I give my two kitties (almost one year old) dry cat food....is this okay or
should I be giving them canned?


Hi Christina, I would absolutely recommend giving them a mostly canned diet.
Cats are not meant to eat dry food. They are carnivores and also many cats
don't drink enough water, thereby making their urine too concentrated whereby
they can develop urinary crystals. Here's a good article:
