Frequently asked questions

Why is wet food so important for cats?

Wet food is crucial in a cat's diet because it provides essential hydration, helping to promote kidney and urinary health. The high moisture content in wet food also aids digestion and supports a cat's natural carnivorous dietary needs. Additionally, the rich aroma and texture of wet food often encourage finicky eaters to consume sufficient nutrients, contributing to overall well-being.
