Is it ok for them to just have dry food?

I have a year old cat. She is currently has Iams dry food down all the time and has a desert spoon of tesco tinned supermeat cat food morning and evening.

I am considering doing away with the meat as it stinks but I have no idea if she needs it?

My vet recommends Science diet dry food not sure if they work on commission though my cats really like it so will stick with it. They get the occasional pouch of food but its hit and miss as to whether they will eat it or turn their noses up!!

Most of ours have mostly dry with some wet.

Cat1 - 11yo with knackered dodgy kidneys gets mostly kidney friendly wet with a small amount of senior dry to bribe tempt her to eat it.

Cats 2&3 - 10yo - have senior dry in the morning and senior pouches with some dry in the evening.

Cats 4-7 (5yo, 4yo, 4yo, 2yo) get normal dry in the morning and normal canned with normal dry in the evenings.

We don't free feed as one of the 10yos is greedy has a tendency to over eat.

We have senior pouches and normal canned because DH (who does the feeding) is easily confused finds it hard to remember which is which.
