I have a question about…food
I was told by my vet to switch from wellness core hard food to wellness core grain free soft food. He said its better for the cat and said the myst that soft food is worth for the teeth is wrong also. He said studies show that hard food has No benefit for teeth than soft…Also my cat is 14lbs and said feed her three 3.3oz cans of soft food.. Is this info correct??

Strictly from a nutritional standpoint, the only difference between dry and canned food is water! Three cans of food daily seems like a lot of calories; especially considering most 14 pound cats are actually overweight! Feeding less would help your cat to get to a healthier weight. I would start with no more than 2 cans per day, initially, and monitor your cat’s weight. My personal experience with dental health indicates that eating dry food does help to reduce tartar build up to some degree.
