PEDIGREE® Wet Dog Food

Add delicious variety into your dog’s mealtime with PEDIGREE® Wet Dog Food; delivering hydration and irresistible taste for puppies, adults, and senior dogs alike.

Wet and Canned Dog Food Explained

Wet and canned dog food are the same category of food, just packaged differently. Traditionally, wet food came in tin cans, which is where the "canned food" name stuck around. Today, most wet dog food in India (including PEDIGREE®'s) comes in gravy pouches instead, which are lighter, easier to store, and simpler to portion out for a single meal.

Regardless of whether it comes in a pouch or a can, wet food typically boasts a moisture content between 65% and 80%. This high-water percentage offers several remarkable benefits for your dog’s overall health and well-being:

  • Enhanced Hydration: Dogs aren’t always proactive about drinking enough water from their bowls. Feeding wet food is a simple, effective way to boost their daily fluid intake, supporting healthy kidney and urinary tract function.
  • Unbeatable Palatability: The intense aroma and natural meaty juices in wet food are irresistible to dogs. It is often the ultimate solution for fussy eaters, recovering pets, or older dogs with a reduced sense of smell.
  • Easy to Chew and Digest: The soft texture makes it easy to chew, which makes it ideal for young puppies losing their baby teeth or senior dogs dealing with dental sensitivity.

You don't have to choose between wet and dry food, either. Most pet parents use wet food as a topper and spoon it over regular kibble to make mealtime more appealing. Many also feed it as a standalone meal, particularly for dogs who need extra hydration or have a smaller appetite.

Wet Dog Food – Puppy vs Adult

Wet food for puppies vs adults differ because each life stage has its own nutritional needs. Puppy food supports growth and development, while adult food helps maintain body condition and daily energy levels.
