Dry food is awful stuff full of indigestible grains and carbs. As Jckkerison says, in the long term it can lead to a lot of health problems, because of the low protein content and lack of moisture. Unfortunately a lot of vets recommend it because they make money out of a) selling it and b) treating the health problems it causes.

The dry kibble I buy (Pure Vita) is grain free, all natural food, no added junk. It costs a little more but it is worth it in the long run. I do not buy any thing from my vet unless she needs drugs and long term meds are cheaper from 1800petmeds. I agree that dry food does not provide enough water, that is why I also feed mine a can of high grade cat food also.
