The best is all wet, if you also focus on brushing your cats teeth regularly to prevent dental disease. But if you cannot brush your cats teeth, then consider doing half and half so that you get the best of both: friction of the dry to keep the teeth cleaner and also added water to promote healthy kidneys and bladder.
