Dog owners are overwhelmed by the choice of food available for their family’s new member, According to a recent survey. This feeling can be partially because dog owners have to make all food decisions alone: dogs do not have the ability to order their own food on uberateats or to help their preferences helpful! Many recent research posts highlight the factors that affect food selection for dogs. I will talk about these results in the blog post below.
What your dog’s food says about you.
The Dogg Enjogue Project A Citizen Scientist Research Consortium, which includes more than 50,000 dogs in various projects. Their latest post Investors the population factors affecting dog food choices.. Of the 40,000 owners of the dog, it is no surprise that 82% fed the kabal, because the most common type of kibble dog food. The popularity of the cable is from its nutritional value, convenience and price point.
The interesting discovery about the cable is that the cable is usually fed as the owners’ age. This study did not determine the reasons behind this change, but the authors believe that older owners have more time to eat a diet other than the cable or as the dog is age, different diet health problems Helps to handle. The owner’s income was not known as the motivation for this change. However, the owner’s income was associated with feeding raw food. More than $ 180,000 annual income owners feed raw foods than those below that limit.
Cereal or no grain dug food?
Another recent study saw the owner’s preferences to feed the cable, especially the grain -free pitcher. Over the past decade, the popularity of the grain -free cable has increased and it consists of 40% of the cable available in the United States. Of the 3,000+ dog owners in the United States, Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, more than half reported receiving food recommendations from their animal doctor. Although I am potentially biased, your dog doctor knows them better in suggesting their life stage, activity levels and proper doses for health conditions.
The dog owners chose a grain -free diet, who felt their dogs were allergic to food. It does not fully mean to me, because there are common sources of allergic proteins in food such as beef, turkey, chicken and other meat, not carbohydrate sources. However, it is understood to me that owners who choose a grain -free food have also excluded grain from their diet, as many pet owners have their food preferences on their pets, better or Offer for worse.
Finally, owners who choose a grain -free food also received their information from pet shops and online sources instead of an animal doctor. For records, I have serious concerns about feeding a grain -free diet, because studies show that it plays a role in some of the heart disease cases.
What do dogs want to eat?
Since dogs do not talk, researchers study dogs’ food preferences by giving dogs a choice between different foods. Despite the lack of verbal skills, dogs have the natural ability to understand and treat human social gestures. In an article title of “Does your choice of my choice?” Dogs show evidence of the owner’s influence over their choice of food, and if a person prefers a small part, he will also choose a small service. It seems that we should easily be able to feed our dogs what we want to eat!
