Pet nutrition-what not to do

Swarupmay Majumdar many
of the pet owners I meet are of the opinion that a dog should not get
salt, sugar & curd in their food as they're the culprits causing
all skin conditions!! I am frustraed telling them the truth, many of
them do not believe that a dog can be given sugar, salt and curd!! its
has nothing bad to do when within limits. I am Not correct?

    • Swarupmay Majumdar Why not sugar? Dogs too suffer from diabetes,if it is diagnosed as having diabetes, or some signs of recurring pyoderma I may say no to sugar. Sugar is the only nutrient for the brain!! May be we must not be so bitter on the sugar.

  1. No spices please. Think of the acidity in dog. Everything of salt and sugar to be in moderation. Actually except in typical deficiency cases, salt and sugar extra addition is not needed but in moderation obviously does not harm.
