Every dog owner knows that proper nutrition is the key to the health and activity of his pet.

And if the responsibility for the quality of the food lies entirely with the dog's owner, then the process of eating food remains, as they say, outside of his competence.

When a dog sees an appetizing and tasty food, it runs as fast as its legs – or rather, paws – to empty its bowl.

Such situations occur quite often. Why are they dangerous?

The whole point is that due to intense hunger and the desire to eat everything at once, the animal often does not chew the food properly, but swallows it.
