My cat only wants to eat dry food and ignores wet food. Is this okay for hydration?

[]

Answer

While dry food alone can be nutritionally complete for your cat, relying solely on it can contribute to lower overall hydration, especially if they are not big water drinkers. Cats naturally derive a significant portion of their moisture from their food. Consider introducing water fountains to encourage drinking, or try different textures and flavors of wet food. You can also add a little water or low-sodium broth to their dry food. Consistent hydration is crucial for kidney and urinary tract health. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
