Royal Canin diet feline Sensitivity Control
Royal Canin Sensitivity Control SO feline diet is a highly digestible, hypoallergenic diet for kittens & cats.
Royal Canin Sensitivity Control SO has been formulated to assist in the management of dietary hypersensitivity and dietary intolerance. It is also suitable for the management of some types of diarrhoea and has been clinically proven to be effective in the dietary management of idiopathic chronic colitis, atopic dermatitis and acute gastroenteritis.
Dietary sensitivity is a term used to describe a clinically abnormal and immunological response to the ingestion of a particular food. When an immunological mechanism cannot be demonstrated, food intolerance is a more appropriate term.
Most basic food ingredients, including proteins, lipoproteins, glycoproteins, lipopolysaccharides, and carbohydrates, have the potential to induce an allergic response. However, proteins are most commonly implicated in dietary sensitivity in cats.
In cats, cow’s milk, beef, and cereal account for many reported cases. Dietary sensitivities manifest as dermatological or gastrointestinal signs. Some patients may manifest both gastrointestinal and dermatological signs.
The primary goal in the treatment of dietary sensitivity is to feed a diet which is balanced and which does not contain the offending allergen. A detailed diet history may be useful in identifying foods which have not previously been fed to the cat and may form the basis of an elimination diet which is "hypoallergenic" for that particular cat.
