Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. Wet food is not bad for cats but if she is having trouble eating her hard food, this may indicate that there is something painful in the mouth. If her mouth is fine, then her preference may be canned food and this is ok. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
