Benefits Of Dry Dog Food
Dry dog food, or kibble, offers several benefits that make it a popular choice among pet owners. Here are some of the key advantages:
-
Convenience: Dry dog food is easy to store and has a long shelf life. It doesn't require refrigeration, making it highly convenient for everyday feeding and ideal for travel.
-
Cost-Effectiveness: Dry dog food is generally more economical than wet food. It comes in larger bags and offers more servings per pound, providing good value for money.
-
Dental Health: Dry dog food's hard texture helps maintain dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup. Chewing kibble can stimulate gums and clean teeth, potentially reducing the risk of dental issues.
-
Nutritional Balance: High-quality dry dog foods are formulated to be nutritionally complete and balanced for daily feeding. They provide all the essential nutrients in the right proportions that a dog needs to stay healthy.
-
Ease of Measurement: Dry dog food makes it easy to measure precise amounts of food portions, which can help maintain a consistent and balanced diet. This is particularly beneficial for weight management.

Dry Dog Food FAQs
Is dry dog food nutritionally complete for my pet?
Yes, high-quality dry dog food is formulated to be nutritionally complete and balanced. Look for options with a high protein content, healthy fats, essential vitamins, and minerals. If your dog has specific health concerns, choosing a formula with added benefits, like Omega-3 fatty acids for joint health or antioxidants for immunity, can be especially beneficial.
How much dry food should I feed my dog?
Feeding amounts vary based on your dog's age, weight, activity level, and the specific formula. To check how much we recommend feeding your doggo visit our serving guide.
How should I store dry dog food to keep it fresh?
Dry dog food should be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. Storing it in the original bag inside an airtight container can also help preserve the nutrients, as many bags are designed to protect against moisture and light.
Is Kibble good for my dogs teeth?
It depends on the kibble. While some kibbles can help scrape away plaque, not all are designed for optimal dental health. Petzyo, however, is a great option for managing your dog's oral health, as it features therapeutic levels of Ascophyllum nodosum (kelp), a natural ingredient known to reduce plaque buildup and improve gum health. This, along with Petzyo’s high-quality ingredients, makes it an excellent choice for supporting your dog’s dental hygiene as part of a balanced diet.
What is the best dry dog food?
The best dry dog food depends on your dog’s individual needs, but high-quality options generally feature meat as the primary ingredient, healthy fats like Omega-3 for skin and joint health, and no artificial additives.
How Long Does Dry Dog Food Stay Fresh After Opening?
Once opened, dry dog food generally stays fresh for up to six weeks if stored properly in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. To preserve freshness, keep the food in its original bag within a container, as the bag is designed to lock in nutrients. Always check for any change in smell or texture before feeding.
Is Grain-Free Dry Dog Food Better for My Dog?
Grain-free dog food can be beneficial for dogs with grain allergies or sensitivities, but it's not necessarily better for all dogs. Many grain-free kibbles use alternative carbohydrates like sweet potatoes or peas, which are easier for some dogs to digest. Read More
What is Dry Dog Food?
Dry dog food is a type of dog food that is processed and dried into small, hard bits. It’s commonly known as kibble and contains a mixture of ingredients like meat, grains, vegetables, and sometimes fruits, along with added vitamins and minerals, to ensure a balanced diet for dogs. These ingredients are ground up, mixed, extruded, or baked under high heat to create hard, crunchy pellets. This process removes moisture from the food, allowing it a long shelf life and making it easy to store. Dry dog food is popular among pet owners due to its variety of textures, flavours, and kibble sizes, catering to the individual preferences of different dogs. Additionally, it's easier to store and serve and has a longer shelf life than wet dog food.
Will Petzyo adjust my dog’s Kibble That Count serving as they grow?
Yup. As your puppy grows into their paws, we’ll remind you of their growing need for more dog food. How do we know just how much food should wind up in your dog's dish? Our veterinary nutritionist has helped us calibrate our serving size calculator based on your dog’s activity level, size (and breed if known), and age.
Can I mix Petzyo’s raw dog food with Kibble That Counts?
Pawsitively! While our Kibble That Counts is Australia’s highest quality kibble, many dogs enjoy the meaty richness of our Raw Royalty mixed in. To ensure your doggo is receiving the right balance for their nutritional needs, you can simply divide your dog’s suggested serving by the ratio of raw to kibble that you want your dog to have.
Should you mix Dry and Wet Dog Food?
Mixing dry and wet dog food can be beneficial as it combines the advantages of both. This mix can enhance the flavour of the meal, increase moisture intake, and can be particularly appealing to picky eaters or older dogs with dental issues or reduced sense of smell.

Is it okay to feed a dog only Dry Food?
Yes, it's okay to feed a dog only dry food as long as it is high-quality pet food and meets all nutritional requirements appropriate for your dog’s age, size, and health condition. Dry dog food, known as kibble, is specifically formulated to provide a balanced diet, including essential proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, kibble can benefit a dog’s dental health by helping reduce plaque and tartar buildup. When choosing a dry food for your dog, ensure it adheres to standards set by regulatory bodies like PFIAA and AAFCO, such as the Petzyo brand.
Since dry food contains little moisture, always ensure your dog has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. Moreover, consider any specific health issues or dietary needs your dog might have that could require different food or supplements. Some dogs may also prefer a combination of dry and wet food, which can offer dietary variety and ease of digestion.
Why do vets recommend Kibble?
Vets often recommend kibble because it's specifically formulated to meet all nutritional standards, helps in maintaining dental health by reducing tartar and plaque buildup, and is easy to measure for consistent and balanced feeding.
