How do I choose between wet cat food cans, pouches, and trays?

Unsure whether canned cat food, cat food pouches, or trays are right for your cat? Here’s a quick guide, as each format offers unique advantages:

Cat wet food cans: Often more affordable and available in larger portions with recyclable packaging.
Cat food pouches: Smaller (and so easier to store) with mess-free portions.

Can I mix wet cat food and dry food?

Yes, this is called mixed feeding. It’s popular because it combines the moisture of wet food with the crunch of dry food, offering both flavour and texture variety. Just be sure to adjust portion sizes accordingly.

What should I do if my cat won’t eat the new wet cat food?

Try warming it slightly to enhance the aroma or switching from pâté to chunks in jelly. Introduce changes gradually over 5–7 days. If your cat continues to refuse new food, try a different brand or texture, or consult your vet.
