Pros and Cons of Feeding Wet Foods

Why do most people prefer dry food over wet food? The most common reason is that wet food can be more expensive. Owners of several dogs usually feed canned foods as an occasional treat mainly because of the expense. Other valid reasons include:

• not liking the smell of canned food
  
• Above: Hungarian Puli
• not liking the time it takes to open the can
• the hassle of storing any leftover food
• build up of tartar and resulting gum inflammation

It is true the high cost of feeding wet food is definitely a turn off for many dog owners. However, the cost of feeding top-quality food is comparable to the cost of feeding a commercial raw frozen food and even perhaps making your own raw food at home. Many people who prefer the wet food find a way to afford the cost.

It is also true that some dogs can benefit more from eating a wet food diet.

The dental argument is probably not valid. Scientific studies suggest dogs who eat kibble or dry food for the dental benefits sometimes, but not always, end up with less tartar on their teeth.

One reason for this is that most dogs rarely chew dry kibble long enough to actually remove tartar from their teeth. In fact, the reverse may true in that if dogs rarely  chew on the cheek sides of their teeth where tartar is likely to build up the most and crunching dry food can leave pieces of carbohydrates between the dog's teeth where the carbs get broken down into sugars and actually contribute to dental plaque.

I recommend using Life's Abundance long lasting dog chew treats to help with tartar build up even if you use dry kibble. Buffalo Bully Sticks is an excellent dog chew to use for this purpose:

The higher quality wet foods contain fewer carbohydrates (main contributor to accumulation of dental plaque). It is ideal to provide a dog with a long lasting chew that as they chew they scrape their teeth clean.

Another option for people to help keep the teeth clean is the Life's Abundance Gourmet Dental Treats. Feed these regularly along with the dental chews and regular professionals cleanings in addition to brushing your dog's teeth and you should have no problem with gum disease.
