My kitty (1 1/2 years) that will not eat anything but dry food

Question

I have a kitty (1 1/2 years) that will not eat anything but dry food I have tried multiple brands as well as preparing her fresh meat poultry and fish also tried some freeze dried she simply will not eat anything but kibble and a couple of hard treats and sometimes a little peanut butter (just a few licks). I will appreciate any advice to help keep her healthy

Thank you in advance

I have the same issue with my boy Tako.  A dry food afficionado.  Your kitty will be perfectly heathy if you feed a very high quality dry food (after learning better I avoid the boutique newfangled fancy foods), you provide mealtimes and no free-feeding, and you stick to the proper amounts of food per day for your cat's ideal weight.  And you MUST make sure she gets plenty of fresh water.  A few water bowls, and a fountain at a minimum, and many cats enjoy drinking from a sink or tub tap and they can drink a lot that way.

Hydration is Key and if you want to score extra points think about adding feline electrolytes, I have two cats who only eat dry food and I have two water fountains which I empty, strip down and clean every other day.
