Food QUALITY and REGULARITY

Food QUALITY and REGULARITY are synonymous with good health
what food for our dogs


AVOID GIVING;

Any industrial food: do not follow the advertisement, nor the pleasure that your animal seems to experience, nor the price which is not always linked to the quality of the product but to the cost of the advertisement. The composition of a food means nothing. When a manufacturer claims to put "digestible" proteins, are they sirloin or powdered duck feathers? Nobody says ...
Boxes and other dog food, rich in salt or flavor enhancers, These foods, always sterilized, are harmful: fermentations, allergies, indigestion, eczema…
FRUITS: give in moderation as they promote acidic fermentation. Give them only 10 hours after a meal, or at the latest 1 hour before the meal. An adult dog takes an average of 10 to 12 hours minimum to digest its meal, nothing should be added in this interval except water.
Starchy foods: like bread, pasta ... are to be avoided for the fermentations they generate.
SALT, cured meats, ham: carnivores poorly evacuate the excess mineral salts they contain, their only way of sweating being the pads and the respiratory tract.
Raw egg white: when giving eggs, give boiled eggs.
MILK and DAIRY BY-PRODUCTS: frequent source of diarrhea, inflammatory pathologies, disorders of the intestinal flora. They carry pesticide and antibiotic residues. Yogurts are used infrequently.
ABATS: elimination organs, they concentrate all the waste and toxins of the organism, plus the residues of pesticides and antibiotics.
Table RESTES: to choose, and not to mix with an industrial meal; they are not garbage cans.
SUGARS, DRIED CAKES, BISCUITS ... source of acidic fermentation with severe visceral pain (colic), liver, pancreatic disorders, eczema, obesity, and various allergies
Bones: risk of constipation, even occlusion, perforation. Always avoid rabbit, pork, mutton, and poultry bones, which make very dangerous splinters when breaking. Prefer softer calf bones (the ideal is the palette).

The chewing bones or chewing strips are interesting for their mechanical role, but are sometimes coated with a thin layer of skim milk which brings allergies and fermentations.
SAUCES, cooked fats, grills, because they are carcinogenic. Sauces are broths of cultures that cause severe diarrhea.


IMPORTANT NOTES
You should not change each menu of Medor "to make it happy", you are likely to put it in diarrhea or induce other problems. The only tolerable and interesting variations are to be able to go from a traditional meal: (meat + rice + vegetables + supplements indicated above) to a single good industrial food for all the conveniences that this represents. It's best never to mix the two with one meal.

If an animal vomits or has diarrhea as a result of excess or sudden food change, it is imperative to leave it on a diet for at least 24 hours.

In case of abnormal depression or persistence of the disorders, it can be a serious pathology, more serious than a simple indigestion! consult your veterinarian.



For those who wish to understand the information on the kibble bags:

The term by-products designates the residues of products intended for human consumption. That is to say for cereals: husks, broken, damaged grains, moldy, chemically polluted (pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer); and for animal materials: beaks, feathers, horns, hooves, fur, fins…

The term ash refers to the mineral residue of the product (what remains after combustion). A rate around 7% remains normal and acceptable. Above 8%, you should be very careful: an excess of certain minerals can be harmful to health.


Beware of cooking:

The primary objective of cooking food is to guarantee the safety of the raw materials used: cooking actually destroys harmful microorganisms (viruses, parasites, bacteria, yeast) that may be found in the ingredients. During the industrial cooking-extrusion operation the ingredients are pressurized, they are blown with air, then the products are heated to very high temperatures (frequently up to over 400 °).

This temperature generates a phenomenon of pyrolysis of the product. It has been scientifically established that by attacking the amino acid structure of food, it produces highly carcinogenic substances known as heterocyclic amines.


We could talk about this subject for hours since there is so much to say. And I am far from having all the knowledge to do it ...

What is certain today is that we must be very wary of everything that comes from industrialists whose interests are the opposite of ours!

If we can alternate raw food (mainly meat and vegetables) and kibble, it can only be good for our dog.

 That you should not, in any case, radically change your diet without transition

That I have read on forums that some dogs do not support fresh food: personally all my dogs support it without problem. Afterwards, it is important to learn about the quantities which are very different. Personally, I gained weight, especially on Flavie but I admit that I did not weigh everything.

Industrialists play a lot on our fears and manipulate us!

When I was little and young adult, all our dogs came very old, we knew nothing about their nutritional balance, they ate I often think of table scraps, they were not vaccinated I believe, nor dewormed or treated against fleas. All of this is relatively recent. They never saw the veterinarians who were rare, you had to travel 30 km to have one and for the time, it was very far away… Admittedly, we did not live in the same world but I believe that when even a lot of abuse!

Afterwards, it's up to everyone to make the difference, to document themselves, to take responsibility, to measure in terms of benefit / risk and to choose the solution that suits them best, but you still have to have the right information!

This is what I tried to share with you here for the info I have ...
