Dry food has definite benefits over canned food:

• Dry food is more convenient to serve.
  
• Dry food is easy to store.
  
• Dry food has less odor.
  
• Dry food is more hygienic and less likely to spoil once placed in the pet's bowl.
  
• Dry food is less expensive.
  
• Dry food exercises the mouth and can reduce the buildup of tartar.

If your pet has certain medical conditions in which we need to increase the water intake, such as kidney disease or a bladder infection, feeding canned food may be more beneficial since it has a higher water content. Ask your veterinarian.
