dog food

Answer 2

Though they are members of the Carnivore Order, dogs are not obligate carnivores like cats. They do eat meat, but they also eat vegetable and grain matter in small amounts. In the wild, wolves hunt in packs to kill prey. The entire animal is eaten, including the contents of the digestive tract, which is their primary source for vegetable matter.

Domesticated dogs, descended from wolves are no longer truly pack hunters. Feral dogs are more likely to be scavengers, occupying dumps and subsisting off the refuse of humans.

Domesticated dogs still living in homes are generally fed a commercial dog food that contains meat, perhaps a little grain and vegetable sources. Most sources of nutrition come from meat and are balanced to meet all of the dog's dietary needs. Some are fed table scraps left from human meals. And some are fed home cooked meals designed especially for dogs or raw meals consisting primarily of meat.

Other contributors have said:

• Dogs eat many things. Some dogs eat grass to help their stomach feel better. Most dogs love meat, it's also healthy for them. Dogs usually eat any thing they can, even chocolate, so don't let them, or they will die.

• Dogs eat rabbits, meat and much more. Dogs also eat dog food.

• You should mostly feed your dog food that is designed for its species, unless your vet tells you differently (ie. special food for a health problem). Treats make them happy, but they shouldn't have too many.

• Be prepared for your vet to tell you that your dog is allergic to meaty proteins. They can get a chemically modified dog food just right for them. However, it is more common for a dog to have Allergies to corn and other cereals.

A dog diet may include raw or cooked meat, organ meats, vegetables, grains and fruits. There are pros and cons to feeding raw, cooked, or processed food. It is best to research different types of food and talk to a professional before deciding what diet is best for your dog.

Dogs should not consume: raw onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or chocolate or anything containing caffeine, alcohol or root vegetables. These can be toxic to their bodies. Some houseplants can be poisonous if eaten by dogs, too.

Dogs are descended from meat-eating wolves, therefore meat should be included as a main ingredient in the most preferable diet for dogs. Dogs (wolves) are basically carnivorous in nature (at least biologically). Grains, fruit (e.g., blueberries and apples, but not citrus) and cereals should also be included in their diet in moderation. Vegetables are important for other nutrients and fiber and are included in most premium commercial dog foods, carrots are an excellent choice as a healthy treat, in bite sized pieces. Avoid sweets, salty items and overly fat foods. Too much fat in their diets can cause health problems and obesity just like in humans. It can also cause diarrhea if too much. A small amount of fat is needed to keep their skin and coats healthy, however.

Table scraps are usually too fat, too salty and not nutritious enough and bad for their teeth. Brittle cooked bones, especially small bones like from chicken, can splinter and be dangerous and even puncture bowels, do not give those to your dog. Therefore, avoid these strict no-no's if you want your dog to be healthy.

Giving your dog a quarter of a cup of canned pumpkin (like you use for pies, although not the kind with sugar, etc. already in it...just plain pumpkin) mixed in their food every day is very good for them nutritionally, helps their coats be healthy, and provides fiber that helps diarrhea or constipation. They love it, too.
