My Persian cat won't eat wet food. Are dry food carbs healthy for him?

It is quite alright if little Oliver does not eat dry food. Canned food has a higher protein and moisture content as well as less carbs than dry food. Cats do not "need" carbohydrates but do need a high protein diet, especially growing kittens. Feed a good quality canned food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Read the ingredients and confirm there is named protein source of animal, not plant, origin. Avoid by-products and meat meals. Stay away from store or discount brands too, these typically contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Royal Canin is excellent food and I think either the Fit32 or the Adult Persian is just fine. No worries. I would not use another brand. I really like Royal Canin products. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Congrats on your new kitten! I have a Persian as well, and they are lovely cats. Royal Canin has a brand of wet kitten food, and you can try that to see if doesn't give her diarrhea and satisfies her desire to have wet food. You can mix that wet food with her dry food to see if she eats the dry food better. I hope this helps!

I'm sorry that your cats won't eat Royal Canin! I personally believe that it's an excellent brand of food. You can try a different flavor of Royal Canin. Other brands I recommend include Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

Hi and thanks for your post! Royal Canin makes a very good food for Persians. A few good others are Purina Pro Plan Focus Healthy Metabolism, Wellness Healthy Indulgence Grain Free, and Iams Proactive Health. I hope this helps!

Usually dry food is high in carbs, and wet (canned ) food for cats is low carb. Best commercial wet foods for cats in my opinion are Fancy Feast, and foods from companies such as Hill's Science diet, or Royal Canine. Friskies appears to be good also.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dry is fine for cats. Some feel that canned cat food is more ideal due to the extra moisture content and because cats are more carnivorous than dogs. Canned food is best for cats with underlying urinary issues. With that being said if Noushmc prefers dry then that is what you should offer her. I wouldn't be concerned. Have a good day!
