Your cat\u2019s food may also have common allergens in it, such as corn, wheat and soy. Foods that use chemical flavors and colors can also cause reactions in your cat&#8217;s system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2550 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/52.11.163.214\/patch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Wheat\" width=\"980\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/06\/zugr-108-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In cats, the most common allergic reaction to food is actually vomiting, but food allergies or a food intolerance can manifest themselves in a number of ways, including recurring ear infections and itching their ears. The more filler your cat\u2019s food has, the less actual nutrition they are getting out of it. This means that their system has to work extra hard to get the nutrition out of the food, leaving it less energy to contribute to other body functions such as a healthy immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Switching your cat to a high quality cat food with no  , no chemicals, no artificial colors and no grains will give your cat\u2019s system a chance to fight back against infections. Look for foods that use free range meats whenever possible. Did you know that free range meats contain higher levels of Omega 3 fatty acids? Omega fatty acids contribute to lowering inflammation in the body, which in turn can combat recurring ear infections and other skin problems.<\/p>\n<p>To check out our whole range of cat food, including foods made at our own plant in New Zealand, please visit<a title=\"Addiction Pet Foods\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addictionfoods.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Addiction Pet Foods<\/a>.
