Who likes snuggling with their fur baby? How about when you both just got all comfy and cozy; they hit you with some stinky smells? Not me! Something that not many people understand is that diet and shortening the time of digestion has such an important impact on the result of nutrient absorption as well as lessening stinking flatulence. Being around a dog that is constantly passing noxious gas is no fun and is the ultimate result of diet and improper digestion.
Digestion of Nutrients
A raw diet is significantly better than a cooked diet. Cooked ingredients tend to get stuck in the digestive tract longer which allows for more toxins to be released. This is a result of improper digestion of inferior ingredients. These ingredients are hard to break down and then gas forms in the digestive system. Grain-based diets take 12 to 15 hours to digest and absorb compared to the shorter 8 hour time frame for meat based raw diets. Raw based diets offer a significant advantage to eliminate gas build-up in the gut.
