This process is completed in the stomach, where food is liquified by strong hydrochloric acid secreted by the gastric glands to make it easy to assimilate. All these processes are classed as physical digestion, but not actual ABSORPTION- this takes place in the small intestines. The only substance absorbed by the stomach is alcohol.

What is the function of the stomach in the dog's digestive system?
The dog's stomach is where food arrives after the dog has swallowed. In dogs, the stomach is where the first stage of digestion takes place. Digestion is the process by which food is broken down into its simplest components, ready to be absorbed into, and utilised by, the body. The lining of the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, mucous and digestive enzymes, and stores the food during this first stage of the digestive process. A churning action of the strong, muscular stomach walls mixes the stomach contents all together. Finally, when the mixture has reached a thick, milky consistency, (this liquid is called "chyme"), and the initial stage of digestion has been completed, the stomach regulates the flow of the chyme into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine.
