The Benefits of Feeding AATU Wet and Dry Dog Food: A Balanced, Tasty Approach

At AATU, we know that your dog’s health and happiness are your top priorities, and we’re just as passionate about crafting premium, nutrient-rich dog food. Whether your dog enjoys the crunch of kibble or the savoury richness of wet food, both play important roles in ensuring they get a complete, balanced diet.

In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of feeding a combination of AATU’s wet and dry dog food and highlight two of our fan-favourite wet food flavours to try alongside your next order of dry food: Tuna & Salmon and Pork & Wild Boar.

Why a Combination of Wet and Dry Dog Food?

1. Balanced Nutrition

Feeding both wet and dry dog food offers a more comprehensive approach to your dog’s dietary needs. Dry kibble, like our nutrient-packed AATU 80/20 range, delivers high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and minerals. Wet food, on the other hand, provides additional hydration and variety in taste and texture, making mealtimes more exciting for your dog.

By mixing wet and dry food, you create a meal that’s nutritionally diverse and satisfying. You’re also ensuring your dog gets the best of both worlds.

2. Improved Hydration

Dogs, like humans, need plenty of water to stay healthy. One of the key advantages of wet food is its high moisture content, which can help keep your dog hydrated, especially if they’re not a fan of drinking from the water bowl. This is particularly beneficial for dogs with certain health conditions, such as urinary tract issues or kidney problems, as wet food can naturally boost their water intake.

3. Enhanced Palatability

Adding AATU wet food to your dog’s diet can enhance the palatability of their meals. Some dogs can be picky eaters, and mixing in wet food provides a strong, enticing aroma and flavor, which can encourage even the fussiest of eaters to clean their bowls. This variety keeps your dog interested in their meals and can prevent them from growing bored of a single type of food.

4. Easier Digestion

For dogs with sensitive stomachs or dental issues, wet food can be easier to chew and digest. Its softer texture and high moisture content make it gentler on the digestive system. Combining it with dry food creates a well-rounded meal that caters to dogs with a range of dietary needs.

5. Customisable Feeding Options

Mixing wet and dry food gives you flexibility when it comes to portion control and meal customisation. You can adjust the ratio of wet to dry food based on your dog’s individual preferences, caloric needs, and any specific health concerns.

Wet Food Flavours You Need to Try: Tuna & Salmon and Pork & Wild Boar

To add a delicious twist to your dog's daily diet, we recommend incorporating AATU wet food when you next order their favorite dry kibble. Here are two flavours your dog is sure to love:

1. Tuna & Salmon

If your dog is a fan of fish, our Tuna & Salmon wet dog food is a must-try. Bursting with the rich flavors of sustainably sourced fish, this recipe is packed with high-quality omega-3 fatty acids, which are fantastic for your dog's skin, coat, and joint health. Omega-3s are also known to support brain function and cardiovascular health, making this an excellent choice for adult and senior dogs.

The combination of tuna and salmon offers a unique flavour profile, perfect for picky eaters or dogs that crave a more exotic taste. Plus, this wet food is free from artificial additives and fillers, so you can feel confident that your dog is getting pure, nutritious ingredients in every bite.

2. Pork & Wild Boar

For dogs with a taste for meat, our Pork & Wild Boar wet food is an absolute treat. This recipe is brimming with rich, gamey flavours, offering a satisfying meal for dogs that prefer heartier, more robust tastes. Both pork and wild boar are excellent sources of protein and essential amino acids, which help support muscle growth and repair, while also being easy on digestion.

Pork is particularly beneficial for dogs that need a novel protein source to avoid common allergies, and wild boar adds a natural, wild-caught element that satisfies your dog’s carnivorous cravings. Like all AATU products, this wet food contains no grains, gluten, or artificial ingredients, ensuring only the best for your dog.

How to Integrate Wet and Dry Food into Your Dog’s Diet

If you're new to combining wet and dry food, here are a few tips to get started:

  • Mix gradually: Introduce wet food in small amounts, gradually increasing the portion as your dog adjusts.
  • Monitor portion sizes: Since wet food can be calorie-dense, make sure to adjust the amount of dry food accordingly to maintain a balanced diet.
  • Experiment with textures: You can try mixing wet food into dry kibble or serving them side by side to see what your dog prefers.

At AATU, we believe in providing the best for your pet, and that means offering a wide range of nutrient-dense, flavor-packed foods that cater to their unique dietary needs. By feeding a combination of our premium wet and dry foods, you’ll provide your dog with a well-rounded diet that supports their overall health and well-being.
