Wet or Dry Dog Food.. which is the better choice?

There are so many choices of dog food - do you want to choose wet food, dry food, moist food and then there are the choices of brands. Where do you start in trying to figure out which one will be best fit for your dog or puppy.

Asking your Vet is one for sure way to find out which is best for your dog, but there are other things that come into play when choosing the right dog food for your dog. Is your dog a Senior? Does your dog have health issues? What is your dog's size/ breed/ etc? What brand and or type will fit into your finances?

Honestly, both kinds of dog food are acceptable. Dry dog food is made up of dry ingredients, small amount of water is added and then the dough is then baked and made into little shapes.. (little bones). You can also check the ingredients to see what mixture your dry dog food is made up of to help determine what your dog likes, dislikes or needs as a part of his health program.

Wet dog food contains wet ingredients such as meat, vegetables and have more water included in the mixture. Canned foods are more easily digested but sometimes can cause stomach problems, especially if eating too quickly. Wet food is a great choice for older dogs who have a hard time chewing or have teeth issues as it is softer in their mouth.

The best way to choose the right food for your dog is to research and talk with your Vet. Your Vet can provide you with important nutritional value advice and a direction that you need that will be best for your dog.
