Comparing Dog Foods
  
Types of Dog Foods
The three main types of dog foods are dry, soft-moist and canned products. These vary in a number of characteristics including moisture, cost, palatability and amount of nutrition delivered per pound or ounce of food. Evaluating a dog food diet should include consideration of all these factors. In spite of these variations, with today's advanced technology, all types of dog food products can be formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition for dogs.
Canned Diets
These diets offer the highest palatability when compared to the dry and soft-moist products. Once a can is opened, unused food should be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for no longer than three days.
Dry Diets
Dry products consist of crunchy kibbles, which help reduce the build-up of plaque and tartar on a dog's teeth. Dry foods also have the advantage of staying fresh longer than soft-moist and canned products once the package is opened.
Soft-Moist Diets
Soft-moist dog foods generally offer higher palatability compared to dry diets. Soft moist dog foods are convenient to serve and store easily.
Targeted Nutrition
These foods are specially formulated and proportioned to meet the special nutritional needs of certain dogs.

Diets designed specifically for puppies usually contain higher levels of the nutrients puppies need during their period of rapid growth and development. Other dog foods are formulated to have higher levels of protein and calories to provide extra energy for puppies, working and hunting dogs. Other dog foods are formulated to be lower in calories and fat to help less active and older dogs maintain normal body weight.
