Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cats. It is fine to feed dry food if it is well balanced and Purina is. You are correct in that dry food can lead to obesity. You want a defined waist on each cat from the top and side views as well as being able to feel the ribs. If your cats meet these requirements, then you are doing a great job!
