Default LP and type of food after surgery question

Hello all!
I am so glad I came across this group. My cane corso, Lily, had the
tie back surgery for laryngeal paralysis about a year and a half ago.
The surgery went very well and she is doing great, thank goodness! My
question for others with experience or knowledge of this procedure is
does the dog have to eat canned food for the rest of her life? The
specialist who performed the operation told me canned food, but other
vets have said she can go back to dry food by now. In my other
searches, I have also found both answers! Lily actually prefers dry
food and she is only 5 now, so I worry about her teeth with canned
food for many years to come. Plus, at 120 lbs, it costs a LOT to feed
her canned food! Any input on your experiences would be very
helpful. Thanks so much!
Sloan

I feed my dog dry food along with a little canned food.
Maybe you could feed your dog half canned food and half dry food.
