FAQs about Calibra Wet Dog Food
Wet dog food can be a great addition to your dog’s diet, whether you’re considering it as a complete meal or as an additive for dry dog food. We’ve answered some common questions to help you understand the benefits and considerations of feeding your pup wet dog food.
Do dogs need wet food?
No, dogs don’t need wet food, many dogs thrive on purely a dry food diet. However, some dogs such as puppies and senior dogs see more benefits to eating softer food as opposed to dry food. Fussy eaters and dogs with health conditions may also be more likely to eat wet food as it’s more sensory and moist, which makes it more appealing and appetising compared to dry.
Is wet dog food bad for dogs’ teeth?
Not necessarily. Wet food isn’t bad for your dog’s teeth, but it doesn’t clean them the way that dry kibble might. Dry food has a crunchy texture that can help reduce plaque build-up, while wet food is softer and can stick to teeth more easily. To maintain dental health, consider brushing your dog’s teeth regularly and using dental chews or toys. We have a selection of dental accessories and treats such as our dental toothbrush and toothpaste and our dental brush treats.
Is wet dog food more fattening than dry?
Wet food can be more calorie-dense per serving because it often contains more fat and protein, but it also includes a higher moisture content which can help your dog feel full. Whether it’s ‘fattening’ depends on portion size and your dog’s overall diet. Always check the feeding guidelines and adjust based on your dog’s size, age, and activity level. At Calibra, we offer a range of weight management dog food, containing less calories so that you don’t have to change portion size.
Can puppies eat wet dog food?
Yes! Puppies can eat wet dog food, and it’s often easier for them to chew and digest. Just make sure it’s a complete and balanced formula made for puppies to meet their growth needs. Wet puppy food can also be a great transition from milk to solids during weaning. Our range of puppy food includes tasty wet foods specially tailored for growing pups.
Can I heat up wet dog food?
You most certainly can heat up wet dog food BUT do so carefully. Slightly warming wet food can enhance the aroma and make it more appetising, especially for picky eaters. Just make sure it’s not hot and always stir thoroughly to avoid hot spots. Never microwave it in the can, transfer it to a microwave safe dish first.
Can I mix wet and dry dog food?
Absolutely! Mixing wet and dry food is a great way to combine the benefits of both, added moisture, taste, and crunch. Just make sure the combines portion meets your dog’s daily nutritional needs.
How should I store wet dog food?
Unopened cans or trays should be stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused food should be covered and kept in the fridge, our Calibra Can Lids are perfect for sealing opened wet food cans to keep your dog’s food fresh. Use within 2-3 days and serve at room temperature, if possible, to make it more palatable for your dog.
Is wet dog food more expensive than dry food?
Typically, yes. Wet food can be more expensive per serving than dry food due to its higher meat content and packaging. However, many dogs find it more appealing, and it can be especially helpful for picky eaters or those with specific dietary needs.
Can wet food improve my dog’s hydration?
Yes! One of the biggest benefits of wet food is its high moisture content, which helps keep your dog hydrated. This is particularly useful for dogs who don’t drink much water or need extra support during hot weather or health issues.
How do I transition my dog to wet food?
Transition gradually over 5-7 days to avoid digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of wet food with their regular food, then slowly increase the wet portion while decreasing the dry. Monitor for any changes in digestion or appetite and always follow portion guidelines.
