Foods for sensitive tummies

[Complick8d]

A friend has 5 cats with sensitive tummies, one just diagnosed with crystals. The crystal kitty will obviously be on a diet of his own, but does anyone have any canned food recommendations for kitties with sensitive tummies.

Yikes, that is a lot of cats with sensitive stomachs. But, the best thing I know that I would try first would be to keep the cats off of any 'fishy' foods. Seems like my cats that are that way would vomit sometimes from too much fishy canned food, especially tuna.

I would keep with chicken or turkey as the main meat, if they were my cats. But, I am sure others will be on here to give you some ideas.

A cat with crystals, definitely should not have too much fishy food due to phosphorous levels, etc.

My Ketchie has Interstitial Cystitis, and I have had her mainly eating Fancy Feast turkey, chicken, and also it might be a good idea to not give foods with too many additives such as wheat gluten, etc. Also, adding water to the wet food might help with the cats too.

Your friend sure has her hands full! Good luck!

Thanks Jean. Based on what she's told me, I don't believe that they all have sensitive tummy's, I'm thinking it's more an issue of food quality.

Bix has one of those!!! The only LC food he has tolerated, of those I have tried, is Wellness. I alternate between the Turkey and the Chicken. All the cheaper foods seem to make him nauseous, so I am guessing it has to do with ingredient quality. I have no idea if that would carry over to other cats, it may have to do with their specific issues, which could be different than his...
