My two self-feed on dry, I think personally it's better for their teeth, they don't have bad breath that I've noticed on some cats that only eat wet. I also split a small can of Fancy Feast w/greens every day or every other day (that stuff is $$, and the only canned they will eat.) Ran it by the vet the other week and it's working well for my cats, they are both healthy, and not over-weight. In fact, one could stand to gain a bit, but she's the one with the yakking problem. Your mileage may vary, of course. :lol: I have been told that some cats end up over-weight if they self-feed due to overeating. I will limit their access to the dry if they start getting pudgy.
My cats get dry but as a treat they get a little bit of moist. I give that to them at dinner time when I am feeding Laila
