Dry or wet Royal Canin food - which is better?

Our professional advice:
Combine both types of food! The optimal combination: 70% dry + 30% wet food. This ensures balanced nutrition, adequate hydration, and variety in your cat's diet.
How to properly transition to new Royal Canin food?
Abrupt changes in food can cause digestive upset. The transition should be gradual over 7 days:

- Days 5-6: 25% old food + 75% new Royal Canin

Monitor your cat's reaction during the transition. If you notice digestive upset, slow down the transition process.
