The food of dogs

      While the traditional categories of dogs are predators, but that does not mean that only meat dog food. Are not like other cats such as the real predators, dogs can rely on these foods such as vegetables and grains and healthy live, in fact, that their recipes are very balanced. The typical diet of wild carnivores such captured herbivores from their stomach contents, so they are often nutritional imbalance. But the dogs have to deal with well, they can be vegetarian, especially in these foods with eggs or [[milk] (puppies should not drink milk, dog's stomach weak and unable to absorb and digest milk)] especially when paired (not strictly vegetarian, or milk and eggs hormone). On the other hand, dog meat more than human endurance, they will not eat lots of meat, such as blocked arteries, like suffering from metabolic diseases. In addition, the scientists found, as in Alaska, such as those in love Ditaluode (Iditarod) carried out in dog sledding and other similar games to withstand extreme pressures and high-protein foods (eat lots of meat) can help them prevent the damaged muscle tissue .

Dog to varying degrees are common human beings, other animals and even a dog eating his own feces as a phenomenon, and even some domesticated in good health, food supply, there is also full of dogs that act. This is a fact, though this may lead to many pet dog owners unhappy. Even in Chinese there is "dog not change Chishi" This kind of goes. The reasons for this phenomenon has not been completely clear; a study suggests that the domestication of the dog in the last years the process of association with mankind and the acquisition of this habit, which is a shortage of food during the early stage of human society have to accept the dog faeces as an important food one of the sources; also the view that this is a dog in the food shortage, malnutrition, parasitic diseases or suffering from pathological cases, the performance.

The type of foods dogs can accept less than humans, such as their chocolate theobromine metabolism much slower pace than humans, a large number of intake of chocolate can cause theobromine poisoning; while some human medicines commonly used in the dog is also a poison. So do not let the dog have access to medicines for human use, and some people use a basic knowledge of food is kept.
