Dogs eating raw and cooked food together, is it problem?
Mixing raw and cooked food for dogs poses the following health risks:
- Stomach pain, diarrhea
- Indigestion
- Gastroenteritis
- Imbalanced immunity, yeast infections
- Imbalanced secretion system, pancreatitis
- Digestion is not just about stomach acid
To convert proteins and fats into energy, in addition to stomach acid, they also rely on a series of "enzymes" released by the stomach and pancreas to complete the entire digestion process.
But these important enzymes are only released when the stomach's pH level (acidity) is around 2.
What can raise the pH value?
Dogs' saliva does not contain digestive enzymes, and they do not need to chew their food because they naturally have a stronger digestive system.
But starch increases the pH level in the digestive tract, preventing the body from releasing the "enzymes" that digest proteins and fats, leading to indigestion, immune system dysfunction, and secretion system disorders!
So, is it okay to only eat dry food?
All dry food and natural food contain carbohydrates, which already put a significant burden on the digestive system!
Starch not only causes a deficiency in digestive enzymes but also raises the pH level in the intestines, making it unable to kill harmful bacteria, which makes the stomach and intestines more susceptible to infections!
Moreover, most dry food uses plant protein instead of animal protein.Plant protein is harder to digest, so dogs need to secrete more digestive enzymes, putting a lot of pressure on their internal organs!
