingredient formulas and digestion-supporting ingredients in dry foods for cats with sensitive stomachs. Dry foods made with probiotics, prebiotics, easy-to-digest proteins and no filler ingredients like corn, wheat or soy are usually best for cats with sensitive stomachs. Many brands make special sensitive stomach formulas for cats, so check to see if your cat's favorite brand has a sensitive stomach formula. You can also use the product filters on the Chewy site to find all the best dry foods for cats with sensitive stomachs.

Do vets recommend dry foods for cats with sensitive stomachs?

Many vets recommend both wet and dry foods for cats with sensitive stomachs.
