http://www.catster.com/answers/question/age_old_question_wet_vs_dry-36153 i know this question has been asked a million times, but what is better for your cat, wet or dry food? i have been feeding each of my kitties a 3 oz. can of wet in the morning, and then 1/3 of a cup of dry in the evening. i don't know if i should switch to all one kind, or keep it the way i've been doing it. also, i would love some input on what you all feed your cats (wet vs. dry). thanks!

Wet food better replicates what cats would eat in the wild. Dry food is highly processed, and most contain lots of grains/carbs and lack moisture which cats need. There are a number of diseases which dry food may exacerbate - I'll give some links which discuss this more. My cat did fine on dry food until he developed diabetes at 12 years. There is this 'myth' that dry food cleans teeth. I don't buy it. Dental issues occur in many cats and most are dry fed. Dental disease has factors other than diet. Keep your cats teeth clean at home and professionally.

If you have to feed dry, the grain-free, higher protein brands are better.
