It's also easy to store, and the cans last for years on the shelf. However, canned food has its limitations. Once you open the can, the food must be refrigerated. The price is also quite high, as you must feed significantly larger amounts for the cat to get all the required nutrients. A simple way to heat it until the chill is gone is by mixing in some hot water and stirring well.
Moist food is also available, but it is no longer recommended as an exclusive diet for cats.
Moist food was created as a compromise between tasty canned food and durable dry food. In order to get this combination, however, producers are forced to use larger quantities of preservatives. For this reason, it is better not to feed cats a diet based on moist food, but rather use it as an occasional treat. We recommend feeding your cat a mixed diet of dry food and canned food. That way the cat will get a sensibly balanced diet that is within the limits of a sensible budget.
