Canned Dog Food
Learn The Benefits & Drawbacks

Are you considering adding canned dog food to your dog's daily diet? It can be an excellent nutritional source if you are using it correctly and under the right circumstances.

Here are a few tips on the benefits and the downside of using wet food.

1. Wet food taste great, so for pick eaters it's perfect.
2. Does your dog have kidney issues? It is loaded with water which help your dog use the bathroom frequently.
3. Does your dog have bad teeth? It is soft and easy to chew.

• It comes in small portions and doesn't contain a large amount of calories, so for a large dog it would not be practical to feed wet food by itself.
• You should also know that dogs that don't have something solid to chew on like dry dog food or chew bones can suffer dental problems because they aren't getting their teeth clean.
• It's also possible that too much wet food could upset your dog's tummy causing diarrhea.

Like every pet owner, people question what the main differences between dry dog food and canned dog food? It's a good question because the differences are big and if you don't know what they are, you could potentially damage your dog's health. The differences between dry and canned food are listed below:

1. Fiber - A canned food will have a lower fiber content than your dry dog foods. A canned food will generally only have about a .20% fiber content but a dry dog food runs in the neighborhood of about 1.2% fiber content. This is a big difference if you figure it out, it's about six times as much in the dry food.
2. Moisture Content - It should be obvious that a canned food will contain anywhere from 60-90% moisture where as a dry dog food only contains between 6-10% moisture.
3. Calories - Because canned food contains such a high percentage of water, the actual calorie content of dry food is higher. A dry food runs about 1600 calories per pound and a canned food is generally only about 200 calories per pound.
