Fun fact: Cats can exist on a diet of purely "wet" food, and in many cases it's better for them. Cats are strict carnivores and the non-meat byproducts in dry food is not good for them. Also, dry food doesn't contain nearly enough moisture to keep a cat properly hydrated. Cats would naturally get most of their moisture from eating meat, not from drinking it.
However, to keep their teeth healthy, they also need a decent amount of bone meal in their diet.
However, most cats can do just fine on dry food diets with a steady supply of fresh water. But some cats will actually become fatter due to the vegetable portion of their diet being stored almost completely as fat because it's not a natural part of their diet.
Dogs are a lot easier since they are closer to being omnivores and can do just fine with a dry food diet and sufficient fresh water.

They like the fish flavors; chicken, beef, turkey...they barely touch those. And other brands we've tried, they won't eat. My mom just donated most of a box of some other brand to the vet's office. The boy seems to prefer the wet food, though, and the girl seems to prefer the dry...
