Is Wet or Dry Cat Food Better?
Your cat will ultimately decide whether she prefers dry or wet cat food. Purina nutritionists, on the other hand, advise feeding a combination of wet and dry food. This ensures she gets enough moisture in her diet, as well as the dental benefits of dry food, while also adding variety to keep her interested.
Cats are neophiliacs, which means they enjoy trying new things. They may become bored with eating the same food in the same way day after day. Mixing wet and dry cat food for a meal or feeding them separately is a good way to provide your cat with the variety she not only wants but also requires.
Catering to your cat’s wants and needs strengthens your emotional bond. “My kitties love Fancy Feast already, and they quickly gobbled up the Creamy Delights!” wrote one reviewer. After this awesome treat, I got extra kitty love!”
Purchase Wet Cat Food
If you’ve never fed wet cat food before, look into the many options available from Purina. You may need to experiment with different brands until you find a couple that your cat enjoys. “There are hundreds—if not thousands—of good quality cat foods available at grocery stores, pet specialty stores, online, and through veterinarians,” Laflamme says.
It’s also a good idea to try various serving methods. Some cats prefer “fluffed” wet food served on a flat plate or wide, low-edged bowl. Others will eat directly from the can. Once you’ve found a food and serving method that your cat enjoys, she’ll eat a combination of wet and dry cat food on a regular basis.
