CARNIVORES?
Dogs and cats have no nutritional
need for carbohydrates and are
evolved to use protein and fat as
energy sources.
• The natural diet contains almost no
carbohydrate at all, and the small
predigested grains, fruits & vegetables in the
stomach of a prey animal make up a very
small fraction of the total diet.
• Today’s high carbohydrate pet foods lead to
blood sugar fluctuations, insulin resistance,
and are widely considered as a leading
cause of obesity, diabetes and a host of
other health problems in cats and dogs.
• Conventional dry dog foods have a very high
carbohydrate content, with most foods
exceeding 40-50% in total carbohydrate
content.
• Almost half of typical dry dog foods is nonessential,
simple sugars! This important fact
is often lost on consumers as pet food
makers are not required to claim
carbohydrate content on their packages.
• Carbohydrate intake above the daily needs
of the dog (which regularly occurs with
conventional pet foods) prompts internal
enzyme factors to store the extra
carbohydrate as body fat.
• The Association of American Feed Control
Officials’ (AAFCO) nutrient profiles show
that carbohydrates are not essential for dogs
and cats, and that no minimum level of
carbohydrate is needed in their diets.
• According to Dr. David S. Kronfeld,
carbohydrates need not be supplied to adult
dogs, even those working hard as the liver is
easily able to synthesize sufficient glucose
(from protein and fats).
