i beg to differ and have seen many cats prone to crystals and urinary problems on a dry diet from RC Urinary and on some of the others i have mentioned with no problems. All(over 20) of these cases were previously on Whiskas dry or wet, Go cat or Iams dry/wet or dog food... to each their own.

Aah, but Selks where's the fun in thatlaugh:I dunno ya just can't get the staff these days

I have a cat, Roxy, who is now 14 months old. One week after I bought her, I took her to the vet for a check up and was informed that I should only feed her dry food as it was better for her digestion.

Up until two months ago, I did this mostly with Go Cat (which she loved) but every other day I would give her a little sachet of Whiskas wet food as a little change. However, two months ago while getting Roxy's annual booster jag my vet was horrified at how much weight she had put on since she was neutured at 6 months. To myself and my partner, her reaction was competely uncalled for as to us she looked an adequate size for a cat (you could feel her ribs but couldn't see them)- I was chastised for giving Roxy wet food in the first place, told that Go Cat is basically junk food for cats (which from this forum appears to be the case) and that by giving her this, I was slowly killing her.

Instead, I have been told that I have to feed her Royal Canin Stones & Weight dry food only at 50g a day to ensure weight loss and a healthy digestive system with the added bonus that the biscuits will help her teeth. However, after reading other websites and some of the threads of this forum, I am utterly confused. I would hate to think that I am in any way harming my cat - I love her to pieces. On a plus point, her coat has improved and her stools are a million times better but could I be harming her in the longe term?
