The Benefits of Wet Dog Food

Wet food has several benefits for your dog over dry food products.

Wet food for dogs is high in protein and nutritious fats, while also being lower in carbohydrates that can upset digestion. This not only offers the vitamins and minerals that your dog needs but is often much more appealing in terms of flavour.

Wet food is also high in water content, which is better for keeping your dogs hydrated and healthy.

Wet food for dogs can come in a range of flavours and textures to suit their palate. There are even specialist mixes for weight loss and hypoallergenic mixes for dogs with health problems that can help alleviate associated symptoms.

What is Wet Food Made From?

The key ingredient in wet food for dogs is ground meat which is high in protein. This can include duck, beef, lamb, salmon, turkey, chicken, or any combination of these meats.

The meat is mixed with a special gravy that contains the vitamins and minerals that aid in a dog’s diet. The food is then cooked and sterilised for protection before being packaged.

In most cases, wet food for dogs has between 70 to 80% moisture content, which is better for hydration and keeping your dogs both healthy and regular.

If you prefer, you can try mixing dry dog food with wet food to give your dog the combined nutritional benefits of both products.

Do Dogs Prefer Wet Food?

Yes. There are several reasons why dogs frequently prefer wet food compared to dry food products.

The first is that the overall flavour of wet food products is richer compared to dry foods. Wet food often closely resembles the fresh meat that many dogs crave.

Finally, wet food can come in a range of textures, from chunks in gravy to pate, meaning even the pickiest of eaters will find something to enjoy.

Common Misconceptions About Wet Food

A common misconception about wet food for dogs is that they are bad for their teeth. While it is true that dry food can be better for tarter control, wet food will not harm the teeth of your dogs, and you can prevent tarter buildup with regular vet visits or by mixing dry and wet food products.

Another misconception is that wet food is a more expensive option. While the initial cost of wet food is greater than that of dry food, giving your dog a mixed diet is often more cost-effective in the long term.
