WHY WET FOOD?
Has a higher moisture content, which can help with hydration and urinary tract problems. Wet food also has the same amount of protein as dry food, but fewer carbs which helps with weight maintenance. Wet dog food tends to create a longer-lasting feeling of being “full.”  

WHY DRY FOOD?
Dry food supports dental health as it encourages dogs to chew their food, which aids in preventing tartar buildup and secondary periodontal disease. Dry food is also more energy dense and easier to store and feed. Kibble is easier to integrate into food puzzles and slow feeders. 

LFD Kennel Recommends:
Mixing wet and dry dog food is the option that provides the best of both worlds.
