Afghan Hound (definite introduction)
As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. It seems that the importance of food is also the same for dogs. Many owners often like to feed their dogs the leftovers they have eaten, but this approach is highly discouraged. So why don’t you give leftovers to dogs? Let’s talk about the effects of feeding these items to dogs.
1. The leftovers in the family are not nutritious enough. It is difficult to feed dogs leftovers to meet their nutritional needs.
2. The ratio of carbohydrates and fat in most leftovers is too high, while the ratio of protein, vitamins and minerals is low, which can easily cause obesity, anemia and bone loss in dogs. Diseases such as looseness.
3. Household leftovers are leftovers eaten by people, and the nutritional content changes almost every day. It is not easy to control the nutritional intake of dogs, and it is difficult to artificially supplement them to keep the dogs healthy. The dog reaches nutritional stability.
4. Leftovers often contain too much salt, and dogs have a low demand for salt. The dog’s food should be relatively light. If too much salt is taken in, it will be harmful to the dog. It has adverse effects on the health of the body and is prone to diseases such as addiction to drinking, diarrhea, hair loss and nephritis. In addition, many condiments in human food are harmful to dogs’ health. Spicy condiments such as mustard, pepper, and chili can irritate their gastrointestinal tract and cause loss of appetite.
5. The number of leftovers varies from time to time. If the Shih Tzu dog cannot finish a meal and leaves it for a long time, various bacteria will grow. Even if the leftovers are left out before feeding, Heating leftovers can only kill bacteria at best, but cannot harm the toxins produced by bacteria. Once a dog eats food containing toxins, various diseases may occur.
It can be seen from this that leftovers play a great role in the physical health of dogs, so every owner should control the physical health of dogs, and the most prerequisite is to keep their dogs healthy. If you eat well, you don't have to feed them with leftover meals. Only with stable nutrition can their bodies be strong enough.
