When moistening dry dog food, there are some potential risks to look out for:
Bacterial growth: If water is left in the kibble for an extended period, it can create a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. To avoid this, serve moist kibble immediately and do not leave it sitting out for hours.
Softening teeth: Some believe that softening kibble could reduce the teeth-cleaning benefits of dry food. However, there's not enough conclusive evidence to support this idea. In fact, dental health primarily depends on providing proper care like regular tooth brushing.
