Dry Cat Food and Hydration
Cats eating dry food should always have access to fresh, clean drinking water. Some owners also include complete wet food in their cat’s routine to increase dietary moisture and provide additional texture variety.
You can also explore our Wet Cat Food collection or use suitable treats and toppers to add variety. Treats and complementary foods should not replace a complete daily diet.
How Much Dry Food Should I Feed My Cat?
The correct amount depends on your cat’s age, body weight, activity level, body condition and the calorie density of the chosen food. Always begin with the feeding guide printed on the product packaging and adjust portions as needed to maintain a healthy body condition.
Measure daily portions rather than continually topping up the bowl. This can make it easier to monitor how much your cat eats and notice changes in appetite.
How to Change Your Cat’s Dry Food
Introduce a new dry food gradually over approximately seven days. Begin by mixing a small amount of the new food with the current food, then slowly increase the new food while reducing the old food.
Some sensitive cats may benefit from a slower transition. If your cat stops eating, develops persistent digestive symptoms or has a diagnosed medical condition, seek veterinary advice.
Dry Food for Kittens
Kitten dry food is formulated with the energy and nutrients required during growth. Choose a recipe labelled specifically for kittens or growth, and follow the feeding directions according to age and expected adult size.
Browse our dedicated Kitten Food collection for suitable dry and wet options.
Dry Food for Indoor Cats
Indoor cats may have lower energy requirements than highly active outdoor cats. Indoor formulas may include controlled calories, fibre for digestive support or ingredients intended to assist with hairball management.
Browse Indoor Cat Food to compare suitable options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dry cat food suitable for everyday feeding?
Yes, provided the product is labelled as complete and balanced for your cat’s life stage and is fed according to the directions.
Can cats eat only dry food?
Many cats are fed a complete dry diet. Fresh drinking water must always be available, and portions should be measured to help maintain a healthy body condition.
Can I mix dry and wet cat food?
Yes. Mixed feeding can provide variety and additional dietary moisture. Calculate both portions together so the combined daily intake remains appropriate for your cat.
What is the best dry food for an indoor cat?
The best option depends on the cat’s age, activity level, body condition and health. Indoor formulas may be helpful, but the food must also suit the cat’s correct life stage.
Is grain-free dry cat food better?
Not necessarily. Grain-free food may suit particular preferences, but the overall nutritional balance and suitability of the complete recipe are more important than a single ingredient claim.
How should dry cat food be stored?
Keep the food sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Retaining the original packaging can help preserve batch, expiry and feeding information.
