Dry dog ​​food is the dog food we usually buy. It comes in big bags and is in granular form and contains very little water. Wet dog food refers to dog food that contains more water, such as canned dog food and Miaoxian bags. Some friends also said that the wet food for dogs is not limited to these, and there is also real wet food instead of such snack food. However, it is rarely sold in China because the price of this kind of food is too expensive. There is no market. This possibility is not ruled out, but to be honest, the types of wet food that can be found in the domestic pet market are really very limited.

1. Why is it recommended for dogs with normal health to eat dry dog ​​food?

Because dry dog ​​food contains less water and has hard particles, the dog can rub the surface of the teeth when eating, reducing the formation of tartar on the teeth. With less tartar, the dog's gums will be relatively healthier. Healthy gums mean healthy teeth. Healthy teeth for dogs Dogs can eat very well. Moreover, when dogs eat dry dog ​​food, their poop is relatively dry and easy to clean up. The poop is not easy to get on the hair around the dog’s anus, which saves us a lot of trouble. If you can continue to eat dog dry food, you can also reduce the bad habits of dogs being picky eaters. But most parents can’t do it. At least I always feel that it would be really pitiful for a dog to eat only those dry things all his life.

2. Under what circumstances is it better for dogs to eat wet food?

Dog wet food usually smells good and can arouse the dog's appetite. Therefore, in order to make the sick dog eat more, we can give it wet food. Moreover, wet dog food is easier to digest and is more suitable for sick dogs. But one thing to note is that wet dog food containing too much oil is not suitable for sick dogs, because too much oil can easily cause dogs to have diarrhea, which is even worse for sick dogs. You can choose chicken or Low-fat canned fish or Miao Xian Bao. In addition, for dogs that don’t like to drink water, you can also increase the amount of wet dog food fed to them so that they can get more water from the food. Dogs with bad teeth cannot chew dry dog ​​food. You can consider soaking the dry dog ​​food and adding a small amount of canned dog food to increase the flavor. Try not to give it wet dog food entirely.

3. Disadvantages of dog wet food

1) It is easy to cause dogs to be picky eaters: Usually after dogs eat wet food, they will lose interest in dry and tasteless dry food, and they will no longer wolf down dog dry food as before. Over time, they have become more and more picky, so now many parents have no choice but to mix various delicious foods into dry food to attract dogs to eat some dry dog ​​food.

2) The raw materials of wet food may be of poor quality: As we all know, jam is made from the worst fruits of the same kind. If you beat them into jam, you will not be able to distinguish their original quality at all. The same goes for wet dog food. We cannot guarantee the quality of the content inside, and wet dog food also contains more preservatives than dry dog ​​food. TheseAll factors make the quality of wet dog food impossible to guarantee. It may be better if you buy wet dog food from a big brand, but the price is not ridiculous.

3) Problems caused by overnutrition: Dogs are animals that easily gain weight, especially some types of dogs that can easily become fat. Wet dog food contains more protein and fat than dry dog ​​food, which are causes of dog obesity. For some dogs with kidney disease and elderly dogs, more nutrients can easily cause some diseases. Therefore, these dogs should eat dry dog ​​food, and they should also eat dry dog ​​food with relatively low protein and fat content.
