I have experiences with both, and I can tell you, you absolutly, do not, want to go with any brand wet or dry, that has glutens, grains and by products, unless its for financial issues. Grains are one of many, but the biggest, cause of crystals and bladder issues, I have a crystal kitty. Glutens - remember the Menu Foods saga of 2007.
By products can include euthinized cats and dogs, including their collors, and diseased animals, pretty much anything they want to throw in there, beaks, claws, any....thing.
I have done extensive research on grains, I have a crystal kitty. I followed the Menu Foods saga from the beginnng, way too many cats and dogs died, for no other reason, than greed and money, China trying to buy ingredients and a lower price, to boost their profits.
Why the heckola, would anyone, want to feed their babies, a foodie, that has euthinized dogs and cats, including their collors and diseased animals, and...... the drug given these animals, to put them down?
They cut our hours back, I went the less expensive wet food route. Guess what, kittens threw it up, they went back to the BW wet, the other 2 not only threw it up, they had to go to the vet, $400 vet bill, they went back on the BW wet. Bump never left it, he cannot, he has heart issues, it is imperative, he stay on the grain free, gluten free, by product free and soy free food.
Bump is the president of the I ain't eatin no wet foodies, at all, period. He gets BW dry, mixed with 1 teaspoon Gerber baby food chicken, mixed with water, so its like a broth, and this is per my vet, so he gets the increased water intake, to keep him flushed out. Twice a day.
Wet is better than dry. It is better because it has added moisture, but even that, you have to mix with water, so its real soupy, to keep them hydrated and flushed out, to prevent crystals and bladder issues.
I been the cheap foodies route, it caused one kitty crystals, the other 2 a huge vet bill, and Bump had tummy issues, and he got too fat, judges said so, vet confirmed it.
I feed Blue Wilderness, chicken, no more crystals, no more tummy issues, no more throwing up, no more vet bills, which cost me more, in the long run, buying cheaper foodies.
Like I said, I been this cheap route, it cost me more, in the long run, in vet bills. I go to work, and I go home, and figure out a way, to only spend $50 at the grocery store, so my babies can have good quality food. And I come on here, and bug the heckola, out of Lola, M-O-L, and that, is my entertainment.
