Why Wet Food?

Cats tend to visit the water bowl less than dogs because in nature, they consume the majority of their moisture intake from raw meat. “Nature designs cats to hydrate via their diet,” according to Dr. Karen Becker, a proactive and integrative wellness veterinarian. The healthiest, most natural diet you could feed your cat is a nutritionally balanced, fresh meat-based diet. Cats that are fed kibble only will not drink enough water to compensate for the lack of moisture in their food, therefore they are in a “constant state of dehydration,” according to Dr. Becker. If you are not ready to take the raw plunge, consider a healthy canned diet. We’re not talking Friskies here...you don’t want any by-products, corn syrup, or cheap fillers. A healthy canned diet has a very high moisture content which will help kitty’s kidneys in the long run.
