Does my cat need grain-free food? Are grains and white potatoes safe?

Question

Should cats be on a grain free diet, or are grains ok for them? What's better? Also are white potaoes ok? Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years and 3 months old | 17 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

There is no data or studies that show that cats need a grain free diet. The only reason this would be indicated is if you had allergy testing done on your cat and it was determined he/she was allergic to some type of grain. Otherwise, it is not necessary. White potatoes are OK if they are plain (no butter or spices). That being said, I don't know too many cats that will eat them. Just feeding a premium brand cat food should be enough.
