This article makes an interesting and logical arguement to the contrary of what you have said there, and it is written by a vet Little Big Cat
Vets invariably push dry because they get commission on it. When have you ever seen a vets practice with a stand of wet food in the corner? If they did have such a thing then they would be pushing wet, not dry.
