Is dry food bad for your cat?
Dry Kibble: Harmful To Your Cat's Health?
The debate over what to feed cats seems to be never-ending: Dry food
or wet food? And with all the information available online about
healthy cat food you'd think the mystery would be solved. The fact is,
dry food is completely unnatural for cats and often contributes to a
variety of health problems. For starters, cats need water in their
food and only wet food offers this dietary need. You may witness your cat
drinking from his water dish and think he is getting all the
hydration he needs. But it's never a good thing to see your cat
drinking lots of water, it only indicates dehydration. Cats cannot make up for the lack of moisture
in their food by drinking water from a dish, even though it appears
so. Cats are not water drinkers the way dogs are, their
water comes from the prey they kill and eat, not from a bowl.
Dry food is dehydrating because it contains about 10% less moisture than what cats need which is around 75-80%.
To add to the problem; dry kibble is often high in grain content.
