Inadvertently, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been around for a long time, and the National Day of the 11th is coming to an end, but I firmly believe that there are still many mooncakes left in my home. Although the owner is likely to be tired of eating mooncakes, the dog always sees it. Can a greedy dog ​​eat mooncakes?

The ingredients in general mooncakes have very high oil content, and the amount is far beyond that of ordinary ingredients.

However, the dog food that dogs usually take is generally dominated by low vegetable oils. If you take mooncakes with such a large oil content all at once, it will cause the dog to be unable to digest and absorb, feel gastrointestinal discomfort, and have diarrhea and other problems. The depressions in the mooncakes represent our daily love and affection, so the sugar added inside is shockingly high, and you will feel very greasy if you eat too much.

The dog's metabolism of sugar is not high, and excessive intake is very likely to cause gastrointestinal swelling, causing diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

Wheat flour

The key ingredient of wheat flour is tapioca starch sugar. As an omnivorous dog, it can still be digested and absorbed.

However, if the dog takes it for a long time, it will cause obesity. Therefore, sometimes the amount of wheat flour in a piece of mooncake is not likely to harm the dog's physical and mental health.

Therefore, for ordinary mooncakes with high sugar, high calories, high fryers and high fat, the owner sometimes considers the dog's desire for knowledge and gives it a little taste.

Dogs must not eat this kind of mooncake!

1. Low-sugar mooncakes

Most low-sugar mooncakes are not real low-sugar, they just exchange white sugar for maltitol.

And maltitol is a chronic poison for dogs! 1 kg of maltitol weighing 0.5 grams can kill the dog.

After dogs accidentally swallow maltitol, their blood sugar level will drop rapidly. After they are less than the standard value, the dog will also experience cardiac arrest, tics and other symptoms, which will even endanger the dog's liver, and will cause death in serious cases.

2. Many mooncakes containing dried blueberries are also understood that red lemons cannot be eaten by dogs, but after being made into dried blueberries, they are also full of toxic side effects for dogs.

What owners are very likely to ignore is that dried blueberries are added to some five-nut mooncakes, and dogs usually get poisoned after taking red peels. It mainly shows substantial mental silence, vomiting and diarrhea, poor appetite, and more serious liver failure can also cause dogs to die.

Therefore, we should prevent dogs from feeding red and dried blueberries!

3. Some chocolate mooncakes are more "high-end and elegant" than mooncakes, and they will independently innovate various tastes, such as chocolate mooncakes. These mooncakes cannot be taken for dogs.

The cocoamin and caffeine in chocolate are very likely to cause poisoning of dogs, which will damage the dog's central nervous system, lead to rapid heartbeat, and even a sudden death.

Therefore, the owner must not be careless. Once he finds that the dog has taken it, he needs to take the dog to treat him immediately and detoxify his body immediately so that the dog can recover as soon as possible.

Therefore, for dogs, mooncakes are not the same suitable ingredients. If the owner wants to give the dog a good meal, he can try to make dog mooncakes, or a delicious dog food with nutritious ingredients, you can also consider its appetite.
