Your Cat Isn’t a Dog, so Don’t Feed Him Dog Food

Sounds pretty basic, right? Yet many owners are under the misconception that dog and cat foods are interchangeable. How many times have you seen the cat with his nose in Fido’s food or the dog pushing the kitty out of the way to steal a few of his tasty morsels? This practice, unfortunately, can cause serious health complications for both pets.

If your cat eats dog food, he’s at serious risk of developing health problems because of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. On the other hand, a dog who is allowed to eat cat food will be consuming far more protein than he requires, which can cause health problems for him. Additionally, the higher fat content in cat food can lead to obesity in your dog. I know it’s difficult to play referee at mealtime to make sure everyone keeps their nose in their own bowl, but the consequences of not monitoring it are far too great. Unfortunately for dogs, the high fat content in cat food tends to make it taste more appealing, so once Fido gets a taste of Fluffy’s dinner, he’ll become even more determined to switch the bowls when you’re not looking.
