There is a meaningful difference between humans and dogs in their penury for carbohydrates and in their ability to digest them. The digestive tract of a humane is longer than that of a dog , and the constitution of jaws and teeth is completely dissimilar. A dog's digestion starts in the stomach. Dogs' teeth - all 42 of them - are built to rip flesh apart. Dogs devour their food as hasty as they may , which then reaches the stomach with no digestion having taken office.

Human digestion starts in the mouth. A humane chews food with 32 teeth , which own flat surfaces for grinding and breaking down food. Enzymes contained in the saliva contribute to this breakdown of the food , which is being digested before it reaches the stomach.

Carbohydrates come in two forms , artless and complex. Simple carbohydrates come from grains such as wheat , corn , rice , oats , soy and millet. They sever down into starches and sugar when amply cooked. Complex carbohydrates come in the outline of various fibers such as brans , hulls and peanut shells from the outside of plants. A small amount is needed for suitable digestion and stool constitution. Nutrients are obtained from both sources , but most come from artless carbohydrates.

If carbohydrates are a major part of your dog's diet , the time and power needed for digestion increase , the dog performs less amply , unwieldy amounts of stool are produced , and a protein dearth indisposition may develop. Dogs own evolved as meat eaters and even though they penury galore grains , their health and longevity volition be better served upon a diet containing supplemental animal protein than protein from grains.

Think approximately the origin of the dog. It is unrecorded in history that wolves lit fires and cooked grains picked in fields! But there were whole carcasses available that contained things needed for wolves to survive , including predigested vegetable matter in the intestinal tracts of their prey.

The reason the majority of arid dog foods contain such unwieldy amounts of cereal grains is that grains are a cheap source of nutrients. According to the NRC guidelines , "Carbohydrates provide an saving source of power in the diet of dogs."

Allergic reactions to grains are common in dogs. The best diet for your dog matches that fed in the breed's country of origin as the breed developed. Each dog is an individual , and provided yours refuses to devour his food , check the grains listed upon the package. The dog may genial because of an allergy to one of the grains in the food.
