Wet Dog Food: Cans and Pouches

An intense aroma, appetising consistency and nutritious composition: Wet food is well received even by fussy dogs and is ideal for day-to-day nutrition. At bitiba, wet dog food is available in several flavours to please every dog.

The best wet food for your dog is the one that ideally meets its dietary requirements and also tastes good. You can recognise high quality by a high meat content, balanced recipe with all vital nutrients as well as the absence of unnecessary fillers and artificial additives. If you've found a wet food that your dog accepts and tolerates well, it's recommended to stick to that variety.

A young dog can receive wet food around four weeks after it is born, although you have to make sure that the dog food is adapted to the needs of puppies. Puppy food generally has a high protein, fat and energy content and contains exactly the right quantity of minerals to support optimal development. It can be helpful to mix the dog food with water at first in order to facilitate the transition for puppies from their mother's milk to solid food.

There is the right wet dog food for all requirements. For dogs prone to food allergies, grain-free hypoallergenic products are recommended, which often only have one animal protein source and generally score points with a short list of ingredients. There is reduced-calorie wet food for overweight dogs, which makes weight control easier. Due to the high moisture content, wet food fills dogs up quickly – an advantage for those prone to weight gain.

Wet dog food is very well suited to stockpiling. However, once a can is open, it should be stored in the fridge and consumed quickly – within one to two days. Wet food shouldn't stay in the bowl for a long time, because it goes off quickly due to the high moisture content, especially in warm temperatures.

Puppies should be fed several times a day. It's recommended to offer several small meals distributed throughout the day. One to two main meals a day are sufficient for adult dogs. The quantity of food depends on age, size and individual requirements. The manufacturer's feeding instructions can offer a guideline.
