Pet Dogs
Many pet lovers often say to me proudly, Professor Wang, I often feed our dogs chicken liver or rice. She eats happily... Professor Wang, our dog likes to eat chocolate very much, and is very excited every time he eats it... Professor Wang, our dog likes to drink milk... Wait, wait, wait, this It is a common feeding habit of the majority of pet lovers, and it is also a pet feeding misunderstanding that has long existed in domestic practice where pet nutrition knowledge is scarce.
Pets have their own nutritional needs and safe eating habits. However, many families are still in a backward state of feeding their pets leftovers. Even those who are forward-thinking still focus on buying some chicken livers and ducks. Liver, and then prepare some cornmeal, flour, etc. to feed pets. In addition to the actual economic maintenance factors, many of them are ignorance and backwardness about pet food safety and pet nutrition concepts. Because of this, the pets around us are under constant health threats. People often think that what they like to eat is what their pets like to eat, and what they like is what their pets like. It turns out that four-legged ones live more delicately than us two-legged ones. Pet cats are carnivores. Even dogs are omnivores who eat mainly carnivore. Their senses are extremely keen, and their taste buds are basically one-sixth that of humans. Without development at all, this has brought about a great change from us humans. We humans like to chew slowly and savor the food carefully, but pets often use their mandibles to quickly tear up food and then swallow it all, which is not like the normal "taste" process of humans.
Even after nearly a thousand years of training, pets still maintain many primitive animal habits. For example, pet dogs will always eat all the food in front of them because they are worried about the safety of getting the food. Eat it all, and then slowly digest it. Cats maintain the habit of eating alone, and like to receive food in 20 to 30 batches regardless of day or night. Such eating habits determine that there is a big difference between pets and humans in the selection of pet food, which is completely different from human table food.
Perfume is poisonous, chocolate is even more poisonous
The caffeine in the core of chocolate is a poison to pets, which will seriously affect the blood circulation, thereby affecting the circulation of blood.It can cause convulsions, abnormal heart beating, etc. in pets. The main ingredients contained in chocolate are derivatives of methylxanthines. Caffeine and theobromine belong to this category. Therefore, the higher the content of chocolate, the more harmful it is to pets. big. Generally speaking, 200 to 400 grams of chocolate can cause muscle spasms and shock. After taking theobromine and caffeine, the dog's heart rate will surge to more than twice the normal level and die in a short period of time.
Milk is good to drink, but it is difficult for dogs to drink milk
In real life, many pet lovers like to feed their pets some milk, or use milk Make some food for pets to eat, but after eating it, pets often experience inappropriate symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. However, this is not the case every time or for every pet, and owners will think that their pets’ physical condition is impossible. The pet is sick, but this is not the case. This is mainly because pets lack lactase in their digestive tract to understand the lactose and sucrose in milk, and often suffer from lactose incompatibility. If such pets will have diarrhea after drinking milk, If there are symptoms such as abdominal distension, bloating, dehydration, etc., even if there are no adverse reactions mentioned above, sufficient clean water should be provided after drinking milk for pets to drink freely. Unless some pet food companies have specially designed some lactose-free milk products for pets or yoghurt rich in lactic acid bacteria, which can be fed to pets, the milk we usually drink is often not suitable for pets to drink.
It is a misunderstanding that dogs chew bones
Dogs love to chew bones. This is the same law as the sun leaping from the east. We have thought so since we were born. of. However, it is unscientific from the perspective of pet food safety and pet food nutrition to chew bones for dogs.
In addition to being rich in calcium, bones also contain a considerable amount of magnesium. Excessive magnesium will absorb a large amount of water in the intestines of pets, causing constipation in pets. At the same time, too much magnesium will be eliminated in the urine in the form of magnesium ammonium phosphate. However, too much magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals in the urine will seriously block the urinary tract, resulting in bladder urinary tract accumulation. When there is an excessive amount of magnesium, pets may also suffer from coma, diarrhea, reduced food intake, severe anorexia, and even death.
In addition, pets often crack the bones in the process of chewing bones, especially relatively small chicken bones, fish bones, etc., which are easy to produce sharp spines, which can cause Puncture the pet's throat or get stuck in the pet's food canal, causing harm to the pet. Even relatively large beef bones and pig bones can damage your pet's digestive tract, and too many small bone fragments stuck together will hinder the normal peristalsis of your pet's intestines.
Pet, your mother won’t let you go home to eat chicken liver or duck liver
I believe that even today there are still many pet owners who insist on Constantly feeding his pets a large amount of chicken liver and duck every dayLivers, or use these livers to mix in the rest of the food all fed to your pet.
Indeed, animal liver is one of pets’ favorite foods. In the animal world, we often see that when animals get food, they often start eating from their internal organs. This is enough to prove that the internal organs of animals are also the favorite food of pets. However, chicken liver and duck liver contain a large amount of vitamin A. If too much liver food is consumed for a long time, pets will suffer from vitamin A poisoning. Pet dogs commonly suffer from osteoporosis, gingivitis, tooth loss, dry skin or hair loss; cats may suffer from cervical vertebrae degeneration, osteoporosis, etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to feed chicken liver and duck liver appropriately. Even if you feed liver food, it must be cooked and cut into small pieces. It should be used as a seasoning and included in other foods, and it should not be eaten more than twice a week. Three pieces of chicken liver or duck liver a week may cause the disease in pets. Vitamin A poisoning.
Eggs should be cooked before eating
Raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which is a biotin antagonist. It will deplete the vitamin H in the dog's body. Vitamin H is an indispensable nutritional vitamin for the normal growth of pets and the promotion of healthy fur. In addition, the core of raw eggs often contains bacteria, such as Monkella, etc. Feeding raw eggs often causes the formation of vitamin H in pets. H deficiency symptoms include poor growth, dermatitis, or hair loss. In the later stages, listlessness, decreased appetite, and anemia are often seen. Therefore, when it is necessary to feed eggs to pets, they must be cooked before giving them to pets.
There are many foods that pets should avoid, such as vegetables such as onions, ginger, peppers, etc., and seafood such as shrimp, squid, octopus, etc. In short, any food that is difficult to digest, spicy, half-cooked, or has a high fat content should be avoided or fed infrequently. These foods can easily cause health damage to pets.
