Should my kitten eat dry or canned food or both?

Should my kitten eat dry or canned food or both? - Animal Hospital of Statesville

Great question. I think there's a benefit to both. Some people talk a lot about dry food and their teeth. To some degree, I think that plays a role, but that's not the only thing that factors into dental disease. Canned food can provide a lot of moisture. Cats that don't drink a lot or male cats that can be prone to urinary problems can benefit from canned food. The biggest concern and argument for dry, canned, or both is the quantity. You don't want to overfeed, no matter what you're feeding them.
