You just sprinkle a bit on the food and it helped a lot. We ended up swicthing over to a raw diet and it worked even better. Cats are harder as they are very picky. I would try your hardest to get him to eat some kind of moist food though. It really does make a big difference in kidney health later on in his life as most cats done get enough water for the kidneys to age normally. Fresh tuna or other kinds of fish is a good way to start it. Also mincing the meat you are offering helps a lot too as most cats dont like to get dirty or have to chew much. I know people who supplement with live rodents. I used to work at a cats only vet clinic and I would hear some crazy stories.
Thanks, we've talked with our vet and she recommend keeping him on it for at least 4 more months.

We are working to get him off of dry kibble, but he loves it sooo much, it's pretty difficult.

I actually thought about how easy it would be to toss him a dead rat, but I think the mess would be too much!!! LOL

It's not like that at all with my other cat. You can tell from the other room who is in the litter box....and then the stink follows him! It's not a food change issue or anything, as they have been on a mix of the wet and dry versions of that food since Oct. at least. I'm at a loss, and my cat stinks! Let me know if you get your kitty to stop stinking!!
I don't know about the ingredients with Natural balance, but if it has any veggie matter, they may have issues with it. Try switching to a diet without any veggies for 4 months (my vet recommends at least that long) and see how it goes.

It may end up being your cat is like mine and the stink gets worse!!!

But I am really devoted to working with him to get him to a at least partial raw / wet diet. He is only a year and half old, but he is already snubbing any wet food, so it will be some time.

Pretty much following the advice of this site: http://www.catinfo.org and www.catnutrition.org
