Scientists have found that the immunity of the dog's gut accounts for 80% of the dog's total immunity.
We live in a world full of toxins, whether it is food, water, even the air contains various toxic substances.
For dogs, in addition to the above things, a variety of ectoparasites, a large number of internal parasites, coupled with the side effects of various drugs, etc., are constantly attacking its immune tissue.
In other words, if the dog's stomach problems, then the follow-up problems will be very much, but also, if you can protect the dog's stomach, then you will avoid a lot of unnecessary diseases. The dog's gut can detect and destroy foreign substances such as germs, parasites and chemical toxins, and it also has an excellent "learning" ability to coordinate specific viruses to help fight back the next time a threat arises.
A dog's immune system is like a human's, and you can think of it as a communication system to protect against viruses and toxins.
When the immune system's "communication system" is wrong, the immune system will think that healthy cells are no longer healthy, and will "mistakenly kill" these healthy cells, which is common in dogs with various allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, liver disease, cancer, and so on.
The immune system, like the intestines mentioned earlier, also needs proper rest, daily and night consumption of food will make the immune system and intestines become tired, and fasting is the best solution.
The most intuitive benefits of fasting are:
1.Fasting keeps their intestines breaking down food
2.Fasting promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut
3.Fasting allows the immune system to recharge and repair itself
4.Fasting helps detoxify their immune system
5.Fasting can boost your dog's metabolism and promote fat burning and conditioning
But it's not that simple.
Many people think of fasting as a day without water, but this is completely wrong. Because of the diversity of dog breeds and the difference of each dog's stomach, we must not use a "one-size-fits-all" way to simple and rough fasting, which will only trigger the dog's fear of food.
Dogs cannot fast under the following conditions:
No underage dogs!
Easy to appear hypoglycemic dogs do not!
Diabetic dogs do not!
Dogs with fatty liver don't!
No older dogs!
Dogs prone to hypothermia must not fast, which will aggravate the condition!
These three ways of fasting can be referred to:
Weekly edition:
Pick a random day during the week, and on that day, give it at least 70% less time to eat than usual, that is, let it eat for a while and then take it away, and maintain this rhythm throughout the day.
Daily Edition:
Enhanced version:
Choose a day, zipper usually choose on Friday night, in the evening to feed the dog, appropriate to add more dog food and meat, so that it can eat once, and then do not care about it.
After the end of the fast, do not love the dog hungry to give more food, this will only backfire, aggravate the burden of the dog's stomach, be sure to control the amount, the dog is not as delicate as you think, how much to give.
Fasting can not cut off water!
Play with toys to distract your dog during fasting.
