Give your dogs’ diet a yummy, healthy boost with Pedigree Wet Food.
Created with pet nutrition experts and veterinarians from the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, Pedigree Wet Food is a great option for owners aiming to give their dogs the vet-recommended mixture of wet and dry food.
Healthy tastes boring – says who?
Dogs easily become bored of eating the same thing daily and some owners deal with their dogs who are finicky eaters. When this happens, pet owners might want to consider experimenting with a new flavor.
According to Dr. Saza Curaming, Scientific Communications Manager of Mars Pet Nutrition for Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, “Wet food does not only contain 70 to 80 percent more vitamins and minerals that your pet requires, it is also high in protein, providing a complete and nutritionally balanced meal. More interestingly, its consistency is very appealing to most dogs.”
It offers 38 essential nutrients to strengthen your dog’s immune system and keep them happy and healthy. It comes in cans and pouches and numbers of flavors to select from such as beef, chicken, and liver that are absolutely delicious for our paw friends.
“For puppies, Pedigree offers Nutri Defense that gives them DHA and fiber to support their immune system.” She adds that, “It is also an excellent meal for puppies since it helps to strengthen their teeth and ensures the pet parents that their dogs will get adequate nutrition as they grow.”
Including it in your dog’s meal gives them varied tastes and textures, making mealtimes even more enjoyable for your fluffy pets. For mixed feeding, dog owners might add it as a topper on the dry food. Dr. Saza says, “It is a terrific way to mix things up for your pet, especially if you notice it’s rejecting meals it used to enjoy.”
Maintains hydration level
Another key benefit of wet food is that it hydrates dogs that do not drink enough water on a daily basis. By providing it, your dog will improve and maintain hydration levels without having to worry about it being dehydrated, especially in hotter seasons.
As it helps improve proper kidney function and contains proteins in their original state, Dr. Saza says, “Since it is high in moisture content, it helps dogs maintain a healthy urinary system. To ensure a well hydrated dog, it is still necessary to always provide clean and fresh water every day.”
Aids weight loss
Wet food’s main component is protein, which has fewer carbs. As a result, it has lower calorie density and even helps to promote satisfaction for dogs. “Incorporating it to your dog’s meals will prevent excess calories from being absorbed while still providing sufficient nourishment,” explains Dr. Saza.
“Some pet parents feed their dogs with homemade food and that can lead pets to gain weight and have loose stools,” she adds. “But with feeding wet food or a mix of wet and dry to your dog, it can produce smaller and firmer stools.”
Dental-disease friendly
In addition, since it is composed of chunks that are soft, it is a good choice for dogs with dental disorders, gum problems or reduced senses. Depending on the comfort levels, the amount of wet food to mix with dry food can be varied.
Dr. Saza highlights that “Pet owners may easily combine wet dog food with dry dog food and home-cooked food, or simply use it as a topping.”
