As a dedicated dog owner, you’re always on the lookout for the best ways to keep your furry friend happy and healthy. Recently, a growing trend in pet nutrition is the practice of mixing wet and dry dog food as this provides a variety of textures and flavors that can excite even the pickiest of eaters. In this guide, we will focus on how to seamlessly integrate LOONAWELL’s premium wet dog food with your dog’s existing kibble to create the perfect, nutritious meal.
Why Mix Wet and Dry Dog Food?
Before diving into the how-to, let’s briefly discuss why mixing wet and dry dog food is advantageous for your dog:
- Enhanced Hydration: Wet food has a high moisture content, which helps keep your dog hydrated, especially important if your dog doesn’t drink enough water.
- Improved Digestion: The more gentle and respectful cooking method of wet food aids digestion and ensures smoother bowel movements.
- Balanced Nutrition: Mixing allows you to combine the high protein and nutrient-rich qualities of wet food with the convenience of dry kibble.
- Increased Appetite: The varied texture and flavor can make meals more appealing to picky eaters or dogs with decreased appetite.
The Golden Rule for Mixing LOONAWELL
Now, let’s get to the core of the matter: how to correctly mix LOONAWELL wet dog food with your dog’s existing kibble. Follow this simple two-step golden rule to ensure your dog receives a balanced meal.
This ensures that the meal remains balanced in terms of its nutritional content and it is enhanced with the beneficial moisture provided by the wet food.
Understanding the Volume Difference when mixing dry and wet dog food
You might wonder why you remove 25 grams of kibble but add 75 grams of wet food. The reason lies in the healthy moisture content of LOONAWELL’s wet food. This moisture is not only beneficial for hydration but also contributes to the overall volume of the meal without adding excessive calories. Thus, your dog gets a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal that is balanced and delicious.
Tips for a Smooth Transition to Adding Wet Food to Your Dog's Diet
Transitioning to a mixed diet should be done gradually to avoid any digestive upset. Here are some tips to help your dog adjust:
- Start Slow: Begin by mixing a small amount of LOONAWELL wet food with your dog’s kibble and gradually increase the amount over a week or two.
- Consistency is Key: Stick to the same brand for both wet and dry food if possible. Every wet food brand will have different rules for mixing.
- Monitor Health: Keep an eye on your dog’s stool, energy levels, and overall health during the transition period. Adjust the ratio if necessary based on your dog’s response.
