Do Not Feed Your Cat

06 Feb 2006 02:59 AM

I think it is REALLY important to note here that Beth Taylor owns a company that sells "raw food" based pet foods. I hardly think she would be considered an unbiased expert. Making a blanket statement like this based upon one individual's clearly biased opinion is questionable.

As for not feeding cats dry food, I believe a longer explanation is necessary. Dry foods are generally more nutrient dense than wet/canned foods and since cats don't drink a whole lot, this density in certain minerals can lead to urinary issues for some cats. According to my research, feeding your cat dry food with some water added can be just as effective as feeding it canned food. I would be irresponsible in my reply if I did not mention that good tooth & gum health for a cat can only be achieved by providing them with at least some dry food on a regular basis.
