I always hear that some brands of dry food for cats are not good because of the ingredients used inside. Some may affect the cat's bladder.Some may cause loss of fur. Is it true ? How about wet food ? Is wet food better ? Or is it okay if we give rice and fish ? I am confused.

You need to check with your vet - people buy stuff of the grocery shelves and think they are getting the right food...not really.

It really all depends on how much money you want to spend, also what you want to spend in food now and whether you want to spend it on vet bills later. I see many complaining of the price buyign the cheap food, then spending well over that in vet bills later. Cats, and dogs need both wet and dry food, NOT ONE OR THE OTHER. They need the moisture of the wet food for digestion and bowels. The dry food does help the teeth, and break down. Some do mix sweet potato boiled, or pumpkin which does the same trick. They don't need a lot, many tins say a can a day, you can give a s spoon ful, just watch the stoold. If feeding strictly dry food, you can cause a fatty liver, and they can die. The quality of the food the more you spend usually shows the wuality of the food, adn ingredients it's made by. For example Friskies, Iams, more or less anything you can buy at Walmart of a grocery store you are slowly killing you animals. They are full of fillers including corn, and sawdust. Also, meat by product means left over meat which includes meat not deamed safe for humans, euthanised animals, and even parts such as beaks, pen*s, and so forth. Some animals do have allergies as well, which could explain fur loss, and even bladder. You can give a little fish, with no spices, rice depending many times they don't recommend it on an ongoing basis.
