Whois & Analysis for nudgesdogtreats.com

Dog food refers to food specifically intended for consumption by dogs.

Like all carnivores, dogs have sharp, pointed teeth, and have short gastrointestinal tracts better suited for the consumption of meat.

In spite of this natural carnivorous design, dogs have still managed to adapt over thousands of years to survive on the meat and non-meat scraps and leftovers of human existence and thrive on a variety of foods.

Flavor (or flavour; see spelling differences) is the sensory impression of food or other substance, and is determined primarily by the chemical senses of taste and smell.

The "trigeminal senses", which detect chemical irritants in the mouth and throat, as well as temperature and texture, are also important to the overall gestalt of flavor perception.

The flavor of the food, as such, can be altered with natural or artificial flavorants which affect these senses.

Jerky is lean meat that has been trimmed of fat, cut into strips, and then dried to prevent spoilage.

Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt, to prevent bacteria from developing on the meat before sufficient moisture has been removed.

The word "jerky" is derived from the Quechua word ch'arki which means "dried, salted meat".

All that is needed to produce basic "jerky" is a low-temperature drying method, and salt to inhibit bacterial growth.

Baking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones.

The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked.

Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their centre.

As heat travels through it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre".

Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other.

Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit.
