Most dog owners have heard of dry dog food and wet (canned) dog food formulas, but did you know that there’s also soft dry dog food formulas?
With all of the dog food options out there, choosing one for your dog can feel overwhelming. A good first step is deciding which form of dog food is right for your dog.
Made of crunchy, dry kibble pieces, dry food for dogs has many benefits. For one, it’s convenient. It’s sold in larger portions than wet food, which means fewer trips to the store and possibly a cost savings. It also takes longer to spoil and does not need to be refrigerated after it’s opened, so it can be left out for longer periods of time. If you choose to feed your dog dry food formulas, it may be beneficial to his teeth, too, because crunchy kibble can help remove plaque from dogs’ teeth as they chew.
Wet dog food formulas have the highest water content, so it is the softest of the three forms. It is a great choice for dogs that are picky eaters or have difficulty chewing hard kibble due to dental problems or illness. It can be fed on its own or as a topper on dry kibble to provide a boost of flavor and moisture.
