Carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient for dogs, yet many dry dog foods are packed with them.
Dogs have a shorter digestive tract compared to herbivores; they cannot efficiently break down large amounts of starch.
A high-carbohydrate diet can lead to a cascade of health issues:
Excess carbs are stored as fat, stressing joints and the heart.
Rapid spikes in glucose put stress on the pancreas, potentially leading to insulin resistance and diabetes.
High-carb diets can promote yeast overgrowth and inflammation, contributing to arthritis and skin conditions.
Sugars and refined starches contribute to plaque accumulation, gingivitis, and tooth decay.
Irregular blood sugar causes fluctuations in energy, making dogs appear lethargic or hyperactive.
