I used to feed my cats canned food years ago. (and dry too) I stopped feeding canned because it seemed like whenever my cats threw up it was the canned and it was such a pain to clean up. I also was under the impression that it was bad for the cat's teeth. And feeding dry food free choice seems very convenient. But now, reading all these uncomplimentary things about dry food makes me wonder if I should switch to canned.
For those of you who feed canned, how do you know how much canned to give each kitty at each feeding? Feeding the dry free choice is so easy. I would worry I was either feeding too much or too little at each feeding with the canned. What if you go on vacation? I have a friend take care of my cats and she comes in once a day to scoop litter, replenish water and dry food. If I switched to canned, would I have to have her come twice a day? (she's a busy person, seems like a lot)
I almost wish I had never read about this. I would have gone on, happily feeding my dry food and thinking it was great. :tounge2:
