Mini Sausage Dogs
Nowadays, owners like chubby pets, whether they are cats, dogs or even hamsters and other alternative species. Pets all have this kind of aesthetics. Although pets that are overweight can cause many diseases, pets that lack fat can also become ill. The editor will tell you what effects fat has on dogs.
Fat is one of the important sources of energy required by the body. After each gram of fat is fully oxidized, it can produce 39.3kj of calories, which is higher than carbohydrates and proteins. The fat content in a dog's body is about 10-20% of its body weight. In addition to providing energy, dietary fat also has some other functions, such as being a carrier of fatty vitamins and increasing the deliciousness of the diet.
When fat is added to the body, it gradually breaks down into fatty acids and is absorbed by the body. Most fatty acids can be synthesized in the body, but some fatty acids cannot be synthesized in the body or are not synthesized in sufficient amounts, so they must be supplemented from food, called essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, etc.
When a dog’s diet is lacking, it can cause serious digestive disorders and functional impairment of the core nervous system. There will be symptoms such as fatigue and weakness, rough coat, lack of sexual desire, underdeveloped testicles or the female dog is in extreme estrus. However, excessive fat accumulation in dogs will cause obesity, which will also affect the dog's normal psychological performance, especially for reproductive activities. The daily fat requirement of an immature dog is 1.1 grams per kilogram of body weight. The daily fat requirement of an adult dog is estimated based on the feed material, with 12-14% being appropriate.
In short, the food for dogs must not only be delicious and delicious, but the most important thing is that the nutrition must be balanced. If you only feed your dog according to his favorite food taste, it will develop the bad defect of picky eating in your dog, and it will also have a great effect on his body. If you love it, give it nutritionally balanced food.
