How to Make Moist Cat Food Out of Dry

The pros and cons of moist and dry cat food are a matter of debate among veterinarians. Moist or canned cat food is inherently more appealing to a cat's senses and more nutritional. Dry food promotes good dental health in cats, is easier to store, and is high in fiber. Dry food is also less expensive. Some cat owners make their own moist food out of dry.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place 6 to 8 wheat cereal pieces in large bowl. Using a large mixing spoon or your hands, crush and separate each piece so that what is shredded and can easily sift through your fingers.

    • 2

      Add the dry cat food into the bowl with the wheat. Adjust the amount of food depending on how much you are trying to make or how thick or thin you want the moist food to be for your cat.

    • 3

      Add the cod liver oil by pouring it slowly in to the large mixing bowl. Using the mixing spoon, stir the combination until the oil is distributed evenly through the mixture.

    • 4

      Boil the water on the stove or in a microwave, then drizzle or pour lightly onto the bowl's contents, being careful to cover the wheat pieces and the dry food evenly. Mix the contents with the spoon, using it to mix and mash up the ingredients together.
