Choosing the Best Puppy Food Formulation
If you are looking for the best natural puppy food, it will help you a lot if you understand the various kinds of puppy food formulations.
There are three basic main categories: 1) dry, 2) wet and 3) semi-moist. Let us delve into these three main kinds of puppy food.
As suggested by the name, dry dog food has significantly low moisture content, roughly well under 15%. On the contrary, wet dog food (canned) contains much more moisture than kibble (with a typical moisture content of 65-75%) and is usually more visually inviting than kibble - to the human eye, anyway.
It may amaze you that how their food looks matter not at all to dogs. What is most important to them is the taste and the smell.
Most dogs find canned food tastiest, next to "people food", that is. Semi-moist dog food is the kind normally packaged in pouches or bags, consists of decent amount of moisture (25-35%) and is all in all well liked by dogs.
When we consider the three types of puppy food formulations (dry, wet and semi-moist), I can say with confidence that both dry puppy food (kibble) and wet puppy food (cans or tins) are fine to feed your puppy. However, I can't say the same about semi-moist puppy food.
True it maybe that semi-moist dog foods are well loved by dogs, they are, unfortunately, loaded with artificial chemicals, dyes and other additives that are necessary ingredients in bringing about that "half-way between dry and wet" texture of semi-moist puppy food. This is the primary reason why you should not feed this type of food to your dog.
Steer clear of the cheapest, highly discounted puppy foods. One thing is certain, the reason why it is priced that way cannot be good. The cheapest deal will never bring you the best natural puppy food.
