the evolution in the feeding

The dog in its origins and wild state carnivorous era, with net occasional crude vegetable ingestion from which it obtained some essential vitamins and minerals.

Soon, one approaches the man by his great domesticación and no longer one separates of the human being until the present days, this symbiosis that suffers with the man, which it mainly uses it for the food obtaining by means of the hunting and in smaller degree for company and keeps, and the dog on the other hand in front of obtains a place and protection its natural enemies; today this situation has been reversed.

In this process that takes thousands of years and that were summarized briefly, the dog was adapting its digestive apparatus to one more a varied diet (in addition to meat) when coexisting with the man, by all means, this evolution is slow and is today that to the dog omnívoro is considered (can eat different foods), although always conserves its carnivorous instinct and continues being the meat its food favorite although it does not fulfill the nutritious requirements that he needs in the present times. Contrary to which it can seem at first sight, to feed our dog with rest of food he is uneconomical; the dog fed in irrational form, sooner or later, becomes ill and requires veterinary attention.

The wild dogs before becoming omnívoros fed themselves on prey hunted by generally herbívoros them and, of whom they ate first of all, the stomach with their contents of grass and cereals, soon the greasy parts, the vísceras, the muscles and finally the skin and bones. From vegetables they took carbohydrates, of muscles the proteins, the liver the vitamins and the bones the mineral salts. After a similar food, the digestive apparatus began to work slowly and during some days the animal could be allowed to let hunt. What it is wanted to emphasize with this last one is that a carnivorous animal in wild state does not eat only meat, but that really, a diet varied required for its maintenance and reproduction.

At the moment, the things have changed, for that reason the first norm fundamental to feed it rationally consists of giving the food him in stated times, he himself site, in he himself comedero, if it is possible always of the same person, mainly if is a unit of guard to avoid that it accepts food of strangers.
