Meaning of Moisture Content

Meaning of Moisture Content

Moisture content refers to the amount of water naturally present within a food. Raw and fresh diets generally contain substantially higher moisture levels than kibble or dehydrated foods. Moisture influences digestion, texture, nutrient concentration, and overall food structure. 

Foods with higher natural water content often interact differently within the digestive tract than highly concentrated dry diets.

Moisture also affects how nutrients appear on labels because percentages become diluted or concentrated depending on water levels. In raw feeding, hydration from food itself is considered an important part of overall feeding balance.
