Wet Dog Food
Wet Dog Food
At Petworld we know Irish dogs love great-tasting meals, and wet food delivers just that. Wet dog food is a real palate-pleaser for canines: it’s soft, moist and packed with tasty meaty ingredients, making even picky pups excited to eat. The high moisture helps hydrate your dog and “put less strain on major organs” like the kidneys. Softer wet food is also easy to chew, ideal for growing puppies with tender gums and for older dogs (a strong aroma can entice senior dogs to eat). It’s especially helpful if your pet has trouble with dry kibble or needs encouragement during illness.
Our Wet Dog Food category covers all life stages and dietary needs. We stock grain-free wet diets (e.g. Nature’s Menu, Burns) that eliminate common grains (wheat, corn, soy), excellent for dogs with allergies or sensitivities. Puppy formulas are rich in protein, calcium and balanced nutrients for healthy bone and coat development. Senior recipes are gentle and highly palatable to support aging joints and digestion. For dogs with sensitivities, we offer hypoallergenic wet foods with limited ingredients and novel proteins (like duck or venison) to minimize reactions. We even have breed-specific pouches and trays (such as Royal Canin breed lines) tailored to your dog’s size and needs.
Top brands on Petworld include Nature’s Menu, Royal Canin, Forthglade, Hill’s Science Plan, and more, all trusted for quality. Ordering is easy and local: Petworld is 100% Irish-owned, we offer free delivery on orders over €30, and most orders ship within 1–2 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is wet dog food better than dry?
Both have benefits. Wet food is tastier and helps keep dogs hydrated, which can ease strain on kidneys. It also entices picky eaters. Dry food, however, is convenient, helps keep teeth clean, and is calorie-dense for busy dogs. Many owners use mixed feeding (some wet, some dry) to combine advantages. Choose high-quality formulas in either type and consult your vet for your pet’s needs.
What wet dog food is best for puppies?
Puppies need gentle, highly digestible nutrition. Wet puppy foods are soft and often higher in protein, calcium and fat to support growth. Brands like Royal Canin Puppy, Nature’s Menu Puppy and similar options are formulated for growing dogs. Always follow the feeding guide on the pack, and transition slowly from puppy to adult formulas as directed.
Grain-free vs. regular wet food, which should I pick?
Grain-free wet foods replace grains (wheat, corn, soy) with other carbs (like sweet potato) or extra meat. This can benefit dogs with grain allergies or digestive issues. If your dog has no allergies, regular wet food is fine. Look at ingredient lists: wet foods labeled “grain-free” or “hypoallergenic” often suit sensitive dogs. Always choose a complete vet-recommended diet.
How do I choose the right wet dog food?
Consider your dog’s age, size, and health. Puppies, adults, and seniors have different nutritional needs. If your dog has allergies or a sensitive stomach, look for limited-ingredient or grain-free options. Check that wet food is labeled a complete and balanced diet for dogs. Popular Irish choices include nature-inspired brands (Nature’s Menu, Forthglade) and veterinary brands (Royal Canin, Hill’s). When in doubt, ask our Pet Care team for guidance—we’re Irish pet experts!
How much wet food should I feed my dog?
Feeding amounts vary by age, weight, and activity level. Wet food is less calorie-dense than dry, so you’ll serve a larger volume. Most cans or pouches include feeding guides—use those as a starting point. As a rule, small breeds need less and large active dogs need more. Monitor your dog’s body condition and adjust. If you’re mixing wet and dry food, split the daily recommended total between them. Always keep fresh water available, since wet food adds moisture but hydration is still key.
How should I store wet dog food?
Once opened, cover any leftovers (with a lid or foil) and refrigerate immediately. Use refrigerated wet food within 3–5 days to stay fresh. Clean your dog’s bowl between feedings. If feeding multiple meals from one can, scoop out only the portion needed and seal the rest. Proper storage keeps wet food tasty and safe for your pup.
