		<description>Hi Nick,

If animals are fed a raw diet, they will need to drink very little water because they are getting the necessary moisture from the food that they consume. When they are fed highly processed dry food, or even canned food, it is impossible for them to take in enough water from the food that they eat. Remember, our domestic felines come from African desert stock who have very little access to water and so don&#039;t drink alot in the wild. When our domestic cats are fed dry food, their instincts to drink alot of extra water to compensate for the lack they would get eating fresh killed food...simply aren&#039;t there. That&#039;s why there are so many kidney bladder problems in cats!

Thanks</description>
