Canned foods are often overlooked as a diet option for ferrets. But in general, a good canned food is much healthier than kibble. There are canned food options that are completely or almost grain- and starch-free. Canned foods also have a much higher meat concentration usually.

Another benefit of canned foods is that they provide moisture, which is essential for dental health and hydration.
