Too Much Vitamin E in Cat Food? (Dry Food Problems You Should Know)

Okay, so, I’ve been feeding my cat this dry food for a while now, and I started noticing something weird. She was acting a little off, you know? Not her usual self. So, like any worried cat parent, I started doing some digging.

Too Much Vitamin E in Cat Food? (Dry Food Problems You Should Know)

It turns out, I was giving her dry cat food with too much vitamin E. I didn’t even know that was a thing! I mean, who knew there was a limit of vitamine e intake?

I was just buying what I thought was good quality food. This whole thing started because, well, I wanted the best for my furball. I saw this fancy-looking dry cat food at the store, and it looked amazing. Shiny bag, lots of promises about healthy fur and all that jazz. I figured, “Hey, why not?” and grabbed a bag.

For a few weeks, everything was fine. But then, like I said, she started acting weird. She was more tired than normal, and sometimes she wouldn’t even finish her food, which is super rare for her. So I picked up the cat food bag and read the label. I focused on the part about vitamine.

I went down the internet rabbit hole, reading about cat nutrition and all. Turns out it’s called Hypervitaminosis E, and my cat is definitely over the limit.

I immediately switched her back to her old food, you know, the boring, less shiny bag stuff. Took some time. Now, the situation is getting better slowly. She’s slowly getting back to her old self, thank goodness.

So, yeah, that’s my story about how I accidentally gave my cat too much vitamin E. Moral of the story? Read those labels, people! And don’t get sucked in by the fancy packaging, even in the case of vitamine. A hard lesson learned, for sure.

    Things I did in short:

  • Bought fancy cat food.
  • Noticed my cat was acting weird.
  • Read a lot about cat food online.
  • Found out about Hypervitaminosis E.
  • Switched back to the old food.
  • Monitored cat recovery.

Don’t make my mistake. Your cat will thank you for that.
