Dog food should be soaked in warm water. Generally speaking, if you soak the young dog food at room temperature, it will be fine within 15-20 minutes; if you soak it in warm water around 30-40 degrees, it will be fine in 10-15 minutes. You can no longer use water above 40 degrees, because hot water will destroy some nutrients in dog food.
And it should be noted that after soaking the dog food through tap water, try to make the dog eat it at one time, and there is no need to soak it for a long time. If it is stored for a long time, it will be very easy to grow some microorganisms, which is harmful to the dog's health.
In addition, soaking in boiling water will not only cause the nutrients in dog food to be lost, but too high temperature will continue to hurt the dog. And dog food soaked in hot water will be softer and will be easier to grow harmful substances. Therefore, soft dog food should be soaked in warm water and fed to the dog.
