Cleo only eats wet food when there is also hard food or treats in the bowl as well. (lemmy.world)

Is this a bad habit that needs to be broken? Otherwise she won't eat.

We feed our girl a half scoop of dry in the morning and evening and a 3rd of a can of wet food every other evening and it seems to be going really well for her ๐Ÿ˜ธ

Until she develops kidney problems, dry food is harmful for cats in the long run, ask a vet.

I mean, I'm aware that it's not the best food for pets. What do you suggest as an alternative? Do you home-make your pet food?

[โ€“] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

The standard alternative is readymade wet food from cans. There is also barfing (preping the food yourself, which is not that easy because cats need much more than just meat)
