Dry food is better for a dog's teeth. If you want to feed canned food then she may need more dental maintenance but nutritionally there is nothing wrong with it. Aldo, dry food is a lot less expensive than canned food - I don't know if that is a concern for you or not but I thought I would mention it. I hope this answers your question. If you need more assistance please feel free to post again!
