Wet or Dry Cat Food?

I don't know why your vet would say such a thing. They probably ment that some wet cat food (like dry food) is junk food. If you buy high quality dry cat food and wet of the same brand, then it is not junk food. However, if you buy dry food made with meat by-products and wet of the same brand, then yes they are junk food. You car actually should be eating the dry and wet food (gradually introduce the wet like you would do any food change) because as cats age they drink less water which causes them to die of kidney failure. Having the wet food in their diet prevents this from happening.

Hi there...ideally both are good for cats as each has advantages as well as disadvantages. Dry food is helpful to scrape away the plaque buildup on teeth, however dry foods are one of the leading factors contributing to feline obesity because they contain the ingredient corn or corn meal which is used as a filler to keep the cost of manufacturing affordable for the consumer. Dry foods were solely invented for the convenience of the consumer rather than for the cats health benefits. Cats are obligate carnivores and dry food can be hard to digest and absorb as well as wet foods. Dry foods also raises urine pH to be more alkaline for those cats who have problems with lower urinary tract disorders where wet foods acidify the urine (like cranberry juice does for humans) so ideally wet is better with regards to urinary disorders.

No, I don't think so. I fed my cats mostly wet food. But now that I have 3 it is so hard to keep food in the house for them. So, I switched to dry with wet as a treat. They weren't too crazy about the idea at first. But eventually my babies grew to like it.

I have 3 young female cats. I give them dry food. It is always in their bowls. At night I split one can or wet between them. They just love it. I don't know how long I will do this. If quit they won't be happy.

I have 3 cats so I use dry, As a treat for the them I will get a few cans and they really like it but it sometimes causes them diarrhea. They love the dry food in fish like formulas. I would give it try, I thought my youngest cat would be bored with it and she totally loves it,and almost gorges herself on it! Hope this helps

Polly i use to be a vet assistant, canned cat food is made from 90 % water believe it or not, and they do say it's not as good as dry food, i give mine dry food in the mornings and at night and for a treat during the day i give then a little canned food, the dry food i stick to the same make but just buy different flavors each weeks, i.e one week salmon (their favorite) the following week beef or chicken. And as extra treats i buy them whiskas treat sweets....and yes my cats are totally spolied

My cat has eaten the same dry, boring cat food for years and has not complained a bit. The only time he griped is when they were out of his normal brand and we bought him something different. I think they like boring food. lol

When my kittens were just getting off their mom's, and after we got them, I gave them wet cat food. After about 2 or 3 weeks, they started getting dry cat food moistened with milk or water. Once they got completely off the milk moistened dry food, I would switch them to complete dry food.

my cat eat all, dry in the morning, and wet for dinner, and sometimes he find their meal by himself :D
