I recently bought a big 4kg bag of own brand dry cat food from Pets at Home for my lovely cat.
I was in a hurry, it was a good price and I assume Pets at Home products would be trustworthy.
After a couple of days of eating this my cat developed diarrhoea and very smelly farts! Having now checked the ingredients I can see it contains milk!
My cat is milk intolerant. I learned this last year, shortly after he came to live with me. I had given him a little cat treat which resulted in him having diarrhoea....which then caused a blocked anal gland.
He's been fine since then, until this recent Pets at home dry cat food. Obviously I won't give him anymore of it.
But I am confused because I thought that all cats are milk/lactose intolerant? And if that's the case, why do Pets at Home put milk in their standard cat food??! I know this is my fault for not checking the ingredients..... but I'm also a bit peed of with Pets at Home. I just can't understand why they would include an ingredient that is known to be bad for cats. I may complain, but I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable. What do you think?
