SHOULD I GIVE MY DOG ?DRY OR WET FOOD?(Hundefutter)

When choosing what to feed your dog, the first thing you should do is choose the way you want to feed it, dry or wet food? Both can offer balanced and healthy nutrition, but is there one better than the other? Which one is best for your dog?


DRY FOOD

There are many benefits associated with eating dry food:

Comfort: dry food does not need refrigeration once opened. This simplifies the way to save it and is very practical when traveling with your pet. To this is added that dry food has a longer shelf life and is usually sold in larger packages.

Hygiene and dental health: dry and crunchy croquettes help clean teeth and reduce plaque when your dog chews.

Less expensive: dry foods tend to be cheaper than wet foods.

 

HUMID FOOD

Wet or canned is a great option for dogs as it offers:

Pleasant taste: wet food offers great flavor and aroma. It can be great for dogs that are more selective with food.

Smooth texture: these types of foods are usually softer and easier to chew for dogs with sensitive teeth and gums.

Humidity: thanks to its high water content, wet foods can help improve water consumption since these types of foods are composed of more than 65% humidity.

MIX HUMID AND DRY FOOD

A third option is to mix both types of food, dry and wet. Add a tablespoon of wet food on top of the dry food to add a touch of flavor and moisture that many dogs love.

It is also a great way to give your dog more variety while keeping dry food as its main food and avoid having stomach discomfort from dietary changes. Remember that if you decide to go this way and add some wet food, you should reduce the dry food a bit so as not to overfeed your dog. Mix food with different flavors and textures.

You want your dog to enjoy his meals, but you also want him to receive all the recommended nutrients according to his needs.(Katzenfutter)
