Drinkable dog food?
Border Collie (Detailed introduction)
When dogs are unable to consume solid food or are in special conditions, owners need to feed their dogs liquid food. Usually, owners make liquid food themselves, but the preparation may not be as simple as you think, and improper handling can be harmful to the dog's health. Recently, industry insiders have developed a type of drinkable dog food specifically for seriously ill dogs and those in postoperative recovery. But is this dog food really better than homemade liquid food?
First, judging from the product name, this is a prescription food suitable for dogs after surgery, during recovery, and postpartum. The product instructions also indicate it is especially suitable for dogs with feeding tubes or those unable to eat solid food. It can be used as a main meal or as a supplement combined with wet food. Of course, when you purchase this dog food, you will not receive a bottle of liquid food but a bottle of dry powder. When feeding is needed, cold broth or water should be added and shaken well before feeding.
Secondly, let's look at the main ingredients and functions of this dog food. The main ingredients include protein hydrolysates, essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, ginseng, and other natural extracts. It has the functions of promoting blood circulation, enhancing immunity, and accelerating recovery. To avoid diarrhea or other issues caused by sudden food changes, the product instructions also advise owners to gradually switch the food.
Currently, no research shows that this product causes adverse effects on dogs, but purchasing should still be done cautiously.
