Advantages and disadvantages of dry feeding

Almost all pet owners sometimes think about the possibility of transferring a pet to dry feed. This remains a topical issue for both experienced breeders and those who have just decided to install a four-legged friend. When making a decision, it is important to weigh the pros and cons.

 Despite the fact that the arguments of the proponents of "dry" animal nutrition seem very convincing, there are many opponents to the removal of natural products from the diet of our little brothers. To ensure that your furry friend lives a long and healthy life, it is worth carefully considering the arguments of both.

"For": practical and useful


 Without a doubt, the food must be of high quality and adapted to the breed and lifestyle of your cat or dog. In this case, you can really feel all the benefits of "dry" food. For example, it is not necessary to cook food for a pet. For owners of many furry friends, this can become a real way to save time and money on four-legged food. Also, a balanced composition is important. The food contains all the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It also has a relatively low cost compared to canned food or a combination of natural products necessary for good nutrition.
Experts also say that the likelihood of oral problems in animals is reduced. When using dry food, your pet cleans plaque and stone from the teeth, which could lead to gingivitis, inflammation, bleeding and purulent gums, and tooth loss. This solution also ensures that the cat or dog has constant access to the bowl with food. Natural or canned food cannot be put in a bowl for a long period of time - after a few hours it can go bad. Dry food is free of this danger.

Disadvantages: tasteless and dangerous.


 However, it's no coincidence that spears have been breaking down for several decades in discussions about the benefits and dangers of dry foods. Opponents of "drying" are advised to bear in mind that in addition to the obvious conveniences, it also has significant disadvantages. For example, your pet may not want to eat unappetizing "crackers", which will cause difficulties when trying to change the type of food.

 Veterinarians argue that dry food is less digestible and less than canned and natural food: the net nutrient content is lower. Many varieties of foods are thought to be high in simple carbohydrates that affect glucose and minerals. Hormones, soybeans, pesticides and other chemical additives are often added. Their use can have disastrous consequences for animal health.

 In addition, low-quality meat products are often used for the production of dry feed: parts of cattle and poultry carcasses rejected in factories unfit for human consumption. Thus, meat from sick animals enters animal feed - sometimes even with oncological diseases.

 The choice is not easy to make, however, no matter how you decide to feed your trusty four-legged friend, the key is to carefully monitor the quality of the treats you offer.
