Dried food

[WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere]

This is really on the back of the Whiskas thread but I didn't want it to get lost
My boy more or less lives off dry food. Go cat to be exact. I give him something as a treat. Usually meat such as raw or cooked chicken, I might give him a small amount of tuna or mackerel
I don't like how wet food rots their teeth and makes them greedy. I was worried by the comment in the whiskas thread about dry being bad for them. He drinks a lot of water. I even leave water in the bathroom sink overnight because he likes drinking there

Go Cat is particularly bad as it has barely any meat and is full of grains

Mine like dry (i give thrive and encore) and then have wet food twice a day ( a pouch shared between 2). The dry food is high meat and grain free.

They are nearly 9 and have perfect teeth.

Boy cats should have some form of wet food, they are really prone to urinary blockages
it doesn’t make them fat or greedy, it’s just food

My late girls wouldn’t eat wet food at all. They had good quality dry. And they were fine.

Our boy doesn’t love wet food. He gets Sheba (50g pouch morning and night) and a mix of Royal Canin and Go Cat biscuits. He would prefer to eat only Go Cat and nothing else, but we compromise - he doesn’t eat all the Sheba (but we tried every wet food on the market and it’s the one he eats most of), probably about 60% of each pouch. He does drink. Our vet is happy with him and his regime - if that changes we will look at alternatives.
