Can dogs eat sweet food?
Sweets are delicious and dogs also like to eat them, but eating sweets is not good for dogs There are hundreds of disadvantages and no advantage.
I saw such an example on a pet forum a few days ago: a dog owner wore his freckles dog The dog visited another friend's house, and his friend gave the dog a special treat of more than 20 candies. The dog owner didn't pay much attention at that time, but from the second day onwards, Freckles' appetite began to decrease, and he also suffered from mild diarrhea and vomiting. I thought it was a cold, so I took some anti-inflammatory drugs, but the condition never got better and became more and more serious. Immediately, he started to have bloody stools and became depressed. When he went to the hospital, he had scabs and pale gums, and it was obvious that he had suffered serious blood loss. Finally, the dog's skin lost elasticity, he was depressed, and he was severely dehydrated, and he almost did not recover.
This situation was caused by the friend's "Jiaxin" candy. Remember: dogs can’t eat too much candy! Because the dog’s digestive system cannot penetrate and digest disaccharides (such as sucrose, etc.), it cannot digest and absorb sucrose. Once a dog eats a large amount of sucrose or fructose, a hypertonic state will occur in the digestive tract, causing a large amount of body fluids. It is added to the intestinal cavity to induce diarrhea.
At the same time, except for candies, other sweets should be avoided for dogs. Giving your dog sweets from time to time has the following disadvantages:
1. First of all, the sugar and fat ratio in sweets are high. Even if the dog does not eat much, it can increase the energy intake of the dog. Unbalanced ratio with other nutritional factors;
2. The energy intake of dogs is high and cannot be consumed and transferred Fat accumulates in the dog's body, causing dog obesity;
3. Tender sweets are not suitable for training Dog teeth and sweet food crumbs are good breeding grounds for bacteria, which can more easily promote the growth of bacteria and lead to dental plaque, dental caries and other dental diseases in dogs;
4. Dogs who often eat sweets are prone to gastrointestinal and oral diseases.
In addition, eating ice cream and other sweets that are too cold or too rich can also cause vomiting or diarrhea in dogs. Stimulates enteritis. For the above reasons, we usually don’t give dogs sweets from time to time.
