Here are the TOP 3 reasons why canned is often a BETTER food than dry.

1. Moisture Content- The first ingredient is water, and it more closely resembles what our pets would eat in the wild.  Cats and some dogs are notorious for NOT drinking enough fluid, living in a state of chronic dehydration. This has health implications, especially with diseases such as Urinary Tract Crystals. 

2. Animal Protein- in most cases this is the NEXT ingredient next to water- above any carbohydrate. You can't really make a canned food with high levels of carbohydrates. Is this better?  In my opinion YES. A lower likelihood of diseases such as Diabetes. Less chance of obesity, and diseases linked to it such as Pancreatitis.

3. Digestion- It's easier to breakdown in the stomach and intestinal tract. Canned food is already partly broken down. This can mean less vomiting/ intestinal gas, and potentially less incidence of diseases such as Bloat. Think of the work it takes to digest these puffy, dry, fat sprayed on kibbles- vs moist, protein rich, canned food.

P.S. The convenience thing..

Yes it's hard to make the switch, for dry kibble is SOO much more convenient.

No smelly open cans of food

No tins to clean out and recycle.

BUT it really is MUCH healthier- especially for your cat.

And IF your cat gets a disease such as Diabetes, you'll sure be 'inconvenienced' with twice daily insulin injections..never mind how your cat feels.

So keep your pets health in mind and make the switch.

P.P.S. IF you are also wanting to naturally treat your dog or cats for joint discomfort from arthritis, then you should be using these 3 ingredients: Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM. They are in my Dog and Cat supplement, and make the canned food tastier. My mom's cat, ( who is now my cat) called Gussie, MEOWS and waits for me to add in the supplement- which she eats first..

Plus she is moving so much better, and now has lost weight.
