Since the short video has occupied the time of many friends, all kinds of trends to dazzle and attract people’s attention have filled the whole society, and it is inevitable to enter our pet dog. Among them, the most eye-catching must be pet food, which is also a big gold market. However, many up owners actually don’t have any pet raising experience and knowledge. They just want to attract attention and advertising expenses, resulting in many wrong feeding methods filling the mobile phone screen. If forming bad habits is just trouble, diseases caused by unscientific diet are harmful to pets.
I often hear pet owners say during treatment, why is it different from what I saw in the little red book? Why does my cat have kidney failure after eating this? Why does my dog have cirrhosis? To learn real knowledge, it is better to read books or consult a doctor. I remember in the news on Friday, a nutrition enterprise applied for listing. In the announcement, the enterprise had only two R & D personnel. If this is ridiculous, I tell my friends that some pet food enterprises do not even have a professional R & D personnel for dog food and cat food. They are OEM enterprises that put different brands on different packaging, and no one cares about the health of pets.
The most common indiscriminate eating and promotion is raw meat. Many people think that cats and dogs eat meat in the wild primitive environment, so they think that eating raw meat and bones is better and more nutritious than eating food compressed with various grains and vegetables. But I don’t know that it has brought many diseases to pets. The main ones are unbalanced nutrition, indigestion, bone blockage of the stomach and bacterial infection of gastroenteritis.
One case I encountered before was a large Labrador dog. The pet owner ate meat and ribs every day. The result was that a small sparerib almost killed the dog. Because the bone was too small, the dog was anxious to eat and swallowed it directly. Then the next day, the dog had abdominal pain, did not eat, vomited and had no stool. Go to the hospital for X-ray photos. The small ribs are stuck at the corner of the intestine. The local hospital requires surgery to take them out. Finally, after analysis, we try to lubricate them with enema. During this period, intestinal rupture may cause death at any time. Later, it took five days. Under the careful care of the pet owner, the dog finally succeeded in pulling out the bone.
Here I want to make it clear that it is difficult for dogs to get nutrition when they eat bones. In the past, there was no meat and other food for dogs, so only bones that people can’t chew are thrown to them. That doesn’t mean bones are good for them.
What’s more terrible than bone blockage is the bacteria in these raw bones and meat. Raw bone and meat is not a new pet food. It appeared in Britain in 1920. However, it is difficult to promote health because of unbalanced nutrition and difficult to maintain hygiene. In France this year, researchers sampled 55 dog food samples, of which all raw dog food samples have “Enterococcus”, and one quarter of them are drug-resistant superbacteria. Some drug-resistant bacteria are exactly the same as those detected in hospital patients in Britain, Germany and the Netherlands, indicating that raw dog food may lead to urinary tract infection of dogs and pet owners, Skin infection, sepsis, meningitis. The quality of raw meat in our country is not higher than that in Europe, and there are a lot of bacteria in the raw meat of dogs. Gastroenteritis in dogs basically accounts for a quarter of our daily diseases, which are caused by eating unclean food.
Last month, I met a dog owner who gave the dog raw meat. As a result, the dog had bacterial infectious enteritis and diarrhea for 5 days. Finally, I couldn’t help coming to the hospital for treatment. After 3 days of treatment, I gradually recovered; After just recovering, he continued to eat raw meat and infected enteritis again in less than a week. Although he was treated immediately this time without diarrhea for too long, the dog has changed from acute enteritis to chronic enteritis. Chronic enteritis can not recover completely. If you eat a little uncomfortable later, even if it is a previously acceptable food, you will have diarrhea immediately. The pet owner then regretted it, but there was no way to remove the root cause of the disease.
Finally, some pet owners believe that cats are pure carnivores. In fact, there is no carnivore in the animal classification. Cats mainly eat meat, but they don’t eat plants. We all know that cats eat cat grass to help digestion. Tigers and lions give priority to eating animal viscera when hunting in the wild, There will be a large number of undigested plants in the intestines of prey, which will also be eaten by tigers and lions as a supplement to plant food. This shows that it is not that cats don’t eat plants, but they eat very covertly.
Moreover, the detailed research of scientific research institutions helps us distinguish between pet owners when taking care of pets and when purchasing pet food products. You need to think carefully with your mind. Is your choice backward or modern. Many people are pursuing primitive and backward eating habits. I don’t know if it’s reasonable for someone to tell pet owners that your most reasonable diet is to pick some leaves, fruits, grass or eat raw meat every day? After all, our ancestors ape man ate like this. Of course, this also leads to their low IQ.
