Affordable soft dry food for senior cat with tooth pain & digestion?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 12 years and 9 months old | 13 lbs

I am just looking for a dry cat food for my 13 year old tabby. He hurt his tooth a couple days ago so it is hard for him to chew his current dry food (he spits it up whole after a while) I moved him to wet food two days ago and that helps, but I don’t really want to feed him wet food forever as it will get expensive. Any dry cat food out there that is somewhat soft as easy to chew as well as digest? Thanks!

Hi and thanks for posting. A brand that comes to mind that may be what you are looking for is Sojos which is freeze dried food. You add a small amount of water to it and the food pieces are on the softer side but not mushy. I hope this helps!
