A new dog study compared whole grain wheat, oats and rye in healthy adult dogs. These ingredients are commonly used in dry foods.
Despite oats and rye often being seen as โhealthierโ in humans, that did not really translate to dogs. Wheat performed just as well, and sometimes better, for glucose/fat metabolism markers.
๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐:
๐ 18 healthy adult dogs
๐Fed complete extruded diets with 25% whole grain wheat, oats or rye
๐ Each diet was fed for 4 weeks
๐ Oats led to higher blood glucose, triglycerides and GLP-1 compared with wheat
๐ Rye produced the highest fasting insulin
Overall, wheat was not inferior and may be the better grain in this context.
