Hi Kitten lovers,
I have a question regarding dry food/ kibble. Everybody seems to heavily dislike it and cat owners are told to feed wet food only.
Now I feed my 5 month old kittens wet food in the morning and evening, and throughout the day they have a full bowl of their favorite dry food (it’s „Perfect Fit Junior”) for free feeding, and of course they always have fresh water available. Occasionally they get a sip of cat milk, they love it and I want them to be perfectly hydrated (but they also drink water from their bowl or a running tap).
From my experience feeding soft wet food only can lead to severe dental health issues in cats, they need the crunch to clean their teeth. And in a cats natural diet, they don’t fillet their meals either... every mouse or bird is being eaten more or less completely (have you ever heard a cat crunching away a mouse’s head? It’s disgusting but perfectly natural).
So why all the hate on dry food?
I’m looking forward to hearing your opinions and thoughts :-)
