Dry and Canned Pet Foods - What is the Difference for Your Pet? By S Bell

The biggest nutritional difference between dry food and canned food is water. Some canned foods are up to 70% water, Semi-moist foods have about 33% water, and dry food is usually only about 10%. There are some other pros and cons as well. Dry Foods: * Made up of cereal, vegetable protein, bone and meat meal. * The best for the teeth and gums. * Considerably less inexpensive. Semi-Moist Foods: * Contain much higher protein content than canned food. * mostly composed of meat by-products and vegetable protein. * Best used in conjunction with dry foods, or used as treat. * More expensive than dry foods, be sure it meets your dog's nutritional needs. Canned Foods: * Composed of meats, meat by-products, vegetables and grains. * Most dogs prefer taste to dry foods. * Will not remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums, which requires frequent dental care. * Can cause diarrhea unless supplemented with dry food or biscuits. * very expensive when compared to the two above. Just be sure you are feeding your dog a quality dog food designed to meet the nutritional needs of your dog at his/her current life age. For my own dog we feed Diamond rice and lamb formula with the occasional meal of soft dog food just to keep her from becoming bored with her main dry food, the soft food is a nice treat as well. At all costs avoid feeding them table scraps, as this will decrease appetite for the dog food that is the primary source of nutrition.It is our belief that through informative training we can achieve our vision of happy dog owners with obedient pets, We strive to keep the best pet info on the net. ======== Please visit us at http://www.faithful-companion.net for more information and also check out our dog training tool kit.
