How much wet food should you feed your dog?
The amount of wet food to feed your dog depends on their size, age, and activity level. Always refer to the feeding guidelines on the packaging and consult your veterinarian for personalised advice.
What wet dog food do vets recommend?
Vets typically recommend a wet dog food that is complete and balanced for your dog’s life stage and any specific needs. Purina wet dog food is formulated to provide essential nutrients in the right balance, with on-pack feeding guidelines for recommended portioning. If your dog has a health condition or special dietary requirements, your vet can advise which wet food recipe is the best fit.
Can you mix dry and wet dog food?
Yes, you can mix dry and wet dog food. Combining them can provide balanced nutrition and enhance the meal's palatability. Follow the feeding guidelines for both types and consult your veterinarian.
Can you freeze wet dog food?
Yes, you can freeze wet dog food. Portion it into meal-sized servings, place in airtight containers, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator before feeding to maintain quality and safety.
Can you make treats from wet dog food?
Yes, you can make treats from wet dog food. Spread it thinly on a baking sheet and bake at a low temperature until it becomes firm. Cut into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.

How do I transition my dog from dry food to wet food?
Transition your dog gradually to help minimise stomach upset. Check the feeding guidelines on the Purina wet dog food pack, then replace about one quarter of your dog’s dry food with wet food. Every second day, increase the wet food by another quarter until the changeover is complete, which is usually around seven days. If your dog is prone to stomach upset, extend the transition more slowly over about ten days.
Is wet dog food good for hydration?
Yes. Purina wet dog food has a high moisture content, so it contributes dietary water and can help support hydration, especially for dogs that do not drink much on their own.
Is feeding only wet dog food bad for dental health?
Feeding your dog a wet food-only diet does not necessarily cause oral problems, but dry kibble can help to reduce plaque and tartar build up. For that reason, many dogs do well with a combination of wet and dry food to get the moisture benefits of wet food alongside the dental benefits of dry kibble. If your dog has oral issues, such as missing teeth or difficulty chewing, wet food may be a better option.
How should I store wet dog food?
To help maintain freshness, store unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from moisture, sun, and heat. Once opened, keep the wet dog food can or pouch as airtight as possible and store it in the fridge, then use it within 24 to 48 hours. Always check the use-by date on the packaging and do not feed food that is out of date.
