Dry Debate
Author : Damian Higgens
The old debates: wet versus dry, hard versus soft regarding dog food and treats has adamant partisans on each side. The kibble and dry biscuit fans argue that dry food is easier to deal with (including less stinky), more economical and better for teeth. Wet food fans, those who prefer canned or the individual gourmet dog food packs, seem to hang most of their argument on the basis of appeal—it’s what my dog likes, it looks like real food, etc. So is there a definitively better choice?
There’s no arguing with how easy dry dog food is to store and serve. You’ve got a bag (sometimes a really big bag), and all you need is a scoop, and off you go. Just as some people are perfectly happy eating corn flakes every day, some dogs are fine with the same kibble out of that big bag each meal. But for other dogs, having lots of variety is a big deal. True, if a dog gets nothing else, she may give in and just eat what’s there, but is that really what you want her eating experiences to be?
What about the stinkiness issue? Aside from an occasional scent of dustiness, the smell of dry dog food is generally relatively innocuous. But is innocuous going to tempt a picky eater? Is it going to make meal times enjoyable? For some dogs, this truly isn’t an issue. The happy gobblers will scarf down anything put before them, and so for them your task as an owner is just to make sure what they eat is healthy, and you can find gourmet dog food in various dry kibbles. But many dogs are pickier eaters—and not just because they’re stubborn or spoiled. Some dogs may have sensitive teeth or digestive tracts, and older dogs sometimes lose their former interest in meals. For these dogs, moist gourmet dog food, which tends to smell appealingly close to human food, may awaken the dog’s appetite (without making the server feel queasy).
When it comes to the issue of whether a moist or dry dog snack is best for your pet, it again comes down to a combination of what’s healthy and what appeals to the individual dog (and his or her human). Harder biscuits do have a bit more effect on tooth plaque, but only above the gum surface, and, in fact, all food that is chewed helps with this. Whether your choice is a dry biscuit or a soft and chewy gourmet dog treat, choose treats big enough to call for actual chewing.
So what’s the final word? Well, actually there isn’t one. And the debate continues…
