Should puppies eat wet or dry dog food?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

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.


Is wet or dry food better for puppies?

Generally speaking, wet food is better for dogs than dry food. Wet food has fewer carbohydrates, which are difficult for dogs to digest, and more water, which keeps dogs hydrated.

Should I feed my 8 week old puppy dry or wet food?

Once your puppy has been weaned off of their mother's milk (around 8 weeks), you can start feeding them soft foods like canned or dehydrated dog foods (if you aren't sure what that is, read our complete guide here ). You won't want to start feeding your pup any hard foods until they are at least 9-10 weeks old.
