Thread: Dry vs Wet food: What our Vet said and do you agree/disagree?

As I have said in many threads before I am a wet food believer through & through....... my boss who is a vet of the older school is also a wet food believer,all my animals have been brought up on tinned food with just a small portion of bikkies {RC,Hills or Sanabelle}
What did we feed our animals before biscuits came on the scene,think there was perhaps only two brands of cat food available way back then,I have worked at a vets for 40 years & never had half the problems that we see now before biscuits appeared,lots more cases of cystitis,overweight cats & now something that was very rarely seen diabetic cats too......
I know if you are a raw food feeder that they do recommend added taurine but also believe that it comes from meat & fish anyway so wether it is how it is derived from those sources I have to admit that I don't know,obviously the tinned food contains other parts of the animal involved where as raw food diet tends to be the straight forward flesh part,perhaps someone could come & tell us in easy to understand terms or otherwise it could mean some homework for us but all I know is that I have never had any problems wet feeding in well over 40 years,canine or feline.........x
