Water

Let’s first talk about the most common “water”. "Water" is the source of life, the most important carrier in the dog's body, and will participate in all the dog's physiological functions. "Water" is the medium that transports nutrients and waste in the dog's body. It is also the lubricant of the dog's joints, eyes, and inner ears. It is also involved in most metabolisms. In addition to drinking water every day, dogs also get the water they need through food. Dry dog ​​food can contain up to 10% moisture, and wet food can contain up to 80% moisture.

Protein

As the most important and basic nutritional element for dogs, it is the most abundant substance in the body besides water, accounting for about half of the dog's net weight. Various tissues and organs in the body, various enzymes involved in substance metabolism, and antibodies that protect the body from disease are all composed of proteins.

Protein is used to synthesize various parts of the dog's body. Muscles contain a large amount of protein. Skin and hair contain protein. Blood, internal organs, tendons, and brain all contain a large amount of protein. Without protein, the synthesis of these substances will be affected, thereby affecting the growth of the animal and the recovery of injured tissues. Protein deficiency can lead to anemia, slow growth, weight loss, decreased immunity, etc. Daily protein supply: 4g per kilogram of body weight for adult dogs and 9.6g for growing dogs.

Calcium

The importance of the nutrient element "calcium" is well known. 90% of the "calcium" in a dog's body is found in the bones and teeth of the body. At the same time, "calcium" is also involved in the transmission of information between cells and the transmission of nerve impulses. Getting the right amount of calcium is important to ensure your dog’s bone health. Professional dog food will provide the appropriate amount of "calcium" for dogs according to their needs at different growth stages.

Vitamins

"Vitamins" are absolutely indispensable nutrients for dogs. The water-soluble vitamin "vitamin B" contained in dog food is very important for the normal operation of the dog's nerve function. "Vitamin B3" (niacin) is also an essential amino acid that dogs need. Dogs cannot store vitamin B themselves and can only obtain it through daily food.

The fat-soluble "vitamin E" contained in dog food can strengthen the dog's immune system and protect cell membranes from free radical damage. It is a natural antioxidant. The new customized dry dog ​​food for puppies has a specially increased content of vitamin E to help puppies improve their own immunity.epidemic force. At the same time, the vitamin E content in the new dry dog ​​food for older dogs has also been increased to help dogs delay aging.

Omega fatty acids

"Omega-3 fatty acids" can improve the condition of dogs' fur and prevent cognitive impairment in older animals by increasing the oxygen supply to the brain. of degradation. There is more evidence that pregnant dogs need Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in their diet to ensure the normal growth and development of the placenta.

"Omega-6 fatty acids" participate in the synthesis of prostaglandins and are important nutrients for dog coat health and healthy reproduction. The Omega-6 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids includes two essential fatty acids, arachidonic acid and linoleic acid. Arachidonic acid is found in animal fats, and linoleic acid can be obtained from vegetable oils. Beiliangbao contains high-quality "Omega-6", which can prevent the dog's coat from being in poor condition due to a lack of "Omega-6".

Fat

Another important nutrient is "fat". Masters, don’t “talk about fat discoloration”. "Fat" is not only the most important energy source for dogs, but also an important substance that constitutes the cell membrane structure and a source of essential fatty acids. It is also the carrier of fat-soluble vitamins. The absorption of several important nutrients mentioned earlier cannot be separated from the "help" of fat, so it is very important for dogs to consume an appropriate amount of fat.
