Liquid

When the term "liquid" is used in relation to an ingredient in dog food, it refers to the water content or consistency of that ingredient. Liquid ingredients in dog food can come from a variety of sources, such as water, broths, oils or juices, which are added either to improve moisture, promote palatability or provide certain nutrients. Hydration is crucial for dogs as it not only helps to maintain hydration, but also aids digestion and helps to efficiently transport nutrients and remove waste from the body. Wet food that contains a higher proportion of fluid can be particularly beneficial for dogs that are prone to dehydration or that require a higher fluid intake for health reasons.
