Is wet food healthy for adult cats? Does it help with urinary health?

Question

Is canned wet food healthy for an adult male cat to eat? I usually feed my cats a measured amount of dry food in the morning, and wet food at night. Is there anything I can give them for maximum nutrition? What would be an ideal diet plan for adult cats? What about kittens? I feed them Purina gentle, although I hope to be switching to grain free food soon. Thanks! Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 11 months and 28 days old | 12 lbs

In most cases now we actually recommend wet/canned food for urinary tract health and kidney health because cats have a tendency to not take in enough water otherwise! So I would recommend canned/wet food. I am a fan of purina pro plan foods. They also have foods specific to ages (adult, adult 7+, adult 11+ ) to choose from depending on your cat's age and can be found at most pet stores.
