I'm not an expert in food ingredients by any means, and get more information from the folks here than I find by doing the google.
I noticed that my local Petsmart has started to carry Friskies Urinary Health canned food. My cats personal junk food is Friskies canned food and I buy it for them once in a while to keep their lives interesting. My Muddy is chronic FLUID and on prescription dry (free fed) and prescription wet (morning meal). Our evening wet meal for everyone is a mid-quality wet food with the occasional junk food thrown in. I bought a couple cans of the Friskies Urinary Health food and gave it to them tonight for dinner. They seemed to really like it.
If this means getting more urinary health food into Muddy, then I'll buy more of it. But if it's a junk food manufacturer's ruse to get you to buy something you think might help your cat but really doesn't, then I'll steer clear of it. If it's no better than junk food, then I'll treat it as such.
Can anyone help me analyze it's content?
