Hello. I agree with you. If Milo is eating the wet food with no problems then skip the tonic & just continue to feed the wet food. Cats actually do better with a wet or canned food diet so if he does well on it, just continue. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Eric. You may ask your veterinarian about Purina Hydracare. It is a specially formulated liquid nutritional supplement for cats. It provides fluid as well as electrolytes. It is generally tasty to cats. It is designed for renal disease in cats, but could potentially benefit Eric as well. I hope this information helps!

Wellness, Weruva and Royal Canin are all good choices. When it comes to a canned food, look for one with a named protein source of animal (not plant) origin. Choose a food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Avoid foods with gravies or sauces. These are typically higher in carbs which can predispose a cat to obesity. Avoid meat meals, by-products as well as store or discount brands. These latter two contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.

I typically recommend wet food with some dry food mixed in or given as treats, depending on Arabella's weight. Wet food helps maintain adequate hydration which can be beneficial for their kidneys and urinary system. It also has built in portion control and can help with maintaining a normal weight. I would talk to your vet about the proper amounts to feed Arabella but most cats are going to need about 200 calories per day.

In mild cases, any wet food may be sufficient to keep the urine suitably dilute to prevent recurrence but i would recommend 6weeks of the specialist urinary wet food to stabilise and maximise recovery. If symptoms recur then i would recommend urinary food only thereafter
