The selection of available food options for dogs and cats is broad. The food format that consumers feed their pets is a personal choice, and it’s one that reflects the pet parent’s lifestyle, nutritional philosophies and budget. One of the primary benefits of wet food is the dietary hydration delivered to the animal. The added moisture is especially important for cats that are more prone to urinary disease, as cats tend to have a lower drive to freely drink water. Meanwhile, raw food offers more animal-based protein and, according to Instinct, benefits of a raw diet include better digestion, improved skin and coat, improved weight and an increase in energy.
