My cat is vomiting. Can food sensitivities appear even at 2 years old?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 6 lbs

My 2 year old cat has been intermittently vomiting for last 6 weeks. Vets did tests and gave famotidine but she is still vomiting. Now they say it's her food even though she's had a meeting thing site a kitten

Hello. Food sensitivities can develop at any age, so it is still possible. Plus, pet food manufacturers can change formulations or switch where they buy their raw ingredients & never indicate this on their labels. All they need to say is the current batch of food meets certain basic requirements. I might try Lulu on one of the limited ingredient novel protein diets. A couple you might consider include Natural Balance & Blue Basics Limited Ingredient Cat Foods. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
