Our family two cats currently live on high-quality, high-meat content dry food we get from a little shop area in our vet's office. Ozzie has lived on dry for years. Cleo was living on a mixture of wet and dry before we adopted her last month, and the organisation we got her from recommended a mixed wet/dry diet.
Due to Ozzie's tendency to put on too much weight and my reading articles and posts on this forum, I'm now thinking I should be giving them some wet food. I've read that feeding some wet can reduce the chances of cats being overweight, keep their teeth in better condition, and reduce the amount they hunt.
However, when we asked our vets about this, they said the cats should be fine on just dry as long as it was high-quality brands like the one we get from them. My parents are happy with that answer and they pay for the cat food at the moment as I've only just got a job after a six-month employment gap, so it's a bit awkward my telling them that maybe we should look into getting some wet as well.
What is everyone's opinions on this?
