Benefits of wet food

  • • Higher moisture content - Helps with hydration
  • • More palatable - Great for picky eaters
  • • Easier to chew - Good for seniors or dental issues
  • • Often higher in protein - Less filler ingredients

Things to consider

  • • Shorter shelf life - Refrigerate after opening
  • • Dental care - May not clean teeth like dry food
  • • Storage - Requires more space
  • • Mixing option - Can be used as a topper for dry food

Comparing wet vs. dry food

When comparing wet and dry dog food nutrition, look at the dry matter basis (DMB) values rather than "as-fed" percentages. Wet food has 70-80% moisture, so guaranteed analysis values appear lower. Our comparison tool shows DMB values for accurate comparisons.
