Dry and wet dog food can both form part of a good feeding routine. The better choice depends on your dog, your budget, how you store food and what your dog is actually willing to eat without staring at you like you have personally betrayed them.
Shop dry dog food or shop wet dog food.
What is the main difference?
Dry food contains much less moisture and is usually sold as kibble in bags. Wet food contains more water and commonly comes in tins, trays or pouches.
Why choose dry dog food?
Dry food is easy to store, simple to portion and convenient for everyday feeding. TotalDoggo stocks dry foods across puppy, adult, senior, small, medium and large breed ranges.
Why choose wet dog food?
Wet food has a softer texture and higher moisture content. Some dogs find it more appealing, and it can be useful for dogs that prefer softer meals.
Can dogs eat both dry and wet food?
Many owners use a combination. If you mix foods, the total daily amount still matters. Follow the feeding guidance on the products and avoid accidentally doubling the calories because both portions looked a bit lonely on their own.
How do I change my dog's food?
Diet changes are usually introduced gradually rather than switching everything in one meal. Follow the manufacturer's guidance and speak with your vet if your dog has a medical condition, allergies, ongoing digestive problems or a prescribed diet.
What should I look for on the label?
Check the life stage, feeding directions, ingredient list, pack size and whether the food is intended as a complete diet or a complementary food. Choose a product appropriate for your dog's age, size and needs.
