Pet owners often call the store’s consultants to determine what type of food, dry or wet, is best for feeding a dog. How to find out which kind of food is right? Check our ThePets infographic to compare these two types of food in terms of quality, safety, and cost.
Dry food Dry diets will not ruin the family budget.
Choose dry food if the budget does not allow you to buy canned food. One of the main advantages of dehydrated granules for dogs is the budget approach since a food bag is relatively cheap. Dry food is perfect if there is not much space in the refrigerator to store dog food. Unlike canned food, dry food after opening is stored on a shelf. Do not worry about finding a place in the fridge and preserving the taste and freshness of food.
Work and travel
Buy dry food if you usually leave home for a long time. Granules for dogs are also ideal if you do not want to monitor the filling of the plate closely. Leave dry food in a bowl.
Canned food Health issues
Give the dog canned food if it has health problems. Canned foods contain more water and fewer carbohydrates. This is useful for pets with urinary tract disorders, as water helps with this problem. Wet foods do not allow dehydration, especially if animals suffer from heat or are very active. A canned diet is best for pets who have delicate gums and lack some of the fangs. Dogs with small jaws also benefit from this type of food.
Loss of appetite
If the animal has lost appetite due to illness or age, the smell of canned food stimulates the production of gastric juices. Choose canned foods with a high concentration of protein. Foods in jars contain more meat and natural fats than dry granules. The pet will benefit from a high-protein diet, as dogs tend to digest foods high in protein. High-quality canned foods contain fewer preservatives than dry foods. If the dog is sensitive to these ingredients, choose canned food.
