May 13, 2006 - At StirlingsChoice.com they know the importance of Dog Poop. It must be important because we talk about it, report it to the vet, complain about cleaning it up in the yard and accidents in the house and we always hope to see less of it.
We all know the real importance of poop is a measure of our dog’s overall health. Stool is the end product of digestion and assimilation of nutrients for the body. Food such as raw bones are ripped, chewed, swallowed then mixed with digestive enzymes. As this processed food passes through the intestine, digested nutrients pass through the intestinal wall, enter the blood stream to nourish and repair cells, organs and nerves. Food that is not assimilated moves through the intestine and is passed from the body as waste.
Our interest is in the amount and consistency of that waste. When cleaning up the yard and large mounds fill the scooper, it raises questions about nourishment your dog is actually receiving from his food. When the size of his stool is the same size as what went into his food bowl, something is wrong. When your dog eats dry food, it’s high grain content swells in his stomach and intestine. Much of this dry food is never completely digested and therefore not made available as usable nutrients. The large mostly poorly digested bulk of original dry dog food is now deposited on the lawn (or wherever) as a large rather smelly mass (or mess).
The bulk and foul odor are direct indicators that digestion has not been as complete nor as beneficial as expected from a premium dry dog food. Too little of the "food" was a actually used for tissue growth and repair, cheating your dog of essential nutrients. When your dog eats a raw diet there is no grain to ferment, swell and delay passage from the intestine. When grain, cooked and rendered proteins and chemicals are present in the intestine, few nutrients are available to be absorbed for use. For more information see us at http://www.stirlingschoice.com
