【Expert answer】
Any Q

Due to the range of benefits that wet and dry diets boast, a mixed feeding approach can help your dog get the most out of mealtime. Combining both wet and dry to their diet can give them some variety, where they are exposed to different textures that they will generally be more tempted to try.


Should I feed my puppy both wet and dry food?

Mixing wet and dry dog food or wet and dry cat food is fine as long as both options are of high quality and meet your pet's nutritional and other health needs. Quality wet and dry foods are formulated to provide your pet with all the protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients they need to thrive.

How do you mix wet and dry dog food for puppies?

A good rule of thumb to follow is to mix in a very small amount of the new food on day one and gradually alter the balance of new to old over seven days until you're serving the final balance of mixed food on day seven. There is no need to mix the dry food and the wet food in the one bowl when you feed your dog.

Why should you not mix wet and dry dog food?

Since wet food is more expensive than dry dog food, mixing the two adds an expense to mealtime in comparison with only feeding dry. It also requires refrigeration of the wet food after it is opened if not all of it is used in one meal.

How much wet and dry food should you feed your dog?

You can choose your own ratio of dry to wet food, but we generally recommend two thirds dry kibble to one third wet food.
