Is wet food better than dry food for dogs?

Neither is universally better. Wet food carries far more moisture and is usually more palatable, which helps fussy eaters, recovering dogs and seniors with dental wear; dry food is more economical per calorie and easier to portion.

How long does an opened tin or pouch keep?

Refrigerate immediately and use within 24 to 48 hours. Leaving wet food in the bowl for more than about twenty minutes in Ahmedabad's warmth is asking for bacterial growth, particularly through the monsoon months.

Can wet food be my dog's only diet?

Yes, if it is labelled complete and balanced rather than complementary. Complementary foods — most gravies and toppers — are not formulated to be fed alone and will leave gaps if they make up the whole diet.

Does wet food cause dental problems?

Wet food does not clean teeth the way some kibble shapes do, but dry food is not a substitute for dental care either. Brushing is what actually controls plaque; dental chews help between brushings.
