Cat and dog food used to be made with a lot of grains. A lot of wheat, rice, flour, oats went into dog and cat food. Although they have nutritional value, much of these grains were not really added for that purpose. Most of it was just to add bulk and to fill the cat food and to lower the meat content so that the pet food is cheaper to make. While this was great for the manufacturer to control cost, it was not a very good thing for many pets that have allergies.

Many cats have allergies to grains. A common reaction of allergic cats to high-grain diet is developing stones. It is not only painful for the cat, it is also a hassle for both the cat and its owner. Now there is a trend in cat food of banning grains from the formulation and not just that, offering different meats that do not trigger allergic reactions. Some cats are allergic to beef, lamb, chicken, pork and standard meat like that. The Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck Cat food from Pet Store is formulated with these two concerns in mind--grain allergies and standard meat allergies.

Made from green pea and duck, this formulation is allergen free so cats that were allergic to grains and beef or pork can enjoy this tasty food and not have to worry about irritable bowel, diarrhea, stones and other common problems that are linked to an allergenic diet. This cat food is also fortified with taurine. Taurine is a crucial supplement for cats because it helps regulate normal heart processes and eyesight, so it helps to maintain their excellent vision.

It also has a good omega-3 profile so it is good for the heart. If you are looking for an allergen-free alternative to standard cat food, try Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck Cat.
