The health of the pet, and therefore the duration of his life, depends on nutrition. If you want your cat to live a happy and long life, choose quality food from a pet store.
What is the difference between dry and wet food
Dry and wet food differ in the level of water in the composition. In dry food - 10% water, in wet food - up to 75%.
Wet food features
This type of food is suitable for cats with chronic diseases. Manufacturers offer formulations depending on the pet's health problems.
Wet food is also suitable for older cats with dental problems.
Generally, cats like wet food. The compositions are different, which allows you to diversify the diet of the animal.
In addition, wet food is often suitable for dietary nutrition, as it saturates the cat for a long time.
Of the minuses, there is a short shelf life after opening and the need to wash the bowl after each meal.
Dry food features

Dry food also has a different composition and taste. However, dry food is less nutritious than wet food.
What type of food to choose
There is no single answer, since each animal has its own needs and characteristics.
To choose the right type of food for your cat, contact your veterinarian for advice.
