But did you know that wet food can be just as beneficial to your dog’s well-being and increase their enjoyment of eating?   Wet food is not as commonly used as dry food but it definitely deserves your consideration. Let’s take a look at why:   - Wet food is tastier for dogs because of its intense smell. Dogs ‘eat’ with their noses first and foremost, making this an important factor to include in your decision-making process   - The soft textures are enjoyable on the palate   - The moisture inside makes it look more voluminous, which isn’t only pleasurable for the belly, it’s also pleasurable for the eyes   - It provides extra hydration, ideal for dogs who drink little   At Almo Nature, we advise to provide wet and dry food, ensuring a ratio of 20% wet food and 80% kibble. Simply add a small amount of wet food to their kibble, mixing it into every meal, elevating the feeding experience for you and them.   Do ensure you don’t exceed the daily dose of calories recommended by your vet so in case you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to give them a ring.   Tell us what your dog eats! Dry, wet or both?   Let us know!   PS: by choosing Almo Nature food, you contribute to a range of different animal welfare and environmental projects initiated by [#FondazioneCapellino](https://www.almonature.com/en_GB/fondazione-capellino/?hsLang=en-gb), take a look at their page for more information and give their [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/FondazioneCapellino/) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/fondazione.capellino/?hl=en) pages a follow! #### Related Articles [![Celebrating the Holidays: what to feed and what not to feed your cat or dog](https://blog.almonature.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blog-image_1200x630px-4.png) ](https://blog.almonature.com/en-gb/celebrating-holidays-to-feed-not-to-feed-your-cat-or-dog?hsLang=en-gb) [Lifehacks,](https://blog.almonature.com/en-gb/tag/lifehacks) [Product stories,](https://blog.almonature.com/en-gb/tag/product-stories) [Insights](https://blog.almonature.com/en-gb/tag/insights) January 24,2021 ###### [Celebrating the Holidays: what to feed and what not to feed your cat or dog](https://blog.almonature.com/en-gb/celebrating-holidays-to-feed-not-to-feed-your-cat-or-dog?hsLang=en-gb) The festive period is upon us and as per usual, we’re preparing to celebrate them with lots of good food.
