Both wet and dry food provide the dog with sufficient energy and nutrients for a healthy, balanced life.
- Wet food is much more aromatic and is therefore often better accepted by dogs, but spoils quickly, especially when opened, and can be unhygienic to handle.
- Dry food On the other hand, it is very practical for the dog owner. Even small croquettes have a high nutritional value, the food has a very long shelf life and can be easily stored. However, dry food increases the animal's fluid requirements and it often takes a while for the dog and its digestion to get used to the food.
Ultimately, it is often not a question of which food is better, but rather which diet is practical for the owner and tolerable for the dog.
