The packets mention how much to feed a cat each day, generally a serving twice a day is good for cats of all ages. For cats under one year of age, you may need to feed them thrice a day.

Dry food can cause an issue of constipation for some cats so one would need to be attentive till they are sure their pet has adjusted well. Due to the heat treatment during processing, the food may lose its nutritional value which is why more vitamins, amino acids and minerals are added to bring the values back up.

In case a cat has any specific health issues they may need food specific to their condition, which is something a pet owner should discuss with their vet. This would apply to things such as chronic kidney disease; giving the apt diet could increase the life of the pet.

Wet cat food comes in a jelly-like substance and generally has more meat compared to what goes into dry cat food.
