Dry food is fine. It's the kind of dry food that's the problem. Your cat will need to switch to a dry food that promotes a healthy urinary tract. The prescription science diet is wonderful and your vet will recommend the correct one. Purina also makes a great prescription line of food as well.

Commercial canned food is like letting your cat eat out of the garbage. Ick. Does terrible things to the teeth, liver and coat.

>Dry food is fine.<

NO! Newer information indicates ALL dry food is bad for cats since it must contain carbohydrates to be processed and to hold together in a pellet.

"Prescription" dry food still contains carbohydrates. Kitty is NOT a dog, and not a deer. Their metabolism is not like a dog's, as was long assumed.
