Healthy pet cats will likely regulate their water intake by themselves, drinking as much water as they need. But cats who are chronically dehydrated might be more vulnerable to obesity, chronic problems of the kidneys, bladder stones, or abnormal urinary symptoms (idiopathic cystitis). Because of this, cat owners might want to think of methods to increase the water intake of their pets.
Offering your pet cat only (or mostly) wet-type pet food could help in properly hydrating your cat compared to just only feeding her dry-type kibble. Cats who only eat kibble are probably going to need to drink a lot more water, however, there is research saying they might still drink less water compared to the moisture that is in wet-type only diets.
However, changing to wet-type cat food is not always a guaranteed fix for dehydration problems. There are still cats who might dislike wet-type cat food products, particularly if the cat has only been eating kibble since she was a kitten. Additionally, there are cat owners who think that wet-type cat food is inconvenient or too expensive.
A sudden change in your pet’s drinking and/or urinating habits should be brought to the attention of your nearest veterinarian Sarasota, FL.
