Canned Dog Food
Canned food makes a welcome change to your four-legged friend's diet. Equally, it can completely replace dry kibble. With such a wide range of brands and flavours on offer, you'll easily find a canned dog food whose composition suits your pet's individual needs.
Wondering how to choose canned dog food and why you'd feed it to your dog at all?

Why feed your dog canned food?
Let's start by weighing up the pros and cons of canned dog food. The main benefit lies in its high moisture content. Dogs not only love the taste, but it also helps them stay properly hydrated. Thanks to its texture, it's also suitable for older dogs who may already have trouble with their teeth.
You can feed canned food on its own instead of dry kibble. However, this option is more expensive, and dogs tend to eat far more wet food than dry by weight. You also need to pay closer attention to freshness and watch that the food doesn't spoil in the bowl. For these reasons, most owners choose canned food as an occasional treat alongside dry dog food.
A guide to choosing canned dog food
So what should you look for when choosing canned dog food? Three factors matter most.
1.) Your dog's age
Canned food for puppies is formulated to support their healthy growth and development, and tends to be more digestible. Canned food for senior dogs takes into account that older pets are prone to weight gain and burn less energy. Canned food for adult dogs can then vary depending on things like the dog's size or usual activity level.
2.) Quality composition
Choosing the right food should also involve studying the ingredients list — not the most exciting task, but an essential one. Meat should, of course, outweigh plant-based ingredients, while preservatives, artificial colourings and flavourings have no place in the recipe. Also avoid food containing by-products (a term that usually hides things like skin or feathers). The more detailed the ingredients list, the better — the type of meat, cereals and fat source should all be clearly specified.
3.) Flavour
Flavour doesn't just determine how much your furry friend licks their lips — it can also matter for various health issues or allergies. For allergy-prone dogs, so-called single-protein cans made from just one type of meat are a good choice, while for older dogs it's best to choose leaner varieties.
