Dry Food All the Way

We have raised generations of pedigreed Somali cats, which are notorious for Gingivitis. We discovered early on that a dry cat food only diet keeps their teeth scraped and minimizes the incidence of gum infections, which minimizes infections all over their bodies, *especially* the kidneys. Since indoor only cats suffer from kidney disease more than just about any other serious disease, this had cut down greatly on Vet visits for Urinary Tract problems over the past 2 decades! We only provide wet food to administer the occasional supplement and for kittens being weaned.
