Rich in water / moisture
If an ingredient in a dog's diet says "rich in water", it means that this ingredient has a high water content. Water-rich foods can benefit your dog in various ways.
Firstly, they ensure good hydration. Especially if your dog doesn't drink enough water, water-rich foods can help to cover his fluid requirements. This is particularly important on hot days or after intense physical activity.
On the other hand, water-rich foods can help to control your dog's weight. They usually have fewer calories compared to their volume or weight, which means they can help your dog feel full without taking in too many calories. This is particularly useful for dogs that tend to be overweight or are on a diet.
Examples of water-rich foods include many vegetables, such as cucumbers or squash, and certain fruits, such as watermelon (without seeds and in moderation). It is important to note that not all water-rich foods are suitable for dogs. Some can be harmful to dogs, such as onions or grapes.
