Have you tried mixing wet food and water with some dry? That's how I
got Mr. Picky (aka Barnabus) to eat the wet stuff. He used to hate
canned food, and would never eat it.

I'm presuming that any food low in magnesium (according to vet) will
help prevent urinary tract issues, but Barnabus likes the smelly stuff
(or rather, "Stinky" as we call his meals). *The smellier it is, the
more he seems to like it (((((shudder))))).

on my Friskies can... Just prior to the listing of ingredients, it's
shows "Analysis". It says that Magnesium has a MAX of 0.024%
Magnesium in the entire can.
