Hi Again,

There is no way of knowing for sure, but some vets believe that a dry food diet contributes to intestinal problems such as IBD and lymphoma.

Of course, there are many, many cats eating dry food and do not develop these issues. My feeling is that some cats are just more susceptible for some reason. Perhaps it might even have something to do with the immune system........who knows.

I always wonder about the "hidden" ingredients in cat foods also, such as food coloring, and by-products and how these may be affecting our babies. For this reason I like to stick to natural and holistic foods when I can.

Regards,
PHKitkat
