The common types of dog food on the market can be mainly divided into two categories. One is dry puffed dog food, which is what we often call dry food; the other is wet dog food canned.
1. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of dry and wet food:
1. The advantages of dry puffed dog food are: 1. Easy to digest and well absorbed; 2. The nutritional content is the most balanced; 3. The advantages of long shelf life, convenient carrying, affordable prices, etc. are highly favored by many dog owners. However, the disadvantages of dry food are: the taste is relatively simple, and various preservatives, antioxidants and other ingredients are added during the production process. After high temperature puffing, some nutrients are lost, and dogs have poor palatability. Generally used as a staple food for dogs.
2. Canned wet dog food is mainly composed of meat, starch, fruits and vegetables and cereal raw materials. This type of dog food can be eaten and opened immediately, and its taste is much better than dry puffed dog food, with a good taste and a much higher digestibility than the former. The disadvantage is: the production ingredients are relatively high, so the price is higher than the former. For adult dogs with a larger appetite, it is difficult to meet the dog's eating needs by feeding them with this type of dog food alone. Generally used as auxiliary food.
2. Key points for choosing dog food:
When choosing dog food for dogs for the first time, you can first select two to three small packages of dog food. Wait for the dog to try it for a while and carefully observe the dog's reaction to different brands of dog food. For example, you can pay attention to whether the palatability of dog food is better, how much digestible the dog has, and the color and status of the dog's excrement.
3. Pay attention to the correct storage method of dog food:
In addition, pay attention to the correct storage method of different types of dog food. Generally speaking, it takes a long time to finish after the dog food is opened, so the preservation of dog food is very critical.
For canned food, it should be kept in the refrigerator; while for dry food, it should be kept well sealed to avoid contamination or moisture from the food, which will destroy its nutritional value and taste.
