The protein in dry food is not "complete protein". Dogs need to eat 40% more incomplete protein to make up for it first!
Most of the protein sources in dry foods come from plants. What impact does this have on dogs?
Complete protein vs incomplete protein
Animal protein = "complete protein"
Plant protein = "incomplete protein"
complete protein
It is easy for dogs to digest and contains all essential amino acids, so it is "top grade".
incomplete protein
It is not easy for dogs to digest and absorb, and some of the amino acid types (nutrients) in it are missing, so it is "low quality".
The main ingredient in dry food, such as corn or peas, is "incomplete protein".
To eat dog food, you need to eat 40% more protein first.
To put it simply, if you eat well, one bowl will be enough for the whole day, and if you eat poorly, you will need to eat a bowl and a half.
The National Research Council (NRC) of the United States has conducted experiments and found that dogs need to eat 40% more incomplete protein first to supplement the number of pieces!
Incomplete protein increases burden on internal organs
You may say: That's good, eat more, you will get more nutrition, and you will feel full. Then you are dead wrong.
Because dogs eat too much food, it will increase the workload of the internal organs to secrete more enzymes for digestion. Eating too much increases the workload of the intestines to absorb and process metabolites (waste), which ultimately increases the workload of the kidneys.
As a result, the dog's internal organs have to be eaten a lot, but it turns out that they may not be absorbed well in the end. It's really not worth the gain.
Normal food but hard to eat internal organs
Think about it, if you keep doing OT every day just to make money, you will get sick. In order for dogs to absorb dry food and absorb protein, their internal organs must be constantly OT, and they will also get sick.
The dog food is mediocre and you can save money, but the dog’s internal organs are constantly being eaten, so what are you willing to do with it? I don’t want your beloved dog to have a hard time, but the number is actually very difficult to calculate!
