Aloha, sorry I don't have an opinion on this particular dry food but I do have one on dry food in general. First off I would say don't use it. Then I say if you feel you must, mix it with wet. I spent 7k in 2013 on Blackie Boy who had recurring bouts with crystals he could not pass mostly due to dry food high carb/ grain content and next to no moisture. Even grain free dry was a problem. You might want to read up on either catinfo.org by DVM Lisa Pierson or Dr. Karen Becker. Blew me away to read about the criminal greedy pet food manufactures methods and vets that get kickbacks to recommend their pet prescription foods. I was caught up in all of that and paid dearly. Wishing you and your kitties well.

I always recommend feeding canned. I feed mine canned food at night and I water it down really well to
