Why does it look watery and/or mushy?Updated 6 months ago

Wet dog food naturally contains more moisture than dry food, which is beneficial for your pet's hydration. This higher water content ensures the food is softer and easier to digest, making it particularly helpful for active dogs, senior dogs, or pets with specific health needs. Rest assured, the texture and moisture levels are carefully designed to support your dog's overall health and well-being.

Texture can sometimes vary due to the natural moisture content of fresh whole food ingredients or the freezing and thawing process. This softness is normal and ensures the food stays fresh and easy for pets to eat. For example, rice-based recipes may absorb water differently, resulting in a softer consistency, and vegetables and proteins are gently cooked to preserve nutrients, which can sometimes give a blended texture. The freezing and thawing process, which ensures freshness and safety, may also slightly affect the texture.
