518.0. "Wet and Dry food.." by WELMTS::PIRIE () Wed Mar 18 1987 08:26

    There must be a note that discusses dry food versus wet food but
    I can't see it.
    
    At the moment we only feed our cats wet-tinned-supermarket food,
    occasionally they get s few Cat Treats (dry ) which they love. We
    did once start feeding them dried food but one of our cats got ill
    - we didn't know if it was connected or not - and we decided to
    go back to wet food. The illness involved diarohea (Icant spell
    this !) and the edge of his inner eye lid showed all the time -
    the vet said he was dehydrated.
    
    Should we be feeding them wet and dry food? Is dry food good for
    their teeth and gums?
    
    If there is a note that covers all of this please point me at it.
    
    Thanks

    According to most of the vets that I've talked to it is good to
    give them a mixture of both wet & dry food. Also it is good to give
    them a variety, not only varieties of the same brand of cat food
    but of many different brands. Also I have been advised to avoid
    generic type brands of cat food as the quality controls aren't that
    great. The dry food is very good for their teeth. It keeps them
    strong, short, and nice & white. I hope this helps.
