Dry Dog Food?

Question

I feed my dog dry food AND wet. It doesen't hurt my dog, does it? I have heard people say that dry food is better than wet. Yes, I know it is but scince I am feeding both, it makes a differnce right???? Royal canin (Dry) Canidae And innova (Wet) So can i continue doing this?

Answer 1

I've always fed a main diet of dry food, and only really fed wet food as a treat.

It's perfectly fine to feed both, but I would suggest the majority of the meal being dry. By all means, mix some wet food in with the dry kibble. They love the extra taste. Just plain kibble can get boring.

Answer 2

I assume you mix some wet with the dry - which is fine if it agrees with your dog.

Good dry kibble, and it sounds as if you are feeding good brands, has more nutrition than wet which is mostly water, but most dogs like wet canned for the taste, so mixing a bit of it with the dry is a good idea for most dogs.

I mix a little Canidae chicken and rice canned with the dry kibble (also Canidae chicken and rice) and also add a bit of chopped white meat boneless, skinless, chicken breast and brown rice, with some veggies added.

While dry food does cause less tartar build up than wet, you can give a good strong chewie to help clean your dog's teeth, pigs hoofs, pigs ears, or C.E.T. chews, which have an enzyme in them to fight tartar build up. Kong toys are good too if your dog likes them.


The key is to make any changes to your dog's food gradually so that diarrhea doesn't start.

Sounds as if you are feeding your dog just fine.

Answer 3

I prefer dry dog food because wet dog food can cause diarrhea in many dogs. However, if you are just mixing only a little bit in with the dry dog food I don't see a problem. Plus, Royal Canine and Innova are both great dog foods.

Answer 4

Of course you can, I feed my dogs a mix of both. Wellness Core (all meat and protein) and Wellness wet. The dry is way higher in portion size but is accounted for in calorie intake. It is perfectly fine and safe what oyu are doing.

Answer 5

Can you?? Of course you can, You can feed whatever you want. If I had said NO, would you stop feeding the wet food??

Dry food is best.. helps to keep their teeth clean, doesn't turn them into finicky eaters.. And when they eat dry alone, they don't risk picking up lead that is found in most cans of wet food.. It's your choice tho.. It always is...

Answer 6

There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeding both..matter of fact it is prefered. Dry doesn't prevent tooth issues nor does wet cause them.Wet will also not cause your dog to be a picky eater.

Answer 7

In general dry food is better for your dog's teeth. As they crunch up the dry food it helps scrape off tarter. It doesn't really hurt your dog, but unless your dog refuses to eat dry food there's no point in feeding both

Answer 8

My dog has dry and wet food, both is good, mixed is fine too. My dog loves it!
