Find products that match your dog’s needs
Did you know? Dogs, especially the picky ones, generally get enticed by wet dog food. Thanks to its taste, texture, and rich meaty aroma, this type of dog food can be more appealing to picky eaters. But, along with being extremely flavourful and palatable, wet dog food offers numerous health benefits. Here are 5 ways wet dog food can make mealtime more nutritious and enjoyable for your pet.
Wet food is packed with protein and makes for a complete and nutritionally balanced meal for dogs. Wet food, like the all-new PEDIGREE® Gravy, comes with chunks of chicken and liver for adults and only chicken for puppies. It is made with high-quality ingredients and retains all the essential nutrients that your dog needs to stay healthy and happy. Dogs need a diet that delivers a good amount of iron on a daily basis. While it may not be possible to feed your pooch half a kilo of spinach every day, PEDIGREE® Gravy ensures it will get all the iron it needs.
A well-balanced meal offers protection against the effects of heat stress. This is due to its high-moisture content. Therefore, feeding wet food to your dog will increase its overall water intake and help maintain hydration levels when temperatures are at an all-time high. This is also beneficial for canines that do not drink enough water on a regular basis. Keeping your dog hydrated ensures optimal kidney function and promotes urinary tract health. While homemade food like rice and curd may contain almost the same amount of water content (50%-80%) as compared to wet food (75%-80%), it lacks the adequate levels of energy, vitamins, minerals, and proteins that your pet requires.
Eating the same food every single day can get extremely boring and canines are known to appreciate variety! Wet food offers variety in terms of flavours, formats and textures. It is a great way to switch it up for your furry friend, especially if you notice that it is rejecting meals it once loved. What’s even better is that you can easily blend wet dog food with dry dog food as well as home-cooked food or simply add it as a topping. Mixing dry and wet food also results in smaller, firmer stools.
Wet food consists of protein as its core with fewer carbohydrates. The high-water content in it automatically leads to a lower calorie density and even helps to promote satiety. Therefore, wet dog food is a great tool to use for weight loss or general weight management. Too much energy in homemade food can cause pets to become overweight and experience loose stools. Feeding your dog wet food or a mix of wet and dry food will help it to avoid absorbing surplus calories whilst ensuring complete nutrition.
Wet food, like the PEDIGREE® Gravy, comes with chunks of chicken and liver for adults and only chicken for puppies that are cooked gently. These chunks are soft and when coupled with the gravy, they become extremely easy for dogs to chew and swallow. Wet food is also ideal for dogs with dental problems as well as senior dogs with gum issues or weakened senses.

If these reasons have convinced you to get your pooch some wet food, make sure you remember to lay a reusable mat below your dog’s food bowl as it can get a little messy! Also, make sure to check with your vet for feeding instructions as well as the packaging for storage instructions.
Wet dog food provides a tasty, nutritionally balanced meal that offers hydration, variety, and easy chewing, especially beneficial for picky eaters, dogs with dental issues, or those needing weight management.
You can start feeding your puppy wet food once you start weaning them off their mother at around 4 weeks of age. At this point you shouldn’t give them solid wet food, but instead mix it with water or milk so that it is easier for them to digest. Continue this till they reach 8 weeks of age at which point you can transition them completely to solid wet food without needing to mix it with water or milk.
Wet dog food should not sit out for more than 4 hours if the ambient temperature is above 10°C. After that, it would be best to throw the food away. This is because wet dog food has high-moisture content, which can lead to bacterial growth. So, always ensure you store wet dog food in a refrigerated space.
