I just can't believe it!

So to resume the site now it's good to give cats wet food and the dental problems is not true at all.

Maybe they found out people were changing their minds to wet food /dry food and they saw it as a marketing issue?

I'm just still not believing it!

I don't even know if royal canin wet food is good or not.

What do you think?

This is from the Canadian site (March 2014): Why Wet?

Other than the prescription RC "Urinary SO" I haven't fed any of the RC wet foods.

I'm personally not a huge fan of royal canin's ingredients. Having said that, I feed a small amount of their urinary s/o kibble to Shadow (he started on it years ago, before I knew the potential dangers of dry food with flutd cats. He mostly eats non prescription wet food though), and Asha had to be on their gastrointestinal wet for a short while.

I think it's inevitable that the website of any brand of pet food will sing their own praises. How could they do otherwise? They're hardly going to tell you that there a better foods out there

When it comes to feeding, I find its best to ignore the hype from the brands, and instead look at ingredients etc. I start by deciding what I am/am not happy to feed, and the shop by careful label reading. Technically, all complete foods are balanced and safe to feed, so it really comes down to individual views, budgets, animal preferances (if the cat won't eat it it's useless anyway)...you get the idea. Trust your own instincts, and the advice of people who's opinions you respect, then just do the best you can. As it's next to impossible to get unbiased qualified advice (most pet nutritionists are attached to one brand or another), then that's all you can do.
