Improved Urinary Tract Health — When you feed your kitten a diet of dry kibble mixed with a high moisture wet food, it increases your kitten’s water intake, resulting in more urine production. The higher volume dilutes the urine while increasing the frequency of urination — both of which help prevent the formation of mineral crystals or urinary stones.

Better Weight Management — WALTHAM® studies have shown that kittens fed a high-moisture diet eat less, gain less weight per calorie eaten and have increased activity levels compared to kittens fed only dry food. What’s more, owners tend to better control the size of their kitten’s meal portions when part of the diet contains wet food.
