Switching to a dry food diet

With the current pet food recall, veterinarians are recommending to put your pet on a dry food regiment to be safe. As it turns out, a dry food diet is typically thought of as better for your pet for the following reasons:

• Wet food and dry food have virtually the same nutrition levels, depending on brand and kind.
  
• Dry food generally costs less per serving
• Dry food stays fresh when left in a bowl all day
• Dry food requires less space to store.
• Dry food is typically better for your pets' dental hygiene, however, can hurt older animals when they chew.
  
• Dry food is better for your animal's digestive system.

If you are switching over to dry food, some things to look out for:

• If you are buying organic, be positive that it is 100% organic. If it's anything less, you can't be sure where it came from.
• The term "natural" is not necessarily safe, as the term is not regulated by the FDA.
