The Impact of Dry Cat Food on Feline Hydration: A Dual Mechanism of Moisture Deprivation

by Doug Hines, AbbeyLaneCats.org

A Very Serious Subject...

The Truth About Dry Food

Listen to the latest podcast by Cat Talk Radio with Molly DeVoss and Dewey Vaughn.

Think dry food is just a crunchy convenience? Think again. In this episode, Molly and Dewey dive into listener Doug Hines' research uncovering the "double danger" of kibble — how it not only lacks moisture but also steals it from your cat's body during digestion.

Learn why chronic dehydration is quietly sabotaging feline health, what really causes that "mystery puke," and whether the old "dry food cleans teeth" myth holds any water. (Spoiler: it doesn't.)

Grab your water bottle — and your cat's — this is one episode that might just change what's in your food bowl tonight.


An Appeal to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr...

- On Behalf of Pet Lovers Everywhere

Screen Shot 2026-01-07 at 16.19.58
Mr. Kennedy, You have clearly expressed your intention to Make America HEALTHY Again, and we all owe you a debt of gratitude for doing so. Most food manufacturers have put profit above the health concerns of the American People for far too long.
 
This same criminality permeates the pet food industry as well.
 
I have investigated the ingredients in over 1,500 individual cat food products. I have found that, for years and years, some of the biggest cat food manufacturers in this country have used ingredients in their products detrimental to a cat’s long-term health.
 
Both cats and cat parents, guardians, caregivers, and enthusiasts have suffered due to manufacturers greed. 
Undoubtedly, some cats have perished as a direct result of eating bad cat food.
 
Furthermore, manufacturers have used manipulative marketing strategies to sell their products to the unsuspecting, uneducated public - again, for far too long.

While you are investigating the criminality in the human food industry, Please – for the sake of our pets – Please investigate the pet food industry as well.

The Criminality Evident in Human Food Production is TEN TIMES WORSE in Pet Food Production.

Sincerely,
Doug Hines, AbbeyLaneCats.org
