Turtle from Lily Pond -

I only give my cats wet food if I need to give them a pill or I'm in a very charitable mood. I leave dry food out for them and they do fine.
Is there any reason why one should be chosen over the other?

Comment #1 Goldie from Wisconsin -

The only reason I can think of is that the hard food helps to clean tarter off of the teeth. I had a cat that had to go in once a year for dental cleaning, but I always fed him dry food, but I wet it down. The vet told me that if I fed him canned food, I would probably have to bring him in more.

Comment #2 Turtle from Lily Pond -

You're so right about dry food being better for the teeth. Don't be fooled, though, and I don't know why your vet didn't tell you, your pet's teeth will still need cleaning at some point. ;-)

Comment #3 Whiskers from Guest Room Bed -

As long as your cats get plenty of water, then dry food is the better choice. It's less expensive and, has been pointed out already, better for their teeth.
Wet food vs dry for cats

Comment #4 Alice Jones (70.100.224.27) -

Sorry folks! Dry food helping to prevent tartar is pure myth. Even if YOUR vet has fallen for it...it's a bunch of bull. Check out further resources and studies and you will see! Dry pet food companies LOVE this myth.
Cats need wet food ONLY. Dry food is not good for them and leads to many dieases. (Diabetes, obesity, and kidney problems, to name a few.) Wetting dry food is VERRRRRRYYYY bad. Bacteria develops from the crap they put on it. They take animal digest products and coat the kibble to make it taste good. Junk food! And so cats eat too much.
I could go on!
Good luck out there!

My 16 yr old cat is drinking and urinating HUGE amounts, He eats mostly dry food and a little canned.
The vet has run a blood profile and urinanalysis and everything is normal but he has very few bowel movements, like every 3 or 4 days.
He is behaving normally, has a good appetite and is playful. Could he be drinking and eliminating so much because of the dry food?

Comment #6 Connie from Concord (24.63.37.188) -

I have no idea when these were posted, and I'm not a vet or a doctor, but based on my experience, a cat that is excessively thirsty and urinating frequently most likely has diabetes.
A high carbohaydrate diet of dry cat food will increase the blood sugar of your cat. Cats are carnivores and need to eat mostly meat.
I hope I am wrong, because treating diabetes is difficult. Good Luck.

Well I don't know about cats and dry/wet food, but my beagle seems to enjoy the wet food more.
She is a 10 year old beagle and for some time she was hardly eating the dry food we gave her. She started thinning up very fast. To see if she would like future canned food, we poured some of her dry food in a bowl and added water to get it soggy. We gave it to her to see what would happen, and she ate the entire bowl of soggy food. She's been eating more and more of it now, so maybe others should try that before switching to the canned food.
