www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-01-08-dogs-carb-heavy-dietsStory at-a-glance Like many humans, most dogs these days eat carb-heavy diets, even though canines have no (zero) nutritional requirement for carbohydrates; the diseases they acquire also mimic those in the human population Veterinarians Chris Zink and Donna Raditic took a deep dive into the phenomenon, and discovered it’s not only the carbs, but how they’re processed that can create disease in canine companions Kibble is produced using an extrusion process that causes significant damage to ingredients; this can in turn create systemic inflammation and a host of disorders and diseases in pets fed these ultraprocessed products My recommendation is to feed your dog the highest quality diet you can afford, including a variety of nutritionally balanced, unprocessed, or minimally processed whole foods My notes: Just like with humans, carbs is not the evil food, it's when it's in excess & the junk carbs like breads, pastries.

Nothing wrong with treating yourself to a sweet now and then.
