My 1 and a half year old male kitty is healthy (unlike his "sister"), and I would like to keep him that way. I feed him a couple of different high quality dry (IMO) foods, and I do feed him some canned as well. So far, so good. He is healthy and has a shiny plush coat. I know that he needs more moisture and should eat more canned. The problem is that he LOVES his kibble and is addicted to it. The only canned food that he seems to like is the Wellness sliced salmon. He will not eat pate and turns his nose up at the canned poultry varieties that I have offered too. I have never offered him any other fish because I am afraid of the mercury. Although the sliced salmon is the only wet that he does eat, he does not eat very much of it because he fills up on dry. This is probably my fault because I only started giving him canned food regularly about 6 months ago.
The dry food he eats has better proteins--turkey and duck. The canned salmon has fish, which is supposed to be not so good for male cats, but, like I said, it is the only wet that he will eat.
Which is the lesser of two evils--the dry food with the better proteins or the canned food with fish? I have heard that salmon may have less toxins than other fish. Is this true? I am not sure if Wellness uses farm-raised or wild caught salmon.
