Micky is overweight, so is on a diet. He eats 1/4 cup of Canidae Platinum, with one baby carrot mixed in. I always put the dry food down in the morning, so if he wants to snack during the day he can, but he never does. He always waits till I get home to add his baby carrot. I also wet his food with hot water to bring out the flavor and add some moisture. I don't let it soak though, just wet it. Sometimes I mix in some chicken or turkey canned food as well, but never much, just a spoonful. He's actually down a few pounds. He was 13, but now he's 11.2. My grandparents always feed him junk, so its a lost cause sometimes. When we got him he weighed 8.8, so that's what I'd like to get him down to again.
