Dogs are not vegetarian 狗不應是吃素的

Vegetarian diets for dogs are gaining popularity, unfortunately.  Dogs are not meant to be vegetarian, from their teeth (sharp teeth), stomach acid (PH 1-2; human is PH-5), their digestive tract (short), dogs are not designed to be a vegetarian.  Dogs might be able to survive with vegetarian diet with proper supplement support but it is not optimal.   Again, NRC Recommended 0% of carbohydrates.

很遺憾素食越來越受狗主歡迎. 狗不是素食者，從他們的牙齒(鋒利的)，胃酸(PH值1-2; 人胃PH啲PH值係5), 其消化道(短)，狗跟本不是設計成素食者的.  狗可能能夠生存於素食飲食如有適當的補充品支持，但不是最佳的.  再次，NRC推薦0％的碳水化合物。

A recent study show some problems with vegetarian diets:
最近的一項研究表明素食的一些問題：

Poo Poo

因為季節(夏季)問題, 近日比較多狗隻有腸胃不適, 而我近日經常在电話裏談論狗狗啲糞便形狀. 但都學得比較難表達所以就决定寫個 Poo Poo blog. 

Type 1 係便秘.  Type 3 係好便便及 Type 2 都好好及可幫清肛門線但最好唔係長時間 ... 其餘啲便便就唔正常.  你隻狗係邊 Type.  

Because of the season, there are more dogs having intestinal issues these days.  And, I have been talking much on the phone about the consistency of poo and it is not easy to explain what I think is okay and not okay so I decided to write a Poo Poo blog. 

Type 1 is constipation.  Type 3 is good poo and Type 2 is good too as it helps to empty out anal gland sacs ... for the rest of the types, your dogs might be having digestive issues.
