Kibble (dry) and canned (wet) foods have both benefits and drawbacks that every pet owner should fully understand to choose the best one for their pet. Many cat parents tend to give premium kibble to their furballs because it is convenient. Canned pet food can offer several benefits but it is often priced higher, especially the premium ones. Also, food bowls need to be washed several times a day. Between kibbles and canned pet food, the latter is more appealing to cats. In fact, it’s recommended for cats that lack appetite. The high moisture content of canned pet food also helps increase a cat’s intake of water which can help in the prevention and treatment of problems affecting the kidneys as well as lower urinary tract. Since a cat’s dietary preferences are established while they are still very young, it is recommended that they be introduced to kibble and canned food at an early age.
Do contact your veterinarian Acupuncture if you have any questions about your pet’s diet and nutrition.
