5 Common Natural Food Sources For Dogs Diet
Eggs: Eggs for feeding dogs can be bought by the dozen in the grocery store, by the hundreds from hatcheries or by the thousands from egg ranches.
Disregarding of how numerous or where they are obtained, an egg should never be fed to a dog uncooked. Raw egg whites interfere with the vitamin, biotin, and inhibit a dog from using it. In fact, feeding uncooked egg whites is the exact manner scientists create experimental biotin deficiency in a laboratory.
Milk: Much controversy has raged over feeding milk to dogs.
Milk has been accessed of causing diarrhea and other digestive upsets. When it may bring about these problems in large amounts, if milk is kept to about two ounces of fluid milk or two tablespoons of dry milk per pound of dog food, few problems will be encountered.
The value of the milk, when fed in correct amounts, exceeds the risk of upset. Milk supplies calcium and phosphorus in the correct ratio and amounts, a large number of vitamins, and also a protein which approaches the importance of whole egg.
Cottage cheese: Cottage cheese is little more than the higher protein part of milk casein. It does not have the same value as the protein of whole milk because the lactoalbumin, normally occurring in whole milk, has been washed away in the whey. The value of the protein in cottage cheese compares satisfactorily with that of horse meat.
Cottage cheese offers the dog feeder an low priced, easily available source of quality protein for his dog.
Cheese: Another dairy commodity made from casein is cheese.
Cheese, unlike cottage cheese, also contains a immense quantity of fat. The fat makes cheese a worthwhile source of energy as well as of protein. Because they are made as human foods, and are sold in competition with varied human foods, cheeses are among the more high priced protein sources for feeding dogs. For dog feeders who desire to spend the additional money, cheese is a valuable consideration.
Fish: Fish is not commonly used in dietary formulations for dog food, but there is no logical remote cause to remove it from observation as a protein source for a dogs diet. Actually, fish protein is one of the better proteins, for the money, that a dog feeder can employ. Fish, too, should without fail be cooked before being fed. In this case the heat destroys a chemical found in several fish that will break down vitamin B1 (thiamine) if left consistent.
