I thought I would explain why I act so crazy about dry food. According to Dr. Lisa Pierson, DVM...The three key negative issues associated with dry food are:

2) carbohydrate load is too high
3) water content is too low

This a link to Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkins feline diabetic forum. She is the vet that testified in front of Durbin and is linked to on the itchmo site. She is happy to answer any questions on feline nutrition and pops on the forum a few times a day.
