My cat hates wet urinary food. Can I feed him the dry version instead?

Question

My cats been prescribed royal canin wet so food for urinary issues. Thing is, he hates it. I can get it in him but he picks at it. I've added fortiflora, crushed treats, water, etc. he still doesn't love it. Thing is, he loves the dry version of the same food. He drinks a ton of water on this food. Would it be so terrible to give him the dry version? Oh I've also tried every single company's version of the prescription food too so it's not one brand. He hates them all ( wet). Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 6 months old | 19 lbs

Yes! You can certainly feed him the dry version. We like them to eat the canned food because of the higher water content but it is not imperative. Drinking a lot of water is good and it sounds like he is doing that anyway. If the water intake is excessive though, you may want to have Duck examined by your vet and have some bloodwork done to check his kidney values and blood sugar levels to make sure there is no other underlying issues. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
