Grains, including rice, are definitely not poison and can be eaten, but among the many foods that dogs can eat, grains are not high-quality food, nor are they necessary.

Cause

1. Grain itself has a problem, that is, its absorption rate is low, its digestion and absorption burden is heavy, its protein content is low, and its protein absorption rate is even lower. This is true for humans, and even more so for dogs.

2. The dog’s intestines are relatively short and require very little fiber to promote peristalsis, so too much fiber is not needed. Therefore, the role of excessive carbohydrates (fiber) in grains is of little significance to dogs.

3. Compared with other foods, grains are more likely to cause bloating and food allergies. Once gastric bloating occurs, there is more than 60% chance that it will kill the dog within 12 hours.

4. Grains and other carbohydrates are more likely to cause yellow teeth in dogs. Moreover, although polysaccharides (converted from carbohydrates) can improve the body's immunity for dogs, dogs' ability to absorb and metabolize sugar is worse than humans. The sugar that is not metabolized will be converted into fat, so dogs Dogs are more susceptible to obesity and fatty liver disease than humans.

Note:

Whole grains are the biggest source of dog allergies, so when making your own food, parents should be careful not to eat too much grains.
