Wet Cat Food

Wet cat food is one of the most nutritious meal options for cats and kittens. While dogs are omnivorous, cats are carnivores, which means that they require meat in their diets. Wet cat food contains a high animal protein content, which is important for all carnivores. The greatest canned food advantage, however, is its high moisture content. Water is vital to your cat's health. Since wild prey contains as much as 75% water, cats have evolved to acquire much of their water needs from food. If you do choose wet cat food for your pet, keep in mind that it requires refrigeration after opening and should not be left out all day the way kibble can be.

Petco offers a wide selection of wet cat food options including canned, variety packs, pouches, and trays. Pet owners may want to read wet cat food reviews and ratings before deciding on the best wet cat food, or speak with your veterinarian if you have any questions.

Supplement Your Cat's Wet Food Diet

Many pet owners choose to supplement a wet food diet with dry kibble throughout the day for grazing and snacking. Changing up your cat’s food can be a great way to provide them with a balanced diet. Depending on your pet's needs, you can also consider adding raw food, cat food toppers, and cat treats into their dietary mix.
