Veterinarians have made many statements in favor of dry food. This diet is recommended more often than natural food.

But despite all the work done, there are people who continue to believe myths about pet food.

We will tell you about the most popular misconceptions and the reasons for their occurrence.

Why do people believe in myths?

Even experienced dog owners may believe that dry food is harmful for dogs.

The reason is that these people compare dry food to chips and other human snacks from an unhealthy diet.

In fact, dry food is not a supplement to the main diet, but a worthy and balanced replacement for it.

Myths

1. It is often said that the products contain chemical additives. In fact, the main ingredients are meat, vegetables and grains.
2. There are people who blame dry food for dental problems. In fact, it's the other way around, and hard granules clean dogs' teeth from plaque and tartar.

3. Low moisture content is a fact. But the dog should be provided with access to fresh water in any case, regardless of the type of diet.

4. Not suitable for everyone - and this is already a myth. The variety of feeds allows you to choose a product not only taking into account age, but also in the presence of allergies, diseases, as well as for pregnant and lactating dogs.

5. Diseases. Opponents of dry food say that it causes obesity and kidney stones. But there are no weight problems if the dosage is followed, and kidney problems are caused by a low-quality product.
