Witch do you think is better dry cat food or wet cat food?

We fed our cats both, they would get dry food most of the time and wet food occasionally as a treat, they seemed to prefer the wet food but dry is better for their teeth. If you kitty is happy with dry food then all the better!

According to the 2 Breeders whom i get my kittens, Dry food is better than soft/wet. It contains more nutrients and is convenient to keep (bec its dry and does not spoil easily). Just be sure though to provide your cats enough fresh water. If possible at least 2 places of the house.

If you stop and think about it, wet food is closer to a cat's natural diet. Cats are carnivorous predators, and the diet that nature intended for them is raw meat. Raw meat is certainly not dried out and crunchy like dry kibble! Cats, by nature, do not have a very high thirst drive. This means that they do not have the urge to drink water frequently- they are supposed to get the majority of their moisture content from their food. Cats that are fed only dry food can become dehydrated. However, the main problem with commercial cat foods, whether wet or dry, is that they contain filler products like grains. Cat food manufacturers use grains because they are inexpensive and add bulk to the food. But a cat's natural diet does not include grains, and cats' digestive tracts are not designed to digest grains. Grains mostly pass through the cat's gut undigested, and the cat receives no nutrition from it at all. They might as well be eating cardboard. Whether you choose to feed your cat dry or wet food, you should try to find grain-free cat foods. My cat eats Indigo Moon Solid Gold dry food, which is the least expensive grain-free food I have found. I get it at Petco. I also feed my cat a portion of wet food every day so that she gets some moisture. Since I switched my cat to grain-free food, I have noticed that she has more energy, has maintained a healthier weight, and very rarely vomits or coughs up hairballs (she used to vomit at least once a week, probably due to the high grain content in her food that she couldn't digest). I highly recommend giving a grain-free diet a try for your cat.

I feed both. Canned food gives the cats extra moisture which they need in their diets. Also canned food provides extra nutrients and vitamins in their diets. Dry food helps keep the plaque on their teeth to a minimum, helps keep their teeth strong and is convenient for them to nibble on through the day. Try not to depend on one over the other as if they only eat dry food they have a bigger chance of developing a urinary tract infection. If they eat only wet food they can start to have teeth problems, including cavities and decay.

If he is eating his dry food, I would stick to it. I have read that wet food is not as good for the teeth and can cause them to become overweight.

We have had many cats over the years and have fed them mostly dry food. The two cats that we have now, though stay indoors all the time and one of them developed crystals in his urine that caused a bladder blockage. The vet said that it was due to the minerals in the dry food and now he is on a special diet of a prescription dry food. We never had any problem with our previous cats though

I give my cat both. She has dry food out all day if she's hungry, but in the morning and evening, I give her a little bit of the wet food for more nutrition. She's going to be 18 this year so as far as I'm concerned, she can have whatever her little heart desires right now. She's certainly entitled to it at her age. She does have some problems with her teeth too, so I've switched her over to kitty food which is much smaller in size so she can eat the dry food easier.

Cats tend to have teeth problems I think dry food helps them keep their teeth cleaner. There are some very high quality dry foods on the market.

I think it depends on the cat itself personally. Some cats like my cat precious can't handle dry food, so they need wet food. However we have both types in our household because we have a cat who would rather eat the dry. Most vets recommend dry food over wet food, claiming it helps clean their teeth in the process, but its not good for all cats. Cats with certain health problems related to the mouth, won't be able to eat dry food as well and it makes you wonder what gets digested. For Precious, I get him vita chews when I can and give them to him once and a while to help keep his teeth clean.
