Mixing cat urinary food with regular food: Will it still work?

Question

My cat had a uniary block. I'm feeding both cats the uniary food now. It doesn't fill them up, I go through it 2ce as fast and it's filled with gluten corn meal and fillers. I was feeding them the best possible food I could before hand and avoided buying good with fillers and stuff Thats not good for them. My question is if I were to mix the unitary good with the food I was feeding them previously would that still be effective? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 17 lbs

I am sorry to hear about Kitten! I would not recommend mixing the other food with the urinary food for the affected cat, because it will make the diet less effective. You don't mention if the food you are now feeding is a prescription diet food or an over the counter food. Your vet may have a recommendation for you if you are not satisfied with the current diet, as there are several different urinary diets available for cats. I would not be concerned with a small amount of corn or gluten in the food. The concern with gluten in pet foods is a big marketing strategy right now with pet food companies and we are less concerned with these ingredients than the marketing would make you believe. Another option is a specially formuated homemade diet. You can work with https://secure.balanceit.com/ and your vet to determine if there is an appropriate homemade diet for your kitty. Best of luck to you and kitten!
