What is best dry or canned Cat food

[mistyandabby]

I am so confused right now & I was wondering if you all could put some light on this. I took Abby to the vet to have her checkup after she had been spayed got her stitches removed today. Also Misty had a check up to. The vet said I should seriously try to have them eat mostly can cat food. Says there is less fat in it. I tell this to my neice and nephew which also has cats says they felt that it was always the oposite that dry food is better for them. Right now I am feeding them dry Iamms . I am so confused which vets are more right the ones that say dry or the ones that say wet cat food. Please help me. :confused:

I looked at that thanks for showing me. I definitely have questions and lot of people do what they think is best. :)

I've never heard a vet tell someone to feed their cats nothing but canned food. My vet told me a little is fine because it gives them moisture. But canned food will build tartar up on their teeth. I'm glad Uabassoon found a link for you!

My girls will not eat canned food. I have tried different types and they just try to bury it as they do 'human' food. They eat nothing but Iams or Purina
Indoor formula..My three children also have a variety of cats, all indoor, and they never get canned food. It works for us. If a vet told me to feed canned I would shop around for another vet... :p
