Cats tend to thrive when they eat their moisture. Most wet food is about 70% moisture which is about the same as the kind of prey cats would eat whole, like mice.

Your standard kibble is full of carbohydrates that cat saliva doesnt break down, so unless the cat is scraping their teeth effectively they'll need some dental work eventually.

Turkey necks are great treats that help with teeth cleaning, since the cartilage can help scrape.
