Is kibble good enough for dogs?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

It is entirely acceptable to feed your dog a pure kibble diet. Or you can mix their diet up with some cooked or raw meat, fish, vegetables and rice. Many owners like to feed a raw meat diet to their dogs, and while this can suit some dogs very well, there are some important considerations you need to be aware of.


Is kibble better than can dog food?

In many ways, canned dog food can be superior to kibble. They typically contain more meat protein than their dry counterparts. And they're made with fewer carbohydrates, too. Plus, due to their air-tight packaging, canned dog foods contain no synthetic preservatives.

Why you shouldn't feed your dog kibble?

In dry pet food, there's a risk for bacteria and mycotoxins to be present. Also, storage mites can multiply rapidly in dry food. Pets can develop a hypersensitivity to storage mites, resulting in itchy inflamed skin, hair loss and ear infections.

Is dry kibble better for dogs?

Dental health benefits: Dry food encourages dogs to chew their food, which aids in preventing tartar buildup and secondary periodontal disease. Convenience: Compared to wet food, dry diets are much easier to pre-portion, and they won't spoil if left out all day. This can be beneficial for dogs that are grazers.
