Now that we are in Asia teeth cleaning is $84! Not kidding! But I will still stick with dry food and treats only b/c it's healthier for her and I hope she lives a long time. She will be 13 soon...

In the pm he gets his dry food soaked in water, because he eats his food too fast and doesn't chew it (lol), so this slows him down a little (a little..!) heartonastring on "Do you feed your pet all wet, all dry, or wet/dry food?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-pet-all-wet-all-dry-or-wetdry-food#post-1268640 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 08:41:51 +0000 heartonastring 1268640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Combo.

It seems to work well for us. He generally picks at the dry food throughout the day but is always primed for the good stuff in the evening :) Fronkinzankinsbride on "Do you feed your pet all wet, all dry, or wet/dry food?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-pet-all-wet-all-dry-or-wetdry-food#post-1267573 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 01:31:42 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1267573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our 10 yr old cat eats only dry food of only one specific kind and refuses all others. Although if she had her way she would eat pizza with ranch. Our 4 month old kitten still gets wet food once a day usually but is happy with anything and even likes to steal the dog food. The dogs get dry food or very occasionally a home made mix - turkey, veggies, rice, beef broth. The cats like that too. lovehoneybee on "Do you feed your pet all wet, all dry, or wet/dry food?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-pet-all-wet-all-dry-or-wetdry-food#post-1267568 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 01:22:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 1267568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our cats get all dry with the exception of the very rare can of tuna when they've been either particularly good or ignored.

House cats are prone to kidney problems because of dry food and male cats can get urinary blockages because of it, but all wet diets are no good for their teeth. We chose the Trader Joes because it contains no by-products and isn't expensive and Blue Buffalo dry because of its natural ingredients. BB is more expensive but not as pricey as prescription food.

Before that she was on 100% dry. Some people believe that cats should not eat dry food at all and should only eat wet or raw food, as that is what they would eat in nature. But I am trying to get her to lose weight and the wet food she is eating (wellness) is pretty rich. I've been unsuccessful in the past in trying to get her to switch wet food brands. So I am trying to reintroduce some dry food into her diet because she will eat less of it than wet food. She is almost 13 years old and very lazy. If I can get her to like a super premium dry food, then i'd probably feed her 1/2 3 oz can of wet food, and then maybe 1/4 cup of dry food a day. What ratio of wet/dry do you feed your pets?
