They have smaller digestive tracts and a lot of acid in their stomachs making it the perfect system suitable to breaking down meat. For both these reasons, they are predominantly carnivores. Chicken makes an excellent substitute for red meats. A great source of protein, chicken has been linked to a variety of health benefits:
Stronger Bones and Muscles
Chicken's lean protein is a fantastic source of amino acids. Amino acids are used by our pets to create muscular tissue, which is especially crucial as they age. According to studies, increased protein consumption has been linked to maintaining bone mineral density. Consuming chicken can lower your pet's chances of injuries and diseases like osteoporosis by promoting healthier bones and stronger muscles.
Weight Management and Heart Health
Meals high in protein can help pets feel satiated over longer periods of time, which also supports healthier weight management. Optimum weight levels reduces heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and lipid levels. Chicken, which is a protein-rich food, can assist with weight management and lower the risk of heart disease. It also provides essential minerals and acids to your dog.
