Should I feed my cats both wet and dry urinary tract health food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 10 lbs

I have 10 cats all ranging from 1-5 years of age. I have been feeding them wet/dry mix food. They are eating Purina one Urinary tract health in both wet and dry food. Is this ok to give them that kind in both wet and dry or should I consider mixing the Urinary health dry food with the Purina beyond wet food instead? Thank you

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If your goal is urinary tract health then canned food is better than wet because there is more water content. The increased water content dilutes the urine so if they have crystals they would have less crystals voided in more dilute urine thus causing less irritation. Have a great day!
