It is not always easy to separate the fact from the fiction when it comes to feeding your pets. From whether or not they should ever be given human food through to whether or not dry dog food should be given to them, many different people have completely contradictory views on how to keep any animal healthy.
Of course, there are many reasons for this, and not only will different animals need feeding in different ways, but as new discoveries are made about domestic animals, best practice suggestions will change, leading to much confusion for many.
One of the easiest ways to know for sure what will be the best for your animal is to talk to your vet. However, there will also be many resources online to help you choose the best approach. Not only will there be many online stores who specialise in nutritionally balanced animal feed that will have a whole range of information about how and what to feed your pet, but there will also simply be a greater range of animal feed to help you choose food that is right for your pet.
When it comes to dry dog food, there are many advantages, and any suggestions that only wet food should be used should be ignored. Not only will good quality dry food be cheaper and be able to be left out all day without it going bad, but the crunchiness of dry food is actually also a bonus. Dogs love to crunch and dry food can give them a more satisfying meal in many ways than wet food can.
There is another benefit that dry food has over wet food – consistency. Dogs do not deal well with regular changes in their diet, and it is far easier to keep dry food for longer periods of time than it is to keep wet food, meaning that you know you can always stock up on the brand that is right for them.
Of course, a mixture of dry and wet food will be the best approach, but dry food could be far more important to a diet than many people give it credit for.
