cat refusing wet food, eating less in general (?)

Hello! I'm glad you reached out with your concern about your cat's eating habits. Changes in appetite in cats can be a sign of several things, so it’s good to address it early.



Cats refusing wet food or eating less could be due to dental issues, where it may be painful for them to chew. Other potential causes could include stress, changes in their environment, or a health issue such as gastrointestinal problems. It's also possible your cat just doesn’t enjoy the taste or texture of the current food.



In the meantime, try warming the wet food slightly to enhance the aroma, which can entice your cat to eat. Ensure your cat has fresh water available and try offering a little bit of a different type or flavor of food to see if there's an interest in that.



Watch for signs of serious issues like sudden weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, which would require more immediate attention. It's also important to observe if your cat is using the litter box regularly, as changes there could indicate an issue too.



To better understand what's happening, consider scheduling a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet. This way, we can evaluate your cat's situation together and give you tailored advice.
