Fibrous portion of the Dog diet The vegetables cells present in the cellulose of the membranes constitute the not digested fibrous portion of the diet, direct or indirectly, by the non-herbivores mammals. This crosses the digestive conduit and provides volume and consistency at the excrement. When the dog receives a meat diet, lacking of fiber, the dog's excrements are a tarred color, soft and with bad scent. It is adequate that the dry substance of the diet contains about 2% of coarse material (or better know as fiber). Balanced dog diet: A balanced diet is that one that provides the correct quantities of nutrition use for a good reproduction, maintenance, work or growth of the animal. The dog's digestive capacity is extremely flexible, that even though if the diet differs in their composition, it will still be a balanced diet for the animal. |
