The thing about Vets is that they receive absolutely no education in nutrition. Therefore they know as much about it as an electrician, trash-man, bush, or anna nicole. That is unless they seek out additional education which most will not do because people assume since they are a vet they have an unlimited understanding of all things animal related.
There really is no reason for dry food. In addition to the stuff I posted about perpetual dehydration, dry food almost always has a lower nutritional value than does wet.
I feed my 4 Friskies Prime Filets canned. They get 6 cans daily, 2 in the morning, 2 around 6:00, and 2 before bed. My cats seem to like the Prime Filets because it has actual pieces of meat in it not like the loaf shit.
The key is to figure out the amount they are gonna eat in a sitting and stick to providing only that amount. That way there isn't excess food left out.
Something I have been looking into is a raw meat diet. It requires a lot of commitment but is ultimately the best for them. I don't really have a lot of info on it at this point but it is something I will eventually be doing.
Back to dry food though, there isn't really a reason for it as I said. If your cats are adults now you might have some trouble getting them switched but it can be done and is better for them to do so.
