Why we define cats and dogs as carnivores?

WHY CATS AND DOGS ARE CONSIDERED CARNIVORES?
Dogs and cats evolution has been similar to that of other predators, that's why their anatomy is built for a nutrition based on meat. As their ancestors, our dogs and cats, despite they adapted their digestive system to their preys, prefer a meat-based nutrition. This concept is clear in a physiologic and anatomic point of view by these points:

1. NO SALIVARY AMYLASE
This lack makes pancreas overwork because in charge of the total digestion of carbohydrates. 

2. SHORT AND SIMPLE INTESTINES
thanks to the highly acidic pH of the stomach fats and proteins are easily and quickly digestible in a short intestinal tract.

3. TEETH AND JAW CONFORMATION
A large mouth opening to swallow big chunks. Short and sharp teeth perfect to rip flesh. 

4. GLUCONEOGENESIS
Cats don't use carbohydrates as a primary energy source, but proteins and fats.

5. INSULIN RESPONSE
Food rich in carbohydrates cause a higher insulin response and lead to the storage of glucose excess in body fat form. This process may lead to obesity.
