Can Akitas eat wet food?

Akitas can be picky eaters sometimes. While it may be tempting to give them tasty wet food every meal, it is not the most budget-friendly. Instead, you should cook homemade dog food for your pooch. Some white meat and vegetables will do best! Visit the vet regularly. Prevention is always better than cure.
