Question by .: Is it unhealthy to feed my cats canned chicken mixed with a good dry food?
They don’t eat the healthy brands of cat food but they love canned meat and they will eat the dry food. Is it bad for them if I start feeding them canned chicken mixed with a good brand of dry food?
Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!
Canned chicken isn’t good chicken, for people or for cats. Just feed them the regular dry food, they will be just fine. If they won’t eat it, then give them canned food. You have spoiled them by giving them canned chicken, so you should stop.

nope, probably not
you see, human food usually has a lot of condiments, like onion and garlic, which cats are ALLERGIC to, it could really mess up their stomach or even kill them.
Just feed them the cat food, keep some cool clean water near at all times,and if the cats are having trouble chewing the dry food, moisten it with some milk.

Are you talking the canned chicken that people would eat? No its not good – its got too much salt in it and other spices. If you want to ad more healthy food, then check out Merrick’s chicken or turkey – its more flaked and most cats love it.
Other then that, lightly boil some chicken breast (feed 1/2 raw, 1/2 cooked) and shred that and give it to the cats. Too much dry can cause some cats to have more UTI and liver/kidney problems no matter if its quality or not.
