The domestic dog (facultative carnivore) and the domestic cat (obligate carnivore) have evolved differentially in their digestive tract, nutrition, metabolism, chemical sensing, and feeding behavior. These animals have been human companions for at least 12,000 and 9,000 years, respectively, and continue to contribute to the mental health and well-being of children, adolescents, and adults. Both dogs and cats have become increasingly popular in many countries and worldwide over the past decades. Comprehensive update about how the animals utilize dietary nutrients for optimum growth, development, and health is beneficial for their owners, as well as students and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Characteristics of Nutrition and Metabolism in Dogs and Cats is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guoyao Wu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303154191X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031541919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Guoyao Wu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45482810835199,"sku":"9783031541919","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_facdcadc-533c-41c9-a2be-241a9668a90b.jpg?v=1715999556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nutrition-and-metabolism-of-dogs-guoyao-wu-9783031541919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
