Nitroso compounds present in stool do not induce nitrosamine formation, because stool has neutral pH. [7] [8] Stomach acid catalyzes nitrosamine compound formation and is the main location of the reaction during digestion. [9] The formation process is inhibited when amine concentration is low (e.g. a low-protein diet or no fermented food).

English: In the US, there are more than 163 million dogs and cats that consume, as a significant por-tion of their diet, animal products and therefore potentially constitute a considerable dietary footprint. Here, the energy and animal-derived product consumption of these pets in the US is evaluated for the first time, as are the environmental ...
Cats fed a dry food diet have a better oral health status regarding the presence of dental diseases and tartar accumulation when compared to cats fed a wet food diet. [1] Similarly, when cats are fed only or partially dry commercially prepared cat food as part of their feeding program, there is a reduction in tartar and gingival disease when ...
An alternative possible formation of diazonium and carbenium ions is through the enzymatic reaction of nitrosamines. [ 5 ] Typical accompanying symptoms during the medical cancer treatment via N -nitroso ureas are the impairment of bone marrow (damage of the stem cell compartment), lymphatic tissue and the gastrointestinal tract.
At high doses, it is a "potent hepatotoxin that can cause fibrosis of the liver" in rats. [9] The induction of liver tumors in rats after chronic exposure to low doses is well documented. [ 10 ] Its toxic effects on humans are inferred from animal experiments, but not well-established experimentally.
Rats are a common food item for snakes, both in the wild, and as pets. Adult rat snakes and ball pythons, for example, are fed a diet of mostly rats in captivity. Rats are readily available (live or frozen) to individual snake owners, as well as to pet shops and reptile zoos, from many suppliers.
Senior cats tend to become particularly picky with their food as a reduced ability to taste and smell is associated with age, therefore, palatability is an important factor to consider. [26] Cats have shown a preference in studies for diets with a higher protein content regardless of the flavouring of the food.
