Dry or Wet: Which Food to Choose for Your Cat
Just like people, our smaller brothers need a balanced diet that contains the necessary amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins.
Therefore, it is worth immediately drawing the attention of pet owners to the fact that the use of cheap, which often means low-quality, food can negatively affect the functioning of the kidneys, teeth and physical activity of the pet.
Another important point: if you decide to feed your cat ready-made food from the store, you should not offer her homemade food as well - this threatens overeating and obesity of your pet.
Now that we have discussed the “secondary” issues, let’s move on to the main thing: which food – dry or wet – is better to choose for your pet.
In fact, there is no clear answer - you can feed your pet exclusively dry food or combine it with wet food - the main thing is that they are from the same manufacturer.
Dry food is more beneficial for teeth, since chewing “automatically” cleans them, and for digestion, since it contains a lot of fiber.
Important point: as a rule, dry food is more caloric than wet food, so when calculating the daily dose for a cat, carefully read the information from the manufacturer indicated on the packaging.
And one more thing: if you feed only dry food, make sure that your furry pet always has access to clean drinking water.
