My cat only eats dry food. Is it healthy for her to skip wet food?

Question

My cat isn’t always eating her wet food but seems to favour her dry food. However the dry food I had to get from the vet as she had lost a lot of weight over the summer due to being more active. She has now put the weight back on, but she now barely touches her wet food. What should I do? As I can’t afford to keep throwing the food away. I haven’t changed her food if this helps. Thank you.

Hi Anita, Misty looks like she's a good body condition now. Some cats just don't like wet food. It would be fine to feed her only dry food, but I would advise getting her a pet fountain to help make sure she drinks enough water. Cats love running water and pet fountains can really help. In the summer when she is more active, I would just feed her more of the dry or switch to a food that has a few more calories. I hope that helps.
