I'm not talking about brand names here -- I don't care for product placement
What I'm looking for is whether or not you feed your cat dry food or canned food and why?
I've been recommended by vets to feed exclusively dry food, but I do give our cats some canned food occasionally as a treat (and it helped me to "catch" Molly, too). However, Reagan has had a shedding problem that I believe was either related to a food allergy (we changed her food) or has something to do with needing more oils and fats in her diet. As she had no other signs of poor health, we didn't take her to the vet
but the change in food seems to have done the trick -- except that now we're dealing with dry skin due to the onset of colder weather and running the furnace *sigh*.
I would like to introduce some fish-based canned foods into her diet to see if the fatty acids might not help with her skin. Of course I can and will, if necessary, ask the vet about this issue, but I thought I'd bring it here first to see what your opinions were, considering the cost of an office visit just to ask some questions about food, especially given that her heath is *improving*
