The Advantages of Wet Dog Food

Today's dog foods have gotten a facelift. You can serve your dog a blend of beef, lamb, chicken, and nutritious vegetables and grains, and all of which play a major role in providing balanced nutrition for your dog through all stages of his life. Though dry food has often been thought to be the healthier option, wet dog food is just as healthy, too. Here's why:

1. Variety

Both wet and dry foods are equally healthy for dogs. Wet foods often have aroma and taste appeal that can get some picky puppies to eat consistently.  Also, wet foods comes in many options of flavors, textures and forms than dry foods which can provide for varied meal time experiences.

2. Easier to Chew

Many pet parents shy away from offering canned dog food to their pets. They're worried they aren't giving their dogs adequate nutrition, or that wet food harms a dog's teeth. A good-quality wet food can offer your pet balanced nutrition to support and maintain his health throughout all stages of life, and veterinarians say that feeding your dog wet dog food won't harm his teeth or gums. In fact, for older dogs with tooth or gum issues, wet food may be easier to eat than dry.

3. Keeps Well

Look for brands of wet foods that offer complete and balanced nutrition with a balance of wholesome meats, vegetables, grains, vitamins and minerals for a tasty and healthy meal. Beef, lamb, chicken, and wholesome grains and vegetables offer your dog a rewarding mealtime through these nutrients. Wet food in unopened pouches and cans can have a long shelf life but remember to refrigerate them after opening.
