I think a mixture of hard and soft food is a good way to go (and I really don't mean kibble and canned, I mean soft food and then something like raw vegetables).
As for canned, the ingredients may be good and it is less processed than kibble but grain free canned is very high in fat quite often. It just is not healthy in my opinion. So I don't really like either of them. If you could find a canned grain free food that is lower in fat, that would seem fair. Or provide plenty of water with the kibble and get ready for potty breaks.  All dogs are different though. |
If the dog is drinking excessive water, there may be other problems such as diabetes. I do not believe a healthy dog will "over drink" just because his food is dry. He'll drink the water he needs. I know you don't like dry kibble, but I think it's misleading when you say this.
