Just wondering how you guys balance the mix of these. Our cats looooove wet food, but keep it as a treat for every now and then. Have to keep the wet cat food in a plastic sealed container as our cats will tear through the box they come in and dig their way through haha.

    A mix of both is better for their teeth. Wet is good for hydration (which cats are bad at), whereas dry is good for teeth. I know some cats who have lost teeth, but my 7/yo has extremely healthy ones and we’ve never had to do any sort of dentistry

    We give her wet & dry together, twice a day and a handful of “Feline Greenie” treats throughout the day which allegedly help with dental hygiene. I have no reason to doubt so far!

      We’re really fortunate that our cat loves to gnosh on toys that will scrape her teeth; she’s on an all wet diet to help with bowel issues. Of course I still toss her a few greenies treats every other night because she goes nuts for them and it can’t hurt.
