Dry dog food: Why we "love" it
Dry food is very convenient for use. When you open it, it stays fresh for days until it spoils. You can fill your dog's bowl and it will be enough for the day or even days.
It is also great because of its' role in dog training. Dog treats are used as an award while learning your dog tricks, and this rewarding method is very effective.
There are also some drawbacks to using dry food. The biggest one is the lack of moisture in this kind of food. If you live in a warmer or hot climate, you should consider wet food.
