Nowadays, dogs have rich and varied food, but there are only two kinds, dry food or wet food. These two kinds of dog food have their own advantages and disadvantages. How should the owner choose? Let's get to know!
1、Difference between dry grain and wet grain
The biggest difference is the water content. The moisture content of dry grain is 3% to 12%, and that of wet grain is 60% to 84%. This difference leads to a longer shelf life for dry grains than for wet grains. Another difference is calories. For the same calories, dogs may eat two or three times more wet food than dry food. Therefore, dogs eat dry food more easily.
2、Advantages and disadvantages of dry food
Advantages: easy to keep, easy to carry out, can help clean teeth, relatively cheap.
Disadvantages: May contain preservatives and artificial flavors. Young and old dogs cannot eat hard dry food.
3、 Advantages and disadvantages of wet dog food
Advantages: It can prevent dehydration of dogs, make them more palatable, and control their weight.
Disadvantages: It is inconvenient to carry when going out, and you should wash the bowl every time you eat wet food!
4、Shuangpin dog food There are freeze-dried grains in Shuangpin dog food, which are directly made by air drying meat. The protein of freeze-drying is relatively high. From the perspective of supplementary nutrition, the nutritional value of freeze-drying is very high. Freeze drying refers to the vacuum freeze drying of meat, which completely retains the nutrients of meat. The price of pet food without additives and preservatives is between wet food and pure extruded food.
The specific choice of dog food depends on the economic capacity and the preferences of dogs.
