In many homes today, dogs and cats living in harmony under the same roof. The coexistence of cats and dogs, although it once seemed difficult, has now become routine for many animal lovers. Like this, it is born and a practical question: can the dog and the cat to eat from the same food? The answer is not simply a matter of convenience or to save money, but emerges from the biology, physiology and the nutritional needs of these two animals, which differ significantly between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cat, in contrast to the dog, it is mandatory carnivorous animal. This means that it has evolved to be based almost exclusively on animal protein to survive. The agency is not able to synthesize certain essential nutrients, such as taurine, arachidonic acid, and vitamin A, and so we must recruit directly from the diet. On the other hand, the dog no longer be omnivorous. If you and also prefers animal proteins, the evolution of species has resulted in the ability to digest and utilize, to a large extent ingredients of plant origin, composing in parallel only some of the vitamins and amino acids it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nutrients (amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins) are divided into essential and non-essential. The necessary ingredients are those that the body can't synthesize on his own and must be taken through food. Respectively, the non-essentials, are the nutrients that the body makes on his own in the body. Commercial foods are designed, by law, to meet the needs of the species for which they are intended in essential nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The necessary nutrients for a dog is different from a cat's, with the result that the foods that are produced for dogs and cats to have a completely different composition, with nutrients depending on the needs of each species. The dog food doesn't contain high levels of the amino acid taurine, because, unlike the cat, the dog is not considered a necessary nutrient. If a cat is fed regularly with food dog, in danger from insufficient intake of taurine, which can cause cardiac or eye disorders. On the other hand, if a dog consumes systematically food for cats, which is richer in protein and fat (and cats need as obligate carnivores), there is an increased risk for gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, or pancreatitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to understand that the common food, no matter how tempting, and if it seems like for the sake of practicality, it is not a safe solution. Dogs and cats have different needs and their diet should be responsive of-a-kind. Eating from the same bowl may seem innocent, but may cause health problems in the long term.The most secure way to ensure the health of your four-legged friends is to offer them food appropriate to the species, to be fed in separate spaces and to avoid any form of \"sharing\" of the food. The love for our pets it looks to small everyday choices, and the correct diet is perhaps the most important. After all, like the people, the animals, the good health starts from the plate (bowl!)!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
