Promoting Health and Well-Being: The Vital Role of Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

Alexandra Rojano

Dry food is a commonly fed diet to dogs worldwide. However, recent studies have suggested that it may have an impact on their oxidative/ antioxidant profile. This article explores the research on how dry food affects the oxidative/antioxidant profile of dogs and discusses ways to mitigate any negative effects. Dry food contains a variety of ingredients that can affect the oxidative/antioxidant profile of dogs. For example, the processing of dry food can lead to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which can cause oxidative stress. Additionally, some dry foods may be low in antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, which can further exacerbate oxidative damage. Understanding the impact of dry food on the oxidative/antioxidant profile of dogs is important for maintaining their health and preventing chronic diseases.
