Dry Dog Food

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
