My cats won't eat dry food. Can I switch brands and keep wet?

My cats aren’t eating their wellness dry food but love the wellness canned food. Is it okay if I switch to blue wilderness dry food and keep wellness canned food? They seem to be eating it that way but is it safe?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cats. It would be just fine to feed the Wellness canned food and the Wilderness dry, if that is what they prefer. Each dry cat food has a different amount of calories per cup though. So monitor them for any gain or loss of weight. To prevent this, you may need to adjust the daily amount of kibble offered. I hope this information helps!
