Good to know
- Leave fresh water down at all times. Dogs on an all-dry diet get almost all their fluid from the bowl.
- Treats and chews count towards the daily total. Keep them under 10% of calories and reduce meals to match.
- Every few weeks, feel your dog’s ribs and look for a waist from above, then adjust portions in small steps.
Common questions
Is dry or wet food better for dogs?
Neither is better in itself: both can be complete and balanced. Dry food is cheaper per day, keeps longer once opened and is easy to use in puzzle toys. Wet food contains much more moisture and tends to appeal more to fussy or older dogs. Many owners feed a mix, reducing each portion so the total stays right.
How long does an opened bag of dry dog food last?
Once opened, kibble slowly loses freshness as the fats react with air. Keep the bag rolled tightly in an airtight container, away from heat and damp, and follow any guidance on the pack. If the food smells stale or rancid, or your dog suddenly loses interest, replace it.
