 |  |  |  | KC, while canned food is better for CRF kitties due to its higher moisture content, Alaidh didn't do well on only canned.
I was taking her to one vet when we moved to BC who told me to put her on only canned, but not only did she not eat enough, her skin got really dry and she was constipated. I became very unhappy with that vet and switched to one I'm very happy with. She told me that if Alaidh likes the dry, to let her graze on it during the day, as well as giving her the canned. Because of the higher oil content in the dry food, her skin condition cleared up almost completely and she had much less trouble with constipation.
So, basically, it all depends on the kitty. And really, if all your CRF kitty will eat is dry, it's certainly better than nothing at all!
