I agree with Medusa. Our main vet ( I do trust his group, over 29 years) has told us that dry is the best especially for the males. BUT we have been told by others vets that they should have wet. With 12 in the house my wife splits 3 cans mixed with dry in 6 plates. They do take turns eating and at lest 2-3 plates are not finished (saved for later, Chessie likes too let the wet dry a bit)). We free feed using 4 large dog bowls. We also make sure that there is plenty of water, again 4 large dog bowls and 2 fountains. We have another fountain on the way. This has been the same for the last 23+ years. Wet mix free dry and lots of water. We have had no health issues. This includes a diabetic for almost 16 years
