Hi there and thank you for using pet coach! Yes, this is absolutely fine. Just be sure to feed the right amount of calories per day as some wet food can be quite high in calories. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

    Hello and thank you for your question! It is just fine to feed wet food every other day, and dry food every day. I do like to feed a bit of wet and dry regularly, as dry helps with their teeth, and wet helps with hydration. I hope this helps, and that Oliver is happy and healthy!
