Have you noticed that your dog has become lethargic, his coat has become dull, and his eyes have lost their shine?
All of this could be a sign that you are secretly poisoning him with… the most ordinary food.
Yes, even expensive foods with bright packaging sometimes contain ingredients that slowly destroy the health of your pet.
For example, the label “meat and animal products” often hides ground bones, skin and tendons that are not digested by the body.
And even worse - grains in the composition. Dogs, unlike humans, almost do not digest corn, wheat or soy. These components cause allergies, bloating and even diabetes.
But it's not just the bowl that's dangerous. Did you know that the water your pet drinks can be deadly? If you wash the bowl once a week or less, slime will form on its walls — these are colonies of bacteria, including salmonella and E. coli
They enter the body with every sip, causing chronic inflammation of the intestines. And if the dog drinks from a puddle during a walk, the risks increase several times: leptospires live in stagnant water, which affect the liver and kidneys.
What to do? First, learn to read the composition of the feed. The first place should be the specific meat: "chicken", "beef", "salmon", and not vague formulations.
Avoid foods with artificial colors and preservatives - they provoke cancer. Secondly, wash the bowls every day with hot water and soda. And never give your dog table scraps!
Cooked bones, chocolate, onions and grapes are poison that can kill in a few hours. Replace them with safe treats: pieces of carrots, apples or special chew sticks from a pet store.
And if you want to be 100% sure, switch your pet to natural food. Cook it separately: buckwheat with beef, pumpkin with turkey, cottage cheese with greens.
Yes, it takes time, but at least you know exactly what your friend is eating. And don't forget about vitamins - a vet should select them. Remember: a dog's health starts with its bowl.
