Does a puppy need wet and dry food?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Young puppies usually find it easier to chew and swallow wet food, so it's good for fussy eaters. Why not mix the two? Mixing dry and wet food is popular because it combines the benefits: helping to maintain healthy teeth and good urinary tract health.


Is it better for puppies to have wet or dry food?

Wet food is a great choice for young puppies. Those who have only just developed their teeth and transitioned to solid foods can find it difficult to chew and swallow, so dry food can be a challenge. Because of its meaty texture and fragrant smell, this form of food can also appeal to fussy eaters.

Do puppies need to eat wet food?

Feeding adult food will rob your puppy of important nutrients. Four feedings a day are usually adequate to meet nutritional demands. Large breeds should be fed unmoistened dry food by 9 or 10 weeks; small dogs by 12 or 13 weeks.
