Cat won’t eat dry food? A vet explains why and when to worry

Cat lying down next to a bowl of dry cat food not eating.

It can feel very frustrating when your cat won’t eat dry food – and confusing if it’s what they normally eat! Not only is the best dry cat food a more affordable option compared to wet food, but it also lasts longer and is unlikely to attract flies, making it a suitable choice for free feeding and cat puzzle feeders.

If your cat isn’t eating completely, it could be caused by a number of health conditions (like pancreatitis or dental disease), so it’s super important to have them checked over by a vet. They’ll be able to provide a diagnosis and help you make the best decision going forward.
