Help me understand - Wet vs Dry food

[jack31]

As someone who never bought the same bag of food twice I can tell you that as long as you do a gradual switch from one to the next over a week your cat should do just fine.

As for asking questions that have already been asked, dont' worry about it, there are always new members here that are able to give new opinions and viewpoints so sometimes even after reading past information its still worth your while to ask the question again.

Thats the great thing about TCS everyone is here to better the lives of their cats!

Does that price include the additives needed to make the raw a complete and healthy diet?

FYI, I have sent the link to this thread to my husband so we can make a family decision about this. For the fish, I just change stuff whenever I want to, for the cats, it's better to get the committee involved. Thanks for all your input!

This will actually depend on your cat. Most folks recommend a gradual changeover for dry food - wet food usually isn't a problem.

I've been fortunate in that I've switched dry food for Bijou and Mika abruptly with no issues whatsoever.

Your post is very helpful. I have 3 cats, a short-coat, a med-coat and a long-coat. I've been feeding them a mixture of 1/2 Felidae and 1/2 Whatever-is-on-sale Purina.
Could you please recommend something in between price-wise. Thanks.
