Is Diamond Naturals dry dog food safe? What can I add to soften it?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 years and 7 months old | 64 lbs

Looking at some of the extra articles I found Pedigree ground canned food has a 1 & 1/2 star rating. I'm feeding Ginger 2 tbsp Canned over 1-2 cups Diamond Naturals dog food. Is the dry food ok, without Pentobarbitol and other contaminants? Suggestions on something wet to soften her food?

Diamond dry food is fine to feed. You can use low sodium chicken broth to soften the food. Apply the broth and just let it sit on the food for about 5-10 minutes before feeding to allow it to expand the food before she eats it. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
