Can dogs eat sweet food?

Although sweets are delicious, dogs love them too. But eating sweets is not good for dogs.

I saw such an example on a forum the other day: a dog owner brought his spotted dog to another friend's house, and his friend gave the dog The dogs especially enjoyed more than 20 candies. At that time, the dog owner did not pay special attention, but from the next day, Spot's appetite began to decrease, and mild diarrhea and vomiting appeared. I thought it was a cold, for some anti-inflammatory drugs, but the situation has not improved, and it is getting worse. Then he started to have bloody stools and became depressed. When he went to the hospital for treatment, he had conjunctiva and pale gums, which was obviously a serious blood loss. In the end, the dog's skin lost its elasticity, and the spirit was depressed and dehydrated, and he was almost not rescued.

This is the result of the friend's kind candy. Remember: dogs can't eat too much candy! Because the dog's digestive system can't secrete and decompose disaccharides (such as sucrose, etc.), it can't decompose and absorb sucrose; once a dog eats a lot of sucrose or fructose, in the digestive tract A hypertonic environment is formed, allowing a large amount of body fluids to enter the intestinal lumen, resulting in diarrhea.

At the same time, in addition to candy, other kinds of sweets are also less for dogs to eat. Often giving dogs sweets, there are also the following disadvantages:

1. First, the sugar and fat ratio in sweets is relatively high. Even if they don't eat much, they can make the dog's intake of energy and other nutrients. The proportion of ingredients is out of balance;

2. The energy intake of the dog is too high, and it cannot be consumed and converted into fat and deposited in the dog's body, causing the dog's obesity;

3. Soft The sweets are not conducive to training the dog's teeth, and the sweets debris is a good culture medium for bacteria, which is more likely to promote the growth of bacteria, resulting in dental plaque, tooth decay and other dental diseases in dogs;

4. Those who often eat sweets Dogs are prone to gastrointestinal and oral diseases.

In addition, eating too cold or too greasy sweets, such as ice cream, can also cause dogs to vomit or have diarrhea, leading to enteritis. For the above reasons, you should not give your dog regular sweets.
