Wet vs. Dry Food

It is suggested to feed your dog mostly dry dog food with a bit of wet dog food mixed into the menu. Eating only wet dog food may affect the bowels. Because a dog can quickly come to love wet dog food, you will not want to feed them only wet even for a day or two; they will put up a big fuss if you try to switch them over.

If you are currently feeding your dog only wet dog food and your dog is having very runny bowel movements, you should plan a slow switch over to dry food. You can begin by providing a mixture of 50% dry and 50% wet. Be sure to mix well, so that the wet food covers the dry nuggets. As time goes on, you can add less and less of the wet, ending up with a balanced diet of 80% dry dog food and 20% wet dog food.
