Are there any disadvantages to feeding my cat wet and dry food daily?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 lbs

I want to start feeding my DSH the combo diet (both wet and dry food). She’s a free feeder currently and does well with not over eating. Is there any significant disadvantages with doing the combination diet? More about mittens! She’s about 8 lbs and just turned two. She’s currently not fixed, but we are making an appointment to do so very soon!

No, there's no disadvantage of mixed wet and dry food. The wet food with give Mittens extra water, which is great. Just make sure the wet food doesn't dry out, and keep giving her fresh wet food. I hope this helps!
