Dry Dog Food Vs Canned Dog Food

DRY vs. CANNED Dog Food?

Whats better for dogs overall not just your dog?

Many consumers have been taught that canned foods should play a limited role in a dogs diet and that a good dry food provides all they need. In fact, a high quality canned food offers benefits not available in a dry kibble. For one, no matter the quality, a dry food can’t ever be much more than 50% meat due to the manufacturing process involved. Dogs are carnivorous animals and should have a diet of 75% meat or more. Canines in the wild consume almost meat exclusively. When was the last time you saw a wolf hunting for rice and wheat?

A high quality canned food that uses only whole meats, vegetables, and grains, is a very healthy source of nutrition. It is highly palatable, easy to digest, and the moisture aids in digestion and kidney function. They typically have no preservatives, and do not increase stool volumes. Again, this rule generally only pertains to a quality product.
