Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table? A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki say this diet is not enough with variety (多样化) and good for our pet dogs, either.
The scientists discovered that the foods a dog might find such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. Having different kinds of foods leads to many kind of microbes (微生物). There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are detrimental to us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what food they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs grew older, about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状). However, if dogs had had a mixed diet while young, it was 22%less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna told The Times of London, “Dog foods on sale are considered to provide a complete diet... But nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different?”
