I've switched back to feeding my kitties wet food twice a day now in an effort to decrease their dry food consumption. Dory, the trooper, can eat anything and have perfect tootsie roll poops.
Josie, on the other hand, has had soft to runny poop since I adopted her in March. It's softer when she has more wet food. At this point, am I countering the health benefits of wet food if she always has soft stools? I'm afraid she isn't digesting and getting all the nutrients from her food if it "runs" through her. It's not diarrhea and she only goes once a day. But it is very squishy...
I'm feeding Innova chicken for dry and Innova chicken and just started mixing in Natural Balance Duck and Peas for wet. I also add in a small amount of digestive enzymes and probiotics into the wet.
Should I just call it a day and let them eat more dry food? For Josie's sake? Right now, they get about 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoon of wet food (with water) twice daily and slightly less than 1/2 a cup of dry. When I feed wet once a day, they get about 15% more dry food. They are 9 months old.
