Browse by Format
Dry Food
Dry kibble is the most common and convenient format. It is extruded under high heat and pressure, which destroys some natural nutrients that are then added back as synthetic supplements. Look for named meats high on the ingredient list and a short supplement block.
Wet Food
Wet food is gently cooked and packed in moisture, often 70 to 85 percent water. On a dry matter basis it is usually richer in protein and fat than kibble, and the extra water supports hydration. Never judge wet food by its as-fed percentages alone.
