I feed both. Wet food is basically a dinner item, dry food forms the basis of the diet. The funny thing is my three boys all have very different preferences re: wet and dry.

One would definitely prefer all his food to be wet. He'd drop the dry in a heartbeat but he'll take it when nothing else is on offer. One barely touches the wet food (and let's his wet food lover brother finish his meals). He used to like wet food more younger but he really loves his Innova dry. Oftentimes he barely comes to check the wet cup and only eats if he happens to really be hungry right then, and it's his fave-flavour. And the last one is a mixed, dry-wet. He's a good eater and likes both. He comes for the wet food very eagerly but does not overeat it like his hog-brother who feels like he'll never get enough.

The funny thing is, the chubbiness level and healthy eating habits are directly related to the preferences it seems. Our dry food lover is a skinny guy who only eats what he needs, wet food lover is over-weight and does not stop before cups are empty, like no sense. Mixed guy is in-between, occasionally over-indulging so we need to limit him a bit too but he won't eat himself into stupor.
