Chicken liver & Rice

Rice and chicken liver - I analyzed another common home cooked meal given to pets

✅ Optimum amounts of Proteins and iron

⬆️ Excessive amounts of carbs

⚠️Insufficient amounts of Dietary fibre, fat such as omega 3 fatty acids, Calcium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, choline, vitamin D, Thiamine etc

What would go wrong? ⏩ Chronic illness

✅ Dull skin and fur coat

✅ Chronic kidney disease (low vitamin D⏩ hyperPTH) 

✅ Osteoarthritis 

✅ Obesity 

✅ Fatty liver or unexplained liver disease (idiopathic) 

✅ Poor cognition - Doggy dementia 

✅ Depigmentation of fur

✅ Tumors/cancers

✅ Mega colon 

If the ratio of chicken liver to rice increases, there are also chances of getting too much of vitamin A, iron and vitamin D - toxicoses

What do we do then? 

✅ External supplementation 

How? Options⏬

1. Synthetic supplements - think twice 

2. Natural individual supplements - not practical

3. Functional natural pet food - Spotz 

Spotz, a pet food made in a scientific way to make sure that even the pets who receive home cooked meals would have access to better nutrition to prevent, cure or support pets with chronic diseases ™️
