Moroccan soup for dogs
Is your furry friend struggling with digestive problems or a bacterial intestinal disease and you want to help them with the right food? Moro soup, also known as Moro soup, is not only helpful for humans with digestive problems! We'll show you how to prepare Moro soup correctly, how much you can feed and how it works.
Moro soup for dogs: The basic recipe
Ingredients:
500 g carrots
1 liter of water
1 teaspoon of salt
Preparation:
First peel and chop the carrots. Bring the water to the boil and cook the carrot pieces in it for 1.5 - 2 hours. Then puree the soup and add the salt. The consistency should be similar to that of buttermilk. If the moro soup is too thick, simply add some boiled water. The Moros soup for your furry friend is ready!
5 steps with the Thermomix
Using the same ingredients as for the basic recipe, the Moros soup can also be prepared in the Thermomix:
- Peel the carrots and cut them into pieces approx. 4 cm pieces
- Place the carrots in the mixing bowl and chop for 5 seconds on speed 5
- Add the water, close the mixing bowl, insert the measuring beaker and cook the soup for 75 minutes at 100 °C on speed 2
- Add the salt
- If there are still large pieces, you can puree the soup again for 30 seconds at level 7
The fixed recipe in the pressure cooker
If you have a pressure cooker, it is a good idea to prepare the Moroccan soup in it. To do this, peel the 500 g of carrots and cut them into large pieces. Cook the carrots in a liter of water in a pressure cooker for at least half an hour. Then add a teaspoon of salt and voilà, the Moro soup is ready!
How long and in what quantity do dogs tolerate carrot soup?
As your dog's digestive tract may be under strain, it's a good idea to start feeding it slowly and in small portions. By dividing the soup into around four to five small meals per day, you can prevent further stomach and intestinal problems from occurring if the soup is consumed too quickly.
As a rule of thumb: around 30 ml per body weight per day.
If your four-legged friend accepts the soup well, you can gradually increase the amount per meal and add rice over the next few days. As soon as the bowel movements are normal again, you can slowly stop the soup and switch back to normal dog food.
How Moro soup works for dogs: The remedy for vomiting and diarrhea
When carrots are cooked extensively, so-called oligosaccharides are formed. These carbohydrates are very similar to certain receptors on the intestinal wall. This is why some bacteria and viruses bind to oligosaccharides instead of the intestinal wall. When the moro soup is eliminated, viruses and bacteria are also removed from the intestine and thus excreted more quickly with the food pulp.
Carrots generally contain ingredients such as fiber, which can strengthen the good intestinal bacteria. The added teaspoon of salt can also help to restore the electrolyte balance.
Carrot soup as a remedy for Giardia
Unfortunately, it has not been proven that Moros carrot soup is effective against Giardia infestation. There is no convincing evidence that the oligosaccharides have an effect on Giardia. Nevertheless, Moro's soup can have a supportive effect in the case of a giardia infestation. Thanks to the ingredients it contains and the additional supply of water, the soup maintains the intestinal flora and ensures that the furry friend does not lose too much water. Nevertheless, a veterinary practice should be consulted for examination and treatment of a giardia infestation or if this is suspected. The carrot as a vegetable is therefore a suitable food for your four-legged friend.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
At the beginning of the 20th century, pediatrician Ernst Moro was looking for a home remedy for diarrhea. At a time when antibiotics had not yet been invented, diarrhea was a common cause of death in children. In 1908, he succeeded in minimizing these deaths at the Heidelberg Children's Hospital with the help of carrot soup. It was not until many years after Ernst Moro's death that researchers discovered that Moro's carrot soup could disrupt the docking processes of viruses and bacteria.
Raw carrots contain no oligosaccharides and therefore have little effect against bacterial diarrhea. Nevertheless, they strengthen the immune system. Unpeeled carrots in particular contain fiber, which can stimulate the metabolism. This makes carrots a popular ingredient in vegan dog food!
