like i said - call & ask. if they say no, then either feed it till it's almost gone, then do a gradual switch, or donate it [if you're in a financial position to do so].

Laureen is spot-on. Some cats actually will not eat wet food so dry is certainly better than no food.

What everyone is trying to say is that wet food is better than dry but if you feed dry because your cat won't eat wet, or you can't afford to feed only wet, then get the best quality of dry that you can afford. Often brands overcharge for a lesser quality food and tout themselves as being better. The best thing is read labels, read some of the nutrition threads in here and you will have a better idea of foods and their worth.
