🐾Benefits of wet cat food

1) Higher moisture content

Wet food typically contains ~70–80% water, which supports hydration, especially helpful for cats that don’t drink much.

2) Highly palatable

The aroma and soft texture make wet food appealing for picky eaters or cats with reduced appetites.

3) Supports urinary health

Extra moisture helps dilute urine, supporting kidney and bladder health as part of an overall balanced diet.

4) Easier to eat

Great for kittens, senior cats, or those with dental issues who may struggle with hard kibble.

🐾Benefits of dry cat food

1) Convenient & easy to store

Dry food is simple to portion, store, and can be left out a little longer without spoiling.

2) Supports dental hygiene

Crunching kibble can help reduce plaque build-up alongside regular tooth brushing and dental care.

3) More energy-dense

Higher calories per gram make it easier to meet energy needs with smaller portions.

4) Great for enrichment

Perfect for puzzle feeders and treat balls to encourage natural hunting behaviour and mental stimulation.

🐾Should I feed both wet and dry?

Many owners use a mixed feeding approach—offering both wet and dry daily—to get the best of both worlds:

• Hydration support from wet food
• Dental/enrichment benefits from dry food
• More flavour and texture variety to keep mealtimes exciting

🐾Choosing the best food for your cat

• Pick complete & balanced recipes with high-quality animal proteins.
• Avoid unnecessary fillers; check feeding guides and adjust to body condition.
• Consider life stage: kitten, adult, or senior.
• If your cat has health issues, ask your vet for tailored advice.

Wet vs. Dry Cat Food: FAQs

Do cats need wet food every day?

Not all cats need wet food daily, but many benefit from its moisture—especially if they drink little water or have urinary concerns.

Is a wet-only diet OK?

Yes—if it’s complete & balanced and portioned correctly. Many owners combine wet and dry for variety and enrichment.

Does dry food clean teeth?

Kibble can help reduce plaque, but it’s not a substitute for dental care. Regular brushing and vet checks matter most.

How do I switch foods without tummy upsets?

Transition gradually over 7 days, increasing the new food while reducing the old. Slow down if stools soften.
