Cavandra Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have never seen this. However I see excessive Carbs cause hot skin & skin erruptions, yeast infections.......rice, corn, grains............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Cannot answer that but I have been advised that oats warm the blood so you should be cautious of feeding porridge to dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have never seen this. However I see excessive Carbs cause hot skin & skin erruptions, yeast infections.......rice, corn, grains............. Yes, RICE is known to be a 'heating' food - even in humans - any chinese herbalist will tell you this. Mandarins are another....... Steer clear of high carb foods.

Andanin Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 It could have something to do with it taking more energy to break down proteins than carbs, and the excess heat from this reaction is what causes it. I wouldn't have thought it would produce excessive heat though...? Would have thought a high protein (but otherwise balanced) diet would be ideal for an active dog, much the same way it is for very active humans!

jenkie99 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 We have found with our bulldogs that if we feed anything but chciken it heats up the blood and turns the coat a stain colour paticually under the arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
