How to make dogs eat carrots?
Before discussing how to make carrots, everyone needs to pay attention: Some friends have responded that their dogs have a good stomach on weekdays, but they have diarrhea after eating carrots. Why is this?
What many dog owners will not notice is that feeding carrots is not the more the better, but depends on the dog’s body size and its own digestive ability, such as a Yorkshire Terrier, it eats a day About 1-2 sliced carrots are enough
must be moderate
production of carrots Method
The most common way to make carrots is steaming, boiling can also be done, of course, you can also try it if you have an oven. Regardless of the production method, these processed carrots are more easily absorbed by dogs due to the artificial destruction of their cell walls.
As for the production method of feeding dogs with oil, it is not recommended. The reason It’s very simple, there is a steaming method that retains the best nutrition, why should you use oil?
Carotene is a substance that is only soluble in fat and not in water. Without the help of fat, it is difficult to absorb. So far, it’s all scientific truth, and it’s true.
However, only soluble in fat does not mean that it must be fried in oil
Because the absorption of carotene is carried out in the intestines , it has nothing to do with whether there is oil in the pot, as long as there is fat in the food entering the intestine, it is enough to help the absorption of carotene
No need to fry in oil, carotene can also be absorbed
