Dog Food - The 3 Types Of Dog Food Sold In Stores
There
are 3 types of commercially prepared dog foods that are available in
the market today: Canned foods, Semi-moist foods, and Dry foods.
Canned Foods
This type of food comes in several varieties which ranges in quality as
well as price. They consist of about 75% water and is mixed with
assorted meat, fish, and cereal products. They are easy to prepare and
dogs love them! However, canned foods produce low-energy nutrients,
which means that you would need to give your dog a big serving in order
to provide him with the required energy he needs.
If you have a large dog, you would have to double the amount of
servings, which makes canned food a bit unpractical and on the pricey
side. To solve this problem, consider mixing canned foods with
dried food. The mixture will provide more energy for your dog and
will also add volume to the food, thereby saving you money.
There is another kind of canned food that only contains meat, hence
called “all meat canned foods”. Similar to regular canned food,
all meat canned food does not provide your dog with the proper amount
of energy that his body needs. In order to get enough energy, you would
need to give him large quantities of the food, although this will only
produce an unbalanced diet. Therefore, all meat canned foods should
also be mixed in with dried foods or even semi-moist food.
Semi-Moist Foods
This type of food has high concentration and only contains 15 to 30%
water content, which provides more energy for your dog in less amount
of volume than canned foods. Their ingredients consist of meat,
cereals, vegetables, sugar, and fats. They are easy for your dog
to digest and he will surely love the taste. They come in a wide
variety, do not need to be refrigerated, and many owners find them to
be the most convenient way to feed their dogs.
Semi-moist foods are expensive and is loaded with sugar and corn syrup
and therefore, should not be given to dogs with diabetes. In addition,
these foods are also loaded with colorings and artificial
flavors. It is best to give your dog this type of food only on an
occasional basis rather than his main source of diet.
Dry Foods
Dry foods contain about 10% water, providing high energy value to your
dog. They are the least expensive of all the dog foods, they can be
stored in bulk quantities, and they do not need to be refrigerated.
This is why most pet owners prefer this to have a food for their dog
and considerate it to be the most economical way to feed their pets.
On the other hand, the majority of commercially prepared dried foods
contain mostly cereal and is very limited in the amount of protein that
the dog requires. Consider mixing dry food with canned foods to give
your dog a well-balanced diet. Another alternative is to choose a
brand that contain meat as its main ingredient.
