I really have been trying to not get too technical but my brain just doesn’t work that way. I’ve recently been doing a nice review of the digestive system and thought it might be useful to just write it all down. So here is the long version of basic canine digestion. I hope in the future to break this down into pieces and go into more detail about each piece and associated diseases. It always important to start with how the system does work as opposed to constantly looking at a broken system. If you are like me, then as you read this light bulbs come on your head and that lead you to further research and wondering about your own personal pet’s health. You start asking questions like “I wonder if this could be why my dog has this reaction?”. After a while you just become a paranoid dog mom that spends more time fretting over your dogs (or cats!) than you do any other family member. Don’t worry, you’re not the only out there. After all, they do completely rely on us for their health and well-being. Anyway, here is my take and research on the digestive system of Canis familiaris. Good luck!

About meMy life has gone to the dogs. I've worked in shelters, dog daycares, veterinary offices and local pet food retailers. I've seen all aspects of the pet world and I've got a theme that keeps popping up. Let's get back to basics, keep it simple. In my mind, it all starts with good food and using what nature has to offer. Archives
