Dry Dog Food vs Canned Dog Food
Everyone canine owner has to do it; decide which kind of dog food they’re going to feed their pooch! Turkey, tuna, beef…along with dry dog food vs canned dog food! This can sometimes be decision overload, but I am going to try happy-dog-and simplify the pros and cons of each for you.
Canned Dog Foods
Pros:
Many dogs do not drink as much water as they should, which is a benefit to canned dog foods because they contain mostly water! If your dog is reluctant to drink as much as he needs, a good alternative could be to feed him canned dog foods. Health considerations can also make canned food your number one option. I have found that older dogs may be more inclined to eat canned food as they have more flavor and a richer scent. Use canned foods also if your pet is ill and cannot taste or smell as well as they normally could. Dogs with misaligned jaws, missing teeth or smaller mouths should also be considered for canned dog foods.
Cons:
It is true, canned dogs food can sometimes leave a mess behind when your dog is done feasting. If, like me, you do not like the hassle of cleaning up a mess then this may not be the option for you. If your dog has a predisposition to dental problems, more attentive dental care will most likely be required. Once you open canned food, it no longer hungry-puppy-846165-mhas any shelf life. You will have to cover it and stick it in the refrigerator if you do not want it to spoil. If you want to get the most premium canned dog food, it will most likely cost you more than the most premium dry dog food. So economically, canned food is going to lose to dry dog food.
Dry Dog Food
Pros:
The convenience!! Dog food that is dry can be left out for days and not spoil, leaving your dog with a supply of food more often. Just stick the food in a covered plastic bin and it will be kept fresh and away from rodents and insects. dry-dog-food- As I mentioned in the canned food section, dry dog food is definitely more cost-effective and will save you if you have multiple pets to feed. Dental cleaning would be another benefit, some dry foods are shaped to clean your canine’s teeth as he chews on it.
Cons:
Dry foods are, well, lacking moisture. Wet canned foods are going to give your dog more liquids that are important, especially if your dog is aged or ill. If you live in a dry and hot climate, you may want to consider canned foods so your dog is getting enough hydration.
Making that Decision
When it comes down to it, both foods will be able to satisfy your dog’s nutritional needs. Canned dog food will smell and taste better, as well as give your pooch some extra hydration. However, it will cost you and you will not be able to store it as easily! So look at your dogs needs; is he old, young, ill, lacking hydration? What kind of climate do you live in? Does he have any special dental needs? I would find out answers to all these questions first and then decide. But also remember, what does your dog prefer?? You won’t get anywhere if your canine won’t even eat the food you’ve bought!
