My cat won't eat prescription dry urinary care food, but likes wet.

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | 2 years and 9 months old | 10 lbs

My vet had me switch my cats diet to prescription cat food for urinary care but she won’t eat her dry food after mixing it with the urinary care dry food but is eating the wet food for urinary care.

If she is eating the prescription canned diet, that's fine. It is probably better since it has significantly more moisture than the prescription dry food. You can try feeding just the canned diet or mix in a bit of warm water with the prescription dry.
