RE: dry food causing problems?

[Chris Behnke]

My vet told me that the original thinking of dry food is changing.  Before it was recommended to only feed dry food.  Now they are finding out that cats do become obese or have chronic constipation.  Not to mention that dry food is harder to digest and can slow the metabolism.   Chris   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Watson Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 4:39 PM To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: dry food causing problems?   I'm reading through Wendy's sick kitty manual, and I just found this, which surprised me: Dry food:  Not good for cats.  Contributes to obesity.  Exacerbates all sorts of health problems. I wondered if you folks could help me understand why this is?  We've been feeding our cats weight-management hairball-control dry food for years, and I'd never seen this kind of claim before.  Right now  we have Eukanuba Mature Care for our cats that are 9 years old and actually eating. -- Amy K.
