How much dry food should a cat eat per day?

The right amount of dry food depends on your cat’s age, weight, activity level and overall health. On average, adult cats may need around 40–60 grams of dry food per day, but kittens, seniors and more active cats will have different needs. Always refer to the feeding guide on the food packaging as a starting point — these guides are usually tailored to the specific formula. If your cat is gaining or losing weight unexpectedly, or has a medical condition, a quick chat with your vet can help you fine-tune their feeding routine.

Can dry cat food be used with wet food?

Absolutely. Feeding a mix of dry and wet food can offer the best of both worlds — dry food supports dental health and is easy to leave out for grazing, while wet food adds moisture to your cat’s diet, which can help with hydration. If you’re combining both, you’ll just need to balance the portions so your cat doesn’t get too many calories. This mixed approach is especially useful for fussy eaters or cats with specific health needs. It also adds variety to keep mealtimes interesting.

How do I switch my cat to a new dry food?

Changing your cat’s food should always be a gradual process to avoid digestive issues. Start by mixing around 25% of the new food with 75% of the current food for the first couple of days. Slowly increase the proportion of new food every few days until your cat is eating 100% of the new formula — ideally over a period of 7 to 10 days. Keep an eye on their appetite, stool quality and general behaviour during the transition. If your cat refuses the new food or shows signs of discomfort, slow the process down or consult your vet for advice.
