Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 2 months old | 17 lbs
Hi, I have a 3 y-o male cat who recently suffered a urethral blockage. I'm feeding him wet food for urinary care, but he prefers dry food. I want to get him urinary care dry food, but also have a 2 y-o female cat. She doesn’t have urinary issues, so I don't want to feed her the wrong food for her needs. They are not taking to a feeding schedule, so I want to try to get a dry food that they can both eat. Would my girl be safe eating the urinary care dry food as well? Thanks!

As long as she is also fully grown it would be ok for her to eat urinary diet. Wet food is preferred in affected cats due to water content, consider a water fountain and water bowls on every room to encourage drinking and try to feed some meals of wet food
