Why your cat won't eat dry food: here's what to do

Dry cat food is a real find for pet owners. You don't need to cook or wash dishes. All you have to do is keep an eye on the supply of drinking water.
But sometimes all this joy is disrupted by the whims of a pet, who, for unknown reasons, suddenly refuses to eat the food.
Experts advise to understand the reasons. Much here can be connected with the age of the animal, as well as with where the animal got into the house from.
So, an adult cat or male cat may refuse dry food for a number of reasons and it is not always a disease.
First of all, habit
When a pet comes to you from someone else's home, if possible, you need to find out what the previous owners fed it. Perhaps it is simply not used to such a diet, since it ate more noble food.
It is almost impossible to eradicate the gastronomic habits of a picky animal. The only option is to use trial and error.
Secondly, the smell
It is possible that the cat did not like the smell coming from the food. This can happen to an animal that has been living a wild life for a long time and has been eating what was left from the owner's table or mice.
In this case, you will also have to choose another product.
Thirdly, consistency
It is quite possible that due to age-related characteristics the animal simply cannot consume this food. It may be very large or hard.
In other words, not the way your pet is ready to eat it.
