I just looked at Ginger's Pure Vita( Nutri Source), no grain cat food and it has 0.08 magnesium, should I be concerned? I feed this as a supplement to her canned kitten food? I have always heard that dry food caused urinary issues in cats. I never realized that they get most of their liquid intake from eating, so they are not big water drinkers. I think the reason people feed dry food is convenience, no muss no fuss.
