Keep your furry friends healthy with expert nutrition
In the recent times, world over, we have noticed humanization of pets. The emotional bond, the sense of indispensability, the love and affection for them have made our new age pet parents zealous to research and learn everything about their furry friends.
One of the many questions that run at the back of every pet parent’s mind is – What’s the right diet for our pet? And why do pet food even exist when we have home cooked meals at our quick disposal?
Well, the answer is, as human parents when we are curating food for another species, we are bound to go wrong unless supervised by experts, or guided by research. Many of us won’t know that dogs metabolize food seven times faster than humans, or that a dog needs four times the protein, five times Vitamin D, twelve times calcium, and two and half times the Vitamin-A than that a regular human adult. It’s not possible for a pet parent to get this delicate balance of complete nutrition right. Hence, it’s imperative that they choose a food option which nourishes their pets correctly.
Nutrition for optimum health
Let’s try to understand a dog’s biology at a macro level for some basic knowhow. Very prominent and distinct research which have studied a dog’s physiology states that the gut is more in compliance with the genetics of an omnivore than a carnivore. This means that dogs are biologically evolved to eat both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian diets. Even the digestive enzymes which are present in dog’s stomach, can process all carbohydrates. Considering these factors, veterinarians and researchers of this field state that dogs should follow an omnivorous diet for an optimum health. Consult your vet to know the best diet for your pet based on their age, activity level, and overall health.
Stop believing in myths – dogs aren’t wolves!
Contrary to a myth that has been made popular, dogs are not wolves and they mustn’t be on any wolf diet. It’s true that “dog” as a species started with the evolution of wolves and subsequent domestication of their progenies over millenniums has led to the furry friends we know of today. But then that’s just the first line of breeds – the Shepherds. There are many breeds from the line of mastiffs. So, if wolves were the first line of ancestors, then there must be another line which started the mastiff and magnolias, because many of today’s popular breeds are through a mastiff genome rather than a wolf genome.
Some popular breeds from the mastiff genome are Shih tzu, Chow Chow, Boxer, Bull dog, Saint Bernard, Rottweiler, and the hounds. The breeds from the wolf genome are – Huskies, Labradors, the Retrievers, and Dalmatians.
