I've switched my Abby from eating half dry, half wet, to eating all wet (Wellness and Blue Buffalo). I was feeding her a half cup of high-protein dry (Blue Wilderness) per day, but it's too calorie-dense for her, and she's been gaining weight. I've done a lot of research, and I'm sold on the benefits of feeding wet only. The transition went very well. She's still a little perplexed that dry isn't available all the time, but she eats her wet food with gusto. I also give a few pieces of dry every day as a treat.
My main question is about being away from home for a few days at a time. Those of you who feed all wet, how do you handle these situations? We've only had Abby for three months, and she's very skittish around people she doesn't know (which is pretty much everyone but me and my husband), and hides when strangers are in the house. This includes anyone who comes over once a day to scoop the litter and replenish the food while we're gone. She certainly won't eat in their presence, and any wet food would have to be left out for at least 12 hours at a time. Would it be detrimental to switch back to dry for a short period? Or has anyone here used wet food in timed feeders?
