New DogRisk study out! π§ͺπΎ
Our new study compared energy metabolism biomarkers in 46 Staffordshire Bull Terriers fed either a kibble or a raw food diet over 4.5 months. πΆπ
βFat-rich diets may promote healthier metabolism, while carb-heavy diets can lead to changes linked to metabolic risk,β says the study's lead researcher Dr. Sarah Holm. β¨
Key findings:
-Dogs on kibble (high carbs) showed increased blood sugar, blood lipids, and bodyweight.
-Dogs on raw food (high fat, low/no carbs) showed decreased blood sugar, blood lipids, and insulin resistance markers.
-Raw-fed dogs had higher levels of ketones and relied more on fat for energy.
This research also shows that dogs could help us understand human metabolism β€οΈπΎ
