As I said, one of the reasons. Cats are desert animals, who evolved to get most of their water from their prey. Consequently, cats dont hace a very strong thirst drive and do not drink enough. It's estimated that a dry fed cat spends most of their lives half dehydrated. Consequently, this is why kidney and bladder issues are so very common in cats, which are already somewhat "delicate" in that area. Lots of water flushes their urinary tract, which helps keep crystals from forming.
Dry food is also much higher in carbohydrates than canned (40% vs 6% in the brands I like best) abd as cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they NEED meat to survive, and do not need carbs, nor are carbs good for them.
Dry food for cats is a death sentence, in my, very well researched opinion.
So is Hills for dogs. I will never let that pass my dogs lips. Never.
