IBD/IBSUpdated 14 days ago

Managing Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in cats often involves careful dietary choices. At Untamed, we've designed our food with digestive sensitivity in mind, making it a suitable option for many cats experiencing these conditions.

Here's why Untamed can be a good choice:

  • Minimally Processed: Our recipes are gently cooked and minimally processed, which can be easier on a sensitive digestive system compared to highly processed foods.
  • Free from Common Allergens: We deliberately exclude ingredients that are frequent triggers for sensitivities, such as grains, vegetable fillers, animal by-products, derivatives, and artificial additives.
  • High Moisture Content: Our wet food is naturally high in moisture, which is crucial for digestive health and hydration, especially for cats with bowel issues.
  • High-Quality Protein: Our recipes are made with 60% whole, human-grade meat, ensuring easily digestible protein sources. The rest is nutritious cooking broth, alongside essential minerals and Taurine.

Our Recommendations for Sensitive Bellies:

For cats that are particularly sensitive, we often recommend starting with our single-protein-source recipes, such as our Chicken Breast or Wild Tuna lines. These can help simplify the diet, making it easier to identify or avoid specific triggers. However, we've had positive results across our entire range with many cats experiencing intolerances!

A Gentle Transition is Key:

Regardless of the recipe, we always recommend introducing Untamed food gradually to your cat over a period of a week or even longer. Cats, especially those with sensitive or "excitable" digestive systems, need time to adjust to any dietary changes to avoid upset.

As with any medical condition, while Untamed is formulated to be gentle, we always advise that you consult with your veterinarian regarding your cat's specific dietary needs for IBD/IBS. They can provide tailored advice and monitor your cat's response to any new diet.
