What’s the difference between Dry & Canned Diets ?
The major difference between dry and canned foods is moisture content making dry foods considerably cheaper to feed. Dry foods contain around 8-12% water while canned diets contain 70-80% water. So, when feeding canned diets you are essentially feeding water. Because of this your pet must eat 2-3 times more of the canned food to obtain the same nutritional benefit as a dry diet. As a rule of thumb, feeding a canned diet of the same quality as a dry diet of the same brand will cost you approximately 3 times more to feed. Dry foods have two other advantages over canned products. They help keep gums and teeth clean and because they are cooked in extruders at high temperature offer significant improvements in palatability, texture and food quality.
