| Feature | Moisture content |
|---|---|
| Wet cat food | High - can help encourage fluid intake |
| Dry cat food | Low - ensure fresh water is always available |
| Feature | Texture |
| Wet cat food | Soft - often preferred by kittens, older cats, or fussy eaters |
| Dry cat food | Crunchy - some owners choose for oral care routines |
| Feature | Protein levels |
| Wet cat food | Often high in animal protein |
| Dry cat food | May include more grains or plant-based protein |
| Feature | Shelf life (after opening) |
| Wet cat food | Shorter - store in the fridge and use quickly |
| Dry cat food | Longer - often resealable and easy to store |
| Feature | Convenience |
| Wet cat food | Single-serve options available (e.g., pouches, trays) |
| Dry cat food | Bulk-buy options available, often less sticky/messy |

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.
