When I adopted Dandy, she was 1 year old already. Whoever had her before me, must have exclusively fed her wet food, b/c she begged and begged for it, and virtually ate no dry...i had initially started her on Iams dry, but she just didn't eat it, only liked canned food, but I later changed to the Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul dry, and she loved it...ate it up...and so i weaned her off of the wet...she is a little piggy, and i didnt want her getting over weight...so now i give them some dry in the morning, same time as i feed the dog, and then some dry around dinner time, or later at night...no canned food anymore...only, very occasionally, as a treat. The Chicken Soup food is actually, very well priced...i stopped giving it to Dale, but the cats are doing very well on it...
