Wet pet food costs significantly more per pound than dry alternatives, with wet dog food averaging 97% more expensive and wet cat food 122% more expensive. This premium reflects both the product format and smaller packaging sizes, though wet food's higher moisture content means consumers get fewer calories per pound compared to dry kibble.
