WET FOOD
Wet food: why it has its place in the diet
Nutrition is not only about composition. It is also about how dogs and cats accept their food.
More than just a change in taste
Wet food:
contains more moisture
has a stronger aroma
is naturally more appealing
This influences not only appetite, but also overall food intake.
Hydration that matters
Fluid intake is especially important for cats.
Wet food:
increases overall water intake
supports hydration
contributes to long-term comfort
For dogs, it can play a role, especially during higher activity or in warmer conditions.
Improved food intake
Wet food can help:
with more selective eaters
during periods of reduced appetite
when nutritional demands are increased
Its stronger aroma and softer texture naturally support better food acceptance.
Texture as part of feeding
Different forms allow for individual preferences:
pâté
chunks in gravy
jelly
For cats, texture can determine whether the food is accepted or not.
How to include wet food
Wet food can be used:
as a complete meal
as part of a mixed feeding routine
as a topper for dry food
It helps increase:
palatability
fluid intake
dietary variety
A natural complement to nutrition
Wet food is not a replacement. It is a complementary part of the diet that helps adapt nutrition to current needs.
