A while ago, CCTV personally warned some unscrupulous mukbang operators. In an instant, the industry routine of mukbang was openly exposed to the public. There are endless chaos in eating and broadcasting such as posing for photos, pretending to eat, inducing vomiting, and wasting food. Netizens lamented, "They really do whatever it takes to make money!"
After a period of rectification, some chaos in the food and broadcast industry has gradually disappeared, and the food and broadcast industry has gradually improved. However, the good times did not last long, and before long, pets became the protagonists of mukbang scenes. Suddenly, a large number of pet eating and broadcasting videos appeared one after another. In order to satisfy people's curiosity, the operator behind the video actually made the pet dog a big eater, and even let the pet dog eat raw meat.
After seeing this, the editor broke out in a cold sweat. Today I will analyze with you the "advantages" and "disadvantages" of eating raw meat for pet dogs!
1. Benefits of pet dogs eating raw meat:
1. Appetite: Surveys have shown that dogs fed raw meat are rarely anorexic. Dogs eating raw meat will have a better appetite and will not have the problem of stuffed teeth.
2. Rich in nutrients: Raw meat contains essential nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, proteins, fatty acids and vitamins, which can provide better nutrition for dogs.
3. Helps hair growth: Occasionally feeding raw meat to dogs can also make their hair smoother and shiny.
2. Disadvantages of pet dogs eating raw meat:
1. Single nutritional structure: Dogs need a combination of multiple energy substances during their growth, and raw meat alone cannot meet these needs. Moreover, the protein content in raw meat is very high, which can cause obesity in dogs and even cause kidney disease.
2. Increased internal parasites: Parasites and various bacteria contained in raw meat are the biggest harm to dogs eating raw meat. Once the parasites or parasite eggs in raw meat are eaten by dogs, some Toxoplasma gondii will parasitize in the dogs' internal organs and muscles. In the long run, the risk of dogs getting sick increases.
3. Gastrointestinal burden: Raw meat is usually stored frozen, and eating it for dogs will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Moreover, pet dogs have been raised at home since childhood, and their gastrointestinal function will not be as good as that of free-range wild dogs. Eating raw meat hastily will make their gastrointestinal inability to adapt.
4. The quality of raw meat cannot be guaranteed: Today, when the new coronavirus epidemic has not completely dissipated, we do not know the source of raw meat. Raw meat whose quality cannot be guaranteed will have many potential dangers.
5. Stimulate the wild nature of dogs: You must know that wolves are the ancestors of dogs. As early as the hunting era, people slowly domesticated dogs as hunting assistants. Dogs still have a certain wolf nature hidden in their bones. Feeding too much raw meat will stimulate the wild nature of dogs to a certain extent.
In general, the "disadvantages" of feeding raw meat to pet dogs outweigh the "benefits"! Therefore, whether it is pet food or daily life at home, dog owners should try to feed their pet dogs as little raw meat as possible. The health of our dogs is our biggest wish!
