Whether the food is wet or dry, it provides the same nutrients. As long as the food is high quality it will not make a difference. However, dry food does a much better job at keeping a dogs teeth clean so it is recommended by most veterinarians. But wet food makes a wonderful treat.

It may depend on the dog. Larger breeds who are prone to bloat may benefit from being fed wet food, or water added to the dry food. This also adds some moisture to the dog's diet. Many brands of dry food often have a higher content of grain, such as corn or rice, which some dogs have trouble in digesting. Such ingredients are used as they are cheaper than meat, and they also help hold the kibble pieces together. Wet food usually does not need "binding" like this, so its often easier to find wet food without the high percentage of "fillers". It depends on the individual dog, and what suits it best.
Also, the notion that dry food cleans a dog's teeth has not yet been proven. Kibble is hard and brittle, so it shatters at the tips of the teeth - providing little or no cleaning friction for the most part. Some believe that crumbs from dry food stick between a dog's teeth, which can negatively impact the dog's dental health.
