I think wet is better - either canned (preferably quality grain-free canned) or properly prepared raw. Wet food better replicates what cats would eat in the wild. Dry food is highly processed, and most contain lots of grains/carbs and lack moisture which cats need. There are a number of diseases which dry food may exacerbate - I'll give some links which discuss this more. My cat did fine on dry food until he developed diabetes at 12 years. There is this 'myth' that dry food cleans teeth. I don't buy it. Dental issues occur in many cats and most are dry fed. Dental disease has factors other than diet. Keep your cats teeth clean at home and professionally.

If you have to feed dry, the grain-free, higher protein brands are better.
