If you have already checked dog food on the shelves you'll see immediately that the wet dog food is more expensive. Is that canned food is actually worth it or is it just false marketing? Unfortunately, many dog owners truly believe that just because the canned expensive must be better quality food for your dog. Let's check out the advantages of both.

The advantages of dry

1 Practicality: If you're one of those dog owners who likes to pour dog food in a dog dish and then just leave the rest of the day, it would definitely be more convenient for you. There is a lack of it, though. This can cause obesity. Most dogs will eat what is before them, whether it be a glass or three čaše.Izmjerena amount once in the morning and once at night is always the best habit to get in.

2 cheaper dry dog food is cheaper than wet, but always make sure to read labels. You should always have his or proteins or carbohydrates listed first followed by a good fat. Here is an example of what the label should look like this:

chicken, chicken meal, potatoes, chicken fat

(which includes all protein such as beef, chicken, lamb, fish, bison, deer, etc.)

or

Potatoes, chicken (or chicken meal) chicken fat

(this includes sweet potatoes and brown rice ... never white rice), any protein and / or protein meal)

Do not buy food that has corn (this is just a filler), soybeans (causes many allergies) or white rice. There is no nutritional value to this food. Never buy something that is a by-product of any kind in it!

3 calorie density: There is a lot more calories in the density of dry dog food due to wet a lot of water in it. Remember, if you are going dry, "premium" dog food is better. Please understand that although it will cost you more at the box office, you will use less time feeding because of their nutritional value, therefore, the price will actually do the same.

Advantages of Wet

1 digest: One advantage of the wet it is very digestible. If you are good at reading labels to make sure there are no by-products, corn, soybeans or white rice, you will need nutritional food. You have to understand that food will not do anything for your teeth. Dogs need to chew, so make sure he / she has a chew bone. Make sure that the "raw" and never cooked. Raw beef rib bones are good.

2 Texture: If you have an older dog with teeth problems wet will obviously be better for them. It is soft, easily digestible and will go down easily, not to mention be more comfortable for your teeth. Your veterinarian will need to help you with your teeth problem.

If you decide to wet to dry, do not choose a product because the label looks so mouthwatering that you are sure that your dog will love it. Read those labels first and choose foods that will give your pet a sufficient amount of calories in one serving, while providing all the nutrients he / she needs to keep them healthy and energetic.
