🐾 Pets term

Wet food

Canned or pouched pet food with high moisture content, often used alongside kibble or for pets that drink little water.

Why it matters

Wet food adds moisture to a pet’s diet, which can help pets that drink little water in hot weather.

🇸🇬 In Singapore

Wet food can help pets stay hydrated in Singapore’s hot weather. Do not leave it out for long, as it spoils quickly in the heat.

Tips before you buy

  • Refrigerate opened cans or pouches.
  • Discard leftovers that sit out too long.
  • Talk to your vet before changing diets.
