Wet vs. Dry Food: A Simple Guide to Feeding Your Kitten
One of the most common questions we get from new kitten parents is, "What should I feed them?" The debate between wet and dry food is a big one. Let's break down the pros and cons of each to help you make the best choice for your new companion.
The Case for Wet Food:
High Moisture Content: Great for hydration, supporting urinary tract health.
Palatability: Often more appealing to picky eaters.
Easy to Eat: Soft texture is perfect for tiny teeth.
The Case for Dry Food:
Convenience: Can be left out for "free-feeding."
Dental Health: Crunchy kibble can help reduce tartar.
Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than wet food.
Our Expert Recommendation?
Many veterinarians recommend a combination of both! This gives your kitten the benefits of hydration from wet food and the dental convenience of dry kibble.
