Your Pets Health: Eating Healthy And Good Digestion

28 10:50:42
The digestive systems of dogs and cats are similar in many ways. 1) Their digestive systems are acidic, 2) they do not have long intestines and 3) they are made to digest one type of protein at a time, not multiple types like man-made foods. Their digestive systems are made to eat raw meats, which are full of B-vitamins that are very important to good health.

It is reported that pet foods have more food additives and artificial ingredients than processed foods do for humans. Due to the poor quality of the ingredients in pet foods, it's the only way to make the foods desirable for the pet,

Vegetables are a vital part of a dog's diet and no, they don't hunt for vegetables. The animals they killed provided the predigested vegetables needed. Give your dog a carrot and you would see it again during elimination because he does not have the intestinal make-up to eat and digest them on his own. Carnivores will first search their prey's stomach when they make a kill and sometimes will leave the rest.

Dogs are notorious for eating non-stop as long as the food is in front of them. They do not chew like cats; they swallow whole. If your dog has a habit of eating disgusting things such as vomit, poop, dead carcasses, or rotten garbage, chances are they are looking for the missing nutrients that they are not getting from there food. A good diet should eliminate these habits. If you start feeding home-made foods, let them regulate themselves as they do in the wild. They will get on their own schedule, not on one that is imposed upon them.

Dogs and cats are not natural grazers, by nature they eat until they are satisfied and then they rest, digest and eliminate before the next feeding.just like they do in the wild. I have seem wild animal shows where lions with big full bellies can walk right next to Antelope, zebra and wildebeest without even looking at them. They only kill when they need too. This goes for wild dogs also.

A properly balanced diet fed to your dog or cat means they will not need to drink as much water. A well- balanced diet will provide the required moisture content their bodies need. Remember, always feed your pet as you would feed yourself. A well-balanced organic diet is best.

Your pets will decide what they like and don't like. They will let you know because some like meat more than vegetables. If your pets are unsure about their new diet, add small amounts of the home-made food a little at a time. In time you will have converted them over. Just remember not to feed them onions, chocolate, and fish!
