Comparison of the pros and cons of dry food and wet food

The common types of dog food on the market can be mainly divided into two categories. One is dry puffed dog food, which is what we often call dry food; the other is wet canned dog food.

1. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of dry food and wet food:

1. The advantages of dry puffed dog food are: 1. Easy to digest and absorb well; 2. The most balanced nutritional content; 3. Long shelf life, easy to carry, affordable price and other advantages have won the favor of many dog ​​owners. However, the disadvantages of dry food are: its taste is relatively single, and various preservatives, antioxidants and other ingredients are added during the production process. After high-temperature puffing, some nutrients are lost, making it less palatable for dogs. Generally used as a staple food for dogs.

2. Wet canned dog food is mainly composed of meat, starch, fruits, vegetables and grain raw materials. This type of dog food can be eaten and opened immediately. Its taste is much better than that of dry puffed dog food. It has a good taste and its digestibility is also much higher than the former. The disadvantage is: the production ingredients are higher, so its price is higher than the former. For adult dogs with larger appetites, it is difficult to meet the dog’s eating needs by feeding this type of dog food alone. Generally used as supplementary food.

2. Key points for choosing dog food:

When choosing dog food for your dog for the first time, you can first choose two or three small packages of dog food. Let your dog try the food for a while and carefully observe how your dog reacts to different brands of dog food. For example, you can pay attention to whether the palatability of the dog's food is better, how well the dog digests it, and the color and state of the dog's excrement.

3. Pay attention to the correct way to store dog food:

In addition, you should also pay attention to the correct storage methods of different types of dog food. Generally speaking, dog food will take a long time to be eaten after it is opened, so the preservation of dog food is very critical.

For canned food, it is necessary to put it in the refrigerator; for dry food, it is necessary to keep it sealed to avoid contamination or moisture, which will destroy the nutritional value and taste.
