Dry dog food covers off biscuits, kibble, and pellets, whereas wet food tends to be tinned or in a pouch and comes in a gravy or jelly sauce. Raw dog food is predominantly meat, and often comes frozen.
Dry dog food is great for ensuring complete nutrition in one meal - less water means a high concentration of nutritionally rich ingredients. It’s easier to store, lasts longer, and is less expensive than the other options.
Wet food is more appealing for most dogs thanks to its meaty chunks and gravy. Its high water content is great for older dogs, who need more hydration. It’s less suitable for puppies, who need more nutrients in their foods.

Petcare’s been rich with investment of late. In April, Nestlé spent an undisclosed sum to buy buoyant Lily’s Kitchen. In September Forthglade was sold for £50m. That was followed in October by Spectrum Brands putting up £140m for Armitage Pet Care, while dry dogfood specialist Skinner’s grabbed a majority stake in wet dogfood producer Naturediet.
Amid the flurry of M&A activity, Aardvark Petcare smashed its launch fundraising target, Edgard & Cooper secured over £16.5m, and Denzel’s netted a six-figure cash injection, following a £20m investment in DTC petfood brand Butternut Box back in February.
