During the process of raising dogs, we often hear the suggestion to feed dogs canned dog food as little as possible. Actually, canned dog food is very popular with many dogs, but why should it be given less? Here the editor will explain it to you in detail.

Dogs

　　Firstly, canned food and similar snacks often contain certain additives, so long-term consumption is definitely not beneficial for dogs’ health. And in terms of taste, snacks taste better than dog food because canned food contains more seasonings. If a dog has always been eating canned food before, then it will be comparatively difficult to switch back to dry dog food. Eating too much canned food easily causes picky eating problems. Therefore, it is only recommended to feed occasionally, not long-term.

　　Of course, it’s not that canned dog food is entirely useless. This type of food can still play a certain role in daily life. For example, if a dog is sick and not very interested in dry food, we can appropriately add some canned food to improve the taste of the dog food. Also, canned dog food can be used as a reward when training dogs. Giving timely rewards when dogs perform well can increase their enthusiasm for training.

　　Overall, if canned dog food is only used as a treat, then as long as it’s not too poor in quality, it can be given to dogs occasionally. But if it is treated as the main food, this practice is not recommended. This can easily lead to developmental problems in dogs, especially puppies. The quality of the dog’s coat also cannot be well guaranteed.
