Nutritious Wet & Canned Dog Food

Its no secret that many dogs love the aroma and taste of wet foods. A wide range of wet dog food exists, including natural and grain-free options, as well as those formulated to meet specific health conditions. Not only does wet food help dogs stay well hydrated, it is also generally a more palatable alternative to dry food.

What's In Wet Dog food?

Just like kibble, complete and balanced wet food contains ingredients to meet your dogs' protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin and mineral needs. Wet food will also generally contain a thickeners or gelling agents to bind the food together.

Wet dog food is made by pouring the mixed ingredients into cans or pouches which are then vacuum sealed and sterilised in a heat and steam chamber for bacterial control and stability. This process retains moisture which is not only beneficial for health, but also makes the food extra tasty!

What Are The Benefits of Wet Dog Food?

The main benefit of wet dog food is its high moisture content. Feeding wet food regularly can reduce the risk of common health concerns, such as kidney and urinary disease, diabetes and constipation. Furthermore, because wet dog food is generally more palatable than dry food, fussy eaters, dogs with poor appetites, those recovering from illness or with dental issues may be more inclined to eat wet rather than dry food.

At Pet Circle we offer a wide range of top wet dog food brands like Royal Canin, Black Hawk, Ziwi Peak and Ivory Coat, meeting the needs for different life-stages, health conditions and preferences, such as:

  • Puppy wet foods: to meet the specific nutritional requirements of growing pups
  • Dog food for dry or itchy skin: dog food that may help your dog with their skin allergies
  • Natural dog food: with a focus on the source and quality of individual ingredients, natural foods allow your dog to reap the benefits of the entire nutritional profile for each ingredient
  • Large-breed specific wet dog food: containing additional ingredients for joint support and controlled calories, large breed foods support optimal health and mobility in large breeds

What are the best ways to transition my dog from dry to wet dog food?

Since wet food is generally more palatable than kibble, most dogs will take to it readily. However, a slow transition to new pet food is important to avoid tummy upset.

Can wet dog food be used as the sole source of nutrition for my dog?

Yes, as long as you choose a wet food which is complete and balanced. Check the label for a statement indicating that the food meets the nutritional requirements for your dogs lifestage.

How do I determine the right amount of wet dog food to feed my dog?

When combining dry and wet foods, it's important to adjust the amounts to ensure your dog eats an appropriate number of calories each day. Check out our Pet Feeding Calculator to determine an appropriate amount of each food, or chat with a Pet Circle Vet for more assistance.
