That's true. If he gets used to FF as a wet food, you can always add good food to the FF - sort of trick him into eating better food.Originally Posted by purrrplej
Well, I kind of figured I'd try Fancy Feast because he turned up his nose at other wet foods I had given him, and I thought Fancy Feast, being so "likable," would be a safer bet... and I was right. I thought maybe if I could get him into the wet-food habit with the Fancy Feast, then I might be able to switch him to a higher-quality wet food later.
In any event, he doesn't eat much of the Fancy Feast at one time, so it's more a treat than a big staple of his diet.
It took me ages to find a wet my 2 would eat. Finally got it narrowed down to 2 flavours of Merricks - Granny's Pot Pie and Thanksgiving Day Dinner. That's it - they won't touch anything else. But to answer your question, yes, any wet is better than no wet at all as long as they are getting the good dry that you are feeding.Originally Posted by zoeysmom
Since we're on the subject, is it really true that "any wet is better than no wet at all"?
I've tried the kittens on several high quality wet foods and they don't show much interest. I've looked at some of the grocery store brands, and they all seem to have things I have learned to avoid: unnamed by-products, wheat gluten, artificial colours. I have a hard time thinking that feeding them that is better than feeding them their high quality dry (Wellness/Orijen). Since, if they ate the lower quality wet, they'd likely eat less of the good stuff. It seems counterproductive.
