Animal feed developed in production is considered healthy and balanced.
At the same time, pet owners often have questions about which is better to choose - dry or canned? It turns out that each has its own drawbacks.
Veterinarian Lyubov Korocheva told Sputnik in an interview what food to choose for your pet.
Dry or canned
According to the expert, dry food is the best in terms of content and balance of nutrients, as well as macro- and microelement levels.
Korocheva believes that canned food is not a complete food, but a trend inspired by advertising and marketing.
According to the expert, canned food is not a complete diet, but rather a flavor enhancer.
However, dry food also has its disadvantages.
First of all, it is dehydrating and contains more salt.
Wet food does not have such a strong dehydrating effect, but it also contains salt and preservatives, and in the wrong proportions.
Therefore, this is all nonsense told by sellers of dry and wet food, emphasized Lyubov Korocheva.
The expert advised everyone who is worried about the well-being of their pets to stick to a natural diet, which specialists can help create.
Typically, the diet includes a range of products such as meat, cereals, vegetables, and vitamins.
Without the necessary knowledge, the owner of a cat or dog will hardly be able to create a complete diet, so you should consult a veterinarian.
