Can I mix regular food with my picky cat's urinary diet prescription?

Question

Hi, my cat is on a urinary s/o and calm dry food diet. He is not very fond of the dry food, and he’ll only eat it if he’s really hungry. I also feed him regular wet food twice daily (he doesn’t like the urinary wet food either.) I worry that he doesn’t eat enough of it, and I found that the only way to get him to eat it is if I mix a small amount of regular dry cat food with a large amount of his vet food. Is this okay to do? Will the vet food have the same effect? Otherwise he won’t eat it. Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Male | neutered | 4 years and 1 month old | 8 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Chase. This is fine to do. It's only a small amount of regular dry cat food, and he's getting mostly vet food. If that's what you have to do to get him to eat it, do it. I hope this helps!
