Choosing between wet or dry food for your furry friend can be tough. Wet food is great for providing hydration and can be more flavorful for picky eaters, while dry food helps promote dental health and is often more convenient to store. Whichever you choose, make sure it meets your dog's nutritional needs! Call our vet if you need more help with your pup's nutrition plan. westgateanimalhospital.ca
