Dog food is food specifically formulated and intended for consumption
by dogs and other related canines. Dogs are considered to be omnivores
with a carnivorous bias. They have the sharp, pointed teeth and
shorter gastrointestinal tracts of carnivores, better suited for the
consumption of meat than of vegetable substances, yet also have 10
genes that are responsible for starch and glucose digestion, as well
as the ability to produce amylase, an enzyme that functions to break
down carbohydrates into simple sugars - something that carnivores
lack. Dogs evolved the ability living alongside humans in agricultural
societies, as they managed on scrap leftovers from humans.Dogs have
managed to adapt over thousands of years to survive on the meat and
non-meat scraps and leftovers of human existence and thrive on a
variety of foods, with studies suggesting dogs' ability to digest
carbohydrates easily may be a key difference between dogs and
wolves.In the United States alone, the dog food market is expected to
reach $23.3 billion by 2022.Prior to being domesticated, dogs, being
canines, fended for themselves and survived on a carnivorous diet.
After adapting them for protection, work, and companionship, people
began to care at least in part for their nutritional needs. The
historic record of this changing approach dates back at least 2,000
years. Dog food Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
