Is Caesar wet dog food healthy to mix with high-quality kibble?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 185 lbs

Hello , my name is Ashlyn and I have a question . What are your thoughts on Caesar wet dog food? I try telling my mom it's not good for the dog because it contains Soy, Corn, By-Products, etc ... but she doesn't believe me. We have our dogs on Pure Vita & every now and then Orijen which are good foods ... but it makes no sense mixing high quality food with Caesar ..

Hi Ashlyn, Thanks for posting. Caesar is not the greatest quality dog food in the world I have to admit. You are correct. Caesars does not contain a lot of whole ingredients and is very processed. The wet food is also not the best for the teeth. Pure Vita or Orijen would be much better options, yes. And I agree, it doesn't make any sense to mix in a top shelf food like Orijen with a low quality food like Caesar. It would be like having a filet mignon alongside a McDonalds hamburger. I hope this helps! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

    Hi Ashlyn and thanks for using PetCoach! I have to agree with you regarding mixing very high-quality dry foods and then mixing in a lower quality wet food. I understand pet foods are quite costly especially the high-quality ones but I think you raise a good point with your question. I worry a lot about my own food quality and that makes me worry even more about the true quality of pet foods which are sold. I would advise that you discuss this with your mom. Ultimately it boils down to what is affordable for her budget and what Artemis likes to eat. It may be wise to investigate some home cooking of the wet food and supplement the dry food with that. Check out the following website https://secure.balanceit.com/ if you are considering home cooked wet food. Otherwise, I would recommend researching the best rated wet foods on the market by using various websites on your search engine. Good luck
