Many people will argue that canned food is better for your pet than dry food. The bottom line is that your pet’s nutrition is a priority for you. At the end of the day, there really is no single right or wrong way to feed your pet, that is unless you’re feeding it directly from the table. What does matter is that you choose food that is as healthy as it is soft or crunchy and is suited for any medical condition. The purpose of this article is not to claim that one type of food is better than the other for your pet, but to provide the advantages of each so that you can choose what you feel is the best for your pet based on its needs.
Here are a few important advantages to consider when purchasing dry food for your pet. You find that some of these advantages are about as cut and dry as the food itself. First dry food is easier to measure and store. Most dry foods don’t have an expiration date and can be stored for long periods of time. Dry foods in general are also less expensive than wet foods, which means more savings. Dry food also serves as a basic convenience for pet owners who are too busy to feed their dogs during the day. It’s easy to just leave some food in a dish to feed your pet while you're gone until you return from work or a short trip. Dry foods also make good training treats to reward your dog. Finally, there is also an oral benefit to using dry food. Dry food can be used as a dental supplement to help shape and clean teeth as the animal chews it. Certain dry foods are designed to clean the teeth of your pet while protecting it from gum problems as it gets older.
