Answer

While cats can thrive on a dry food-only diet, it's generally recommended to include wet food for increased moisture intake, which is vital for kidney health, especially as they age. Ensure her dry food is high-quality and complete. If she's consistently well-hydrated from her water bowl and maintains a healthy weight, it might be less of a concern. Consider adding water or a 'food topper' specifically designed to entice picky eaters if you want to increase her liquid intake. Discussing her specific diet with your vet can provide tailored advice. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
