Dolly the Cat only eats dry food.

Scout and Dolly have lived together for over 5 years before Scout passed 2 days ago, in any event she has only eaten dry since birth even though 2 different brands and multipul flavors were avalable for both cats. Is there some supplement we can put on her dry to makeup for her not eating wet meat food? TIA Depends. When was the last time she saw a vet? What is she missing by not eating wet foods? If she is the rare cat that drinks lots of water, maybe not missing much at all. How is her fur? Is it dry? Shed a lot? Her eyes? Her teeth? Is she active? How are her stools? What are the foods that you are now giving? I ask because it's kind of difficult to really give a good answer without knowing much info. Although it seems cats thrive on canned foods, should there not be a reason to change? I give my cat 1/2 and 1/2 and her fur sheds less and is less dry to the touch. I was using Science Diet Light which apparently was not enough as a dry food. I have seen other cats thrive on dry food but it's more risky, especially for males and urinary problems. |
