Water

Water is the source of life. It is not only important to us, but also to dogs. Water is an essential substance for dog metabolism. Only with the participation of water can the body's endocrine and cell structure be maintained in a normal state. In addition, the evaporation of water forms heat exchange with the outside world through the body surface and respiratory system, which can lower body temperature. Therefore, you should encourage your dog to drink more water every day, which has many benefits.

Sugar

Everyone needs an appropriate amount of sugar, and dogs are the same. Feeding some sugars in an appropriate amount is helpful to the health of dogs, because sugars are polyhydroxyaldehyde or ketone compounds that can turn into one of the above two organic compounds after hydrolysis. These are the main ingredients for maintaining dogs. It is an important factor in normal physiological activities, but you should not overfeed it, as it will easily make the dog fat. Obesity will cause many diseases, so just the right amount is fine.

Inorganic Salts

Inorganic salts are mineral nutrients that exist in the body and food. They play a certain role in the health of dogs and are an important factor in maintaining normal physiological activities of dogs. If the dog does not have the habit of eating dog food, the dog can easily suffer from nutritional imbalance. Dogs need to consume an appropriate amount of sugar, protein, fat, 20 minerals, and 13 vitamins every day. Dog food is specially formulated for dogs and contains the nutrients they need.

Fat

The fat content in a dog’s body is about 10%-20% of its body weight. The fat layer stored under the skin has a thermal insulation effect. When dogs are deficient, it can cause severe digestive disorders and central nervous system dysfunction, such as fatigue and weakness, rough coat, lack of sexual desire, testicular dysplasia, or abnormal estrus in female dogs.

Vitamins

Vitamins are also very important for dogs. Vitamins are nutrients necessary for dog growth and development and to maintain normal metabolic processes. It is an organic compound with high biological activity that cannot be synthesized or is rarely synthesized in living organisms. If there is a lack of certain vitamins, the synthesis process of organic matter in the body will stop, resulting in some kind of pathology. If a dog is deficient in vitamins for a long time, many enzymes in the dog's body will be unable to be synthesized, thus affecting the entire metabolic process. In severe cases, it will cause body failure and death.
