Weight of the digestive tract The small intestine in dogs and cats cannot digest carbohydrates like humans can. Pet diets should therefore comprise a precise amount of carbohydrates as well as highly
digestible proteins. Digestion Transit, and therefore digestion time, is much shorter in cats and dogs than in humans. The dog's stomach stretches after each meal and can fill up to half of the abdominal cavity.
Digestive sensitivity is revealed mainly by diarrhoea (of varying consistency), flatulence, and occasionally constipation or vomiting. Puppies and kittens are particularly sensitive because their digestive systems are not fully
developed. Some nutrients are more difficult to digest than others The high digestibility of Royal Canin food guarantees digestive security and affects the smell, quantity and consistency of stools.
Common misconceptions about digestion and nutrition "My dog eats what I do" FALSE Dogs do not have the same eating habits as humans. Their digestive system works in a totally different way so, unlike humans, they
can digest larger quantities of fat (provided it is good quality fat!). They cannot digest starch (e.g.: rice) unless it is perfectly cooked. "Kibbles cause calcium stones in urine" FALSE
In fact, some kibbles are actually formulated to prevent the formation of calculus. Remember to leave a dish of water constantly accessible for your pet. "My dog needs variety in its diet" FALSE Ideally, your
dog should have the same food in the same dish, in the same place, at the same time every day! Dogs are perfectly happy eating the same complete, balanced food and do not get fed up! We sometimes imagine such things by putting
ourselves in their place, but remember that any sudden change in their diet can cause digestive disorders … Food transition A varied diet is actually harmful to your pet. Each diet change means that the digestive system
has to adapt, which may cause disorders like loose stools or diarrhoea. To avoid such issues if you want to change, introduce the new food gradually into the usual diet and slowly reduce the ``former food" one day at a time.
