Fiber is an essential nutrient for dogs and can be added to their diet in various ways. It plays a crucial role in maintaining regular bowel movements and firm stools by absorbing water and providing bulk. Additionally, fiber can promote good gut health by creating an unsuitable environment for harmful bacteria to grow.
There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber can be broken down and utilized by the body, while insoluble fiber cannot be digested.
Too much soluble fiber can cause flatulence and diarrhea, while excessive insoluble fiber can hinder nutrient absorption and lead to weight loss, poor coat quality, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Commercial dog food sources fiber from grains like rice and corn, as well as soybeans, beet pulp, and peanut hulls.
