Dogs possess the ability to obtain essential nutrients, established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), from both animal- and plant-based ingredients. There has been a recent increase in the popularity of diets that limit or completely exclude certain plant-based ingredients. Examples of these diets include 'ancestral' or 'evolutionary' diets, raw meat-based diets and grain-free diets. As compared to animal sources, plant-derived ingredients (including vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds) provide many non-essential phytonutrients with some data suggesting they confer health benefits. This review aims to assess the strength of current evidence on the relationship between the consumption of plant-based foods and phytonutrients (such as plant-derived carotenoids, polyphenols and phytosterols) and biomarkers of health and diseases (such as body weight/condition, gastrointestinal health, immune health, cardiovascular health, visual function and cognitive function) from clinical trials and epidemiological studies. This review highlights the potential nutritional and health benefits of including plant-based ingredients as a part of balanced canine diets. We also highlight current research gaps in existing studies and provide future research directions to inform the impact of incorporating plant-based ingredients in commercial or home-prepared diets.
狗能够从动物和植物成分中获得美国饲料管理协会（AAFCO）规定的必需营养物质。最近，限制或完全排除某些植物成分的饮食越来越受欢迎。这些饮食的例子包括“祖先”或“进化”饮食、生肉饮食和无谷物饮食。与动物来源相比，植物来源的成分（包括蔬菜、水果、谷物、豆类、坚果和种子）提供了许多非必需的植物营养素，一些数据表明它们具有健康益处。本综述旨在评估临床研究和流行病学研究中关于食用植物性食物和植物营养素（如植物源性类胡萝卜素、多酚和植物固醇）与健康和疾病生物标志物（如体重/状况、胃肠道健康、免疫健康、心血管健康、视觉功能和认知功能）之间关系的现有证据的强度。本综述强调了将植物性成分作为平衡犬类饮食的一部分的潜在营养和健康益处。我们还强调了现有研究中的当前研究差距，并提供了未来的研究方向，以告知在商业或家庭准备的饮食中加入植物性成分的影响。
