Hello Pawrents! Hum Indians bahut dil se apne pets ko palte hain. Humari sabse badi koshish hoti hai ki hum apne dog ko woh sab dein jo use khush aur healthy rakhe. Aksar, hum bade-buzurgon ki purani baatein ya aam chalan (common practices) ko follow karte hain: “Thoda doodh de do, haddiyan mazboot hongi,” ya “Roti khaane se pet bhara rehta hai.”
Lekin kya aap jaante hain ki yeh aam chalan ya food myths aapke dog ki health ke liye sabse bade khatre (dangers) ho sakte hain?
Dog food se jude yeh galat vichaar (misconceptions) seedhe aapke dog ki health, skin, aur lambi umar par asar daalte hain. Isliye, yeh content YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) category mein aata hai, jahan Visheshagya ki Raaye (Expertise) aur Bharosa (Trust) sabse zaroori hai.
Is 1600-shabd ki guide mein, hum 10 sabse bade aur common Indian dog food myths ko todenge, aur unki jagah Vet-approved scientific facts se aapko bharosemand jankari denge.
Myth Cluster 1: Ghar Ka Khana Aur Poshan Ki Kami (Deficiency)
Myth 1: Dogs Ko Doodh Dene Se Haddiyan Mazboot Hoti Hain.
Sachchai: Yeh sabse bada aur sabse khatarnak myth hai. Zyaadatar adult dogs mein Lactose Intolerance hoti hai. Iska matlab hai ki woh doodh mein maujood lactose sugar ko theek se digest nahi kar paate.
Khatra: Doodh peene se severe diarrhea, vomiting, gas, aur stomach pain ho sakta hai. Lambe samay tak doodh dena unke digestive system ko kamzor kar sakta hai.
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Calcium ke liye doodh ki jagah Vet-recommended Calcium supplements ya thoda sa Plain, Unsweetened Curd (Dahi) den. Dahi mein probiotics hote hain jo digestion mein madad karte hain.

Myth 2: Dog Ko Roti (Chapati) Khilana Uski Diet Ka Main Part Hai.
Sachchai: Roti, jo gehoon (wheat) ya maide se banti hai, dogs ke liye ek Empty Filler hai. Ismein zaroori protein aur fat ki matra bahut kam hoti hai.
Khatra: Roti se dog ka pet toh bhar jaata hai, lekin usmein Protein deficiency aur Obesity (motapa) aane lagta hai. Kai dogs ko gehoon se skin allergies bhi ho jaati hain.
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Agar aap ghar ka khana dena chahte hain, toh Roti ki jagah Brown Rice, Sweet Potato, ya Quinoa jaise complex aur high-fiber carbs ko Paneer ya Daal ke saath balance karein.

Myth 3: Non-Veg Dogs Ko Veg Khana Khilana Galat Hai.
Sachchai: Dogs Omnivores hote hain. Woh veg aur non-veg dono kha sakte hain, agar unki diet nutritionally balanced ho.
Khatra: Agar aap sirf veg khana de rahe hain aur usmein mandatory supplements (Jaise B12 aur Calcium) nahi jod rahe hain, toh aapka dog beemar padega. Kami veg ya non-veg mein nahi, balki balance mein hai.
7 Visheshagya Ki Salah: Home-cooked veg diet ke liye Vet-approved supplements ka istemal zaroori hai. (Jaisa ki humne Article 1 mein detail mein bataya hai).
Myth Cluster 2: Khilane Ke Tarike Aur Suraksha (Safety)
Myth 4: Dogs Ko Khane Mein Salt (Namak) Aur Masala (Spices) Chahiye Hote Hain, Kyunki Taste Aana Chahiye.
Sachchai: Dogs ko insaan ki tarah taste ki zaroorat nahi hoti. Woh zyadatar smell (soonghkar) khana pasand karte hain.
Khatra: Zyada Namak unki kidneys (gurde) par stress daalta hai aur high blood pressure ka karan ban sakta hai. Masale, Adrak, aur Mirch unke pet aur digestive tract ko severe damage pahuncha sakte hain.
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Dogs ke liye khana hamesha plain, boiled, aur masale-namak-free hona chahiye. Aap taste ke liye thoda sa haldi (turmeric) ya dhania patta add kar sakte hain, jo safe hain.
Myth 5: Bachaa Hua Khana (Leftovers) Waste Nahi Hona Chahiye.
Sachchai: Aapka bacha hua khana, khaaskar Oil, Masala, Pyaz, aur Lahsun waala khana, dogs ke liye Toxic (zehreela) ho sakta hai.
Khatra: Pyaz (Onion) aur Lahsun (Garlic) dogs ke red blood cells (RBCs) ko damage karte hain, jisse Anemia (khoon ki kami) ho sakti hai.
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Agar aap ghar ka khana dena chahte hain, toh unke liye alag se unki zaroorat ke hisaab se khana banayein.
Myth Cluster 3: Health Aur Supplements Se Jude Galat Vichaar
Myth 6: Agar Dog Dry Kibble Khata Hai, Toh Use Supplements Ki Zaroorat Nahi Hai.
Sachchai: Zyaadatar commercial dry kibble (jaise Pedigree ya Drools ke base variants) basic nutritional needs poori karte hain, lekin woh Optimal Health ke liye sufficient nahi hote.
Khatra: Indian climate mein Omega-3 (Fish Oil) ki kami se skin dull ho jaati hai, aur Joint problems (Jodo ka dard) jaldi shuru ho jaata hai (khaaskar Labradors mein).
8 Visheshagya Ki Salah: Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil) aur Joint supplements har dog ki diet ka hissa hone chahiye, bhale hi woh high-quality kibble kha rahe hon.
Myth 7: Bachon Wala Food (Puppy Food) Bade Dogs (Adults) Ko Bhi De Sakte Hain.
Sachchai: Puppy food mein calories, protein, aur calcium ki matra bahut zyada hoti hai, jo unke tez growth rate ke liye zaroori hai.
Khatra: Adult dog ko puppy food dene se Obesity (motapa) aur Excessive Calcium ki wajah se joint problems ho sakte hain, khaaskar large breeds mein.
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Jab dog 12 se 18 mahine ka ho jaaye, toh use turant Adult Formula par shift kar dena chahiye.
Myth 8: Khana Garam Hona Chahiye, Kyunki Dog Ko Thanda Khana Pasand Nahi Aata.
Sachchai: Dogs ko khana room temperature (kamre ke taapmaan) par hi pasand aata hai.
Khatra: Garam ya ubla hua khana dene se unka muh (mouth) aur food pipe jal sakta hai, jisse unhein serious internal injury ho sakti hai.
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Cooked food hamesha fully cool hone ke baad hi serve karein.
Myth Cluster 4: Fruit Aur Sweets Ke Confusion
Myth 9: Dogs Ko Mithai (Sweets) Ya Cheeni Waale Treats Dene Se Pyaar Badhta Hai.
Sachchai: Mithai dena unhein sirf nuksaan pahunchata hai.
Khatra: Zyada sugar se Diabetes, Obesity, aur Dental problems (daanton ki samasya) hoti hai. Sabse bada khatra hai Chocolate (jo toxic hai) aur Xylitol (jo sugar-free items mein hota hai, aur zehreela hai).
Visheshagya Ki Salah: Agar aap unhein treat dena chahte hain, toh Carrots, Apple slices (seeds nikal kar), ya Vet-approved dental chews ka istemal karein.
Myth 10: Dogs Ko Bones Chabaane Ke Liye Dene Chahiye, Kyunki Yeh Unke Daant Saaf Rakhte Hain.
Sachchai: Kachhi badi haddiyan (raw bones) chabaane ke liye theek ho sakti hain, lekin pakki hui haddiyan (cooked bones) hamesha khatarnak hoti hain.
Khatra: Cooked bones splinter (chotey-chotey tukdon mein toot) jaate hain. Yeh tukde dog ke gale, pet, ya intestines (aant) mein fas sakte hain, jisse serious internal injury ho sakti hai. Yeh ek life-threatening emergency ho sakti hai.
3 Visheshagya Ki Salah: Bones ki jagah, high-quality rubber chew toys ya Vet-approved dental bones ka istemal karein.
Mera Anubhav: Sachchai Ko Maanna
Mera Anubhav: Jab mera pehla dog tha, toh maine bhi usse bachpan mein pyaar se doodh aur roti di thi. Kuch hi mahino mein uski skin par rashes aane lage aur uske paachan (digestion) mein hamesha gadbadi rehti thi. Vet se milne par pata chala ki yeh sab uske "Ghar Ke Khane" ki wajah se tha. Jab humne uski diet ko turant balanced kibble aur supplements par shift kiya, toh yeh saari problems theek ho gayi. Anubhav yahi sikhata hai ki apni purani aadat ki jagah science aur Vet ki advice ko follow karna chahiye.
