Recently, a news about a dog stealing 32 raw dumplings and treating them with hydrogen peroxide by the owner has aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens. Some netizens questioned whether there is a problem with dogs eating raw meat? Is this kind of treatment redundant? Next, let's take a look.
It's a well-known fact that dogs are greedy for food, but what is the impact of eating raw food on your dog's health?
First of all, there are certain health risks associated with dogs eating raw meat. There may be various bacteria, viruses and parasites in raw meat, and uncooked food can easily cause food poisoning or infection in dogs. Moreover, the vitamin and mineral content of raw food is lower than that of cooked food, and long-term consumption may lead to malnutrition in dogs.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a chemical widely used in disinfection and anti-inflammatory. In home use, the appropriate use of appropriately diluted hydrogen peroxide can play a certain role in antibacterial and hemostatic effects on minor skin wounds, wound infections, etc. However, caution is required when using hydrogen peroxide on animals, as the dog's digestive tract is not suitable for direct contact with hydrogen peroxide. If hydrogen peroxide is used excessively or in high concentrations, it may cause irritation and damage to the dog's gastric mucosa.
In order to avoid health problems caused by dogs stealing raw meat, we recommend that owners try to avoid giving raw food directly to dogs. On the contrary, cooked food is safer and can better ensure the dog's nutritional intake and health.
For the situation where the dog steals raw meat and is given hydrogen peroxide treatment, we must not only understand the owner's concerns, but also pay attention to the reasonable way to deal with it. After all, the health of dogs is the most important responsibility of our owners. If you encounter a similar situation, it is recommended that the owner consult a veterinarian in time and follow professional advice to deal with it to ensure the health and safety of the dog.
