My six kitties get almost entirely grain free wet food, but they all get some dry in varying degrees, because actually all of them like dry better, and because if we go away our cat sitter can only come for one meal a day and they all eat two.
Currently when my only cat with past urinary issues does have dry food, it's Hills Rx c/d, unfortunately (I know it's garbage, but it works). The other adults eat Natural Balance limited ingredient when they have dry food. I'm looking to get out of the whole Rx thing, and also to have just one dry food all the adults can eat, if safe for all involved.
For the record, two of the others at one time years ago had some crystals, but never blocked and I got them off the foods (wet) they were on at that time and it resolved and did not return.
I have issues with the ingredients in almost all dry foods, but after researching a lot I think I could live with giving them Wysong Uretic.
So the question is, would Wysong Uretic be appropriate for all of my adult kitties, in small quantities (and while still feeding them primarily wet food)?
For reference, here are the ingredients in the Wysong Uretic. It's not my ideal (and nothing that's close to being affordable is my ideal), and there's totally unnecessary vegetation, but no fish, and it's got a really good protein percentage (42%) so I'm guessing the actual amounts of vegetation must be fairly small.
