2 Why Carbohydrate-Dependency Frames Fail for Dogs · 2.1 Exogenous Carbohydrate Dependency
2.1 Exogenous Carbohydrate Dependency
Canine Fat-Based Metabolism
This page is structured as definition, control variables, causal chain, observable outputs, and boundary, and serves as a canonical definition node in Canine FBM.
Exogenous Carbohydrate Dependency is a structural node in Canine FBM, not a feeding label.
Repeated exogenous carbohydrate input can maintain a carbohydrate-scheduling axis in dogs.
Input frequency affects occupancy density and recovery windows.
Input magnitude affects post-meal volatility amplitude.
Structural continuity determines whether fatty-acid contribution can rise.
As input architecture and load conditions change, Exogenous Carbohydrate Dependency shifts long-term scheduling pathways.
When variables converge, Canine FBM is more likely to keep higher fatty-acid contribution, controlled protein energy pressure, and stable body condition.
Lower dependency often aligns with steadier appetite and stool rhythm.
Persistently high dependency more often shows unstable outputs.
This page does not frame “any carbohydrate” as a harmful conclusion.
The judgment point is long-term dependency architecture, not single exposure.
