If Eddie had the choice it would be wet food, but I'd prefer him to eat dried. I compromise by sometimes mixing wet food into the dry ,Nature diet is a good brand ,also you could try making the dry food more interesting by mixing a little grated cheese, tuna or leftover gravy into it.When he was younger I often added water to make it softer.
Eddie had a tray of Ceaser one time when I was out of his regular food and he seemed to love it.
