lollooll. I got the impression he was trying to look intelligent. thoughtful. Instead he always looked like the village idiot.
About dogs and cats, I've got almost the same answer from the vets I worked with and other animal pros. They should have wet food as a main with a small bowl of dry as an evening or night snack if food is left out. Reason being, they get a large amount of water from wet food (canned or moist bag) than almost zero from dry. Dry takes fluids out of the system and stresses their kidneys and other tracks.
The vets said that they experience an over average of dog and cat ailments with their kidneys and urine infections where the owners report that dry food is their only intake with a bowl of water.
But that's my experience with numerous professionals I've dealt with through the years while producing and shooting pet shows and animal shows.
