Cat lovers sometimes ask themselves: what will happen if you feed a cat dog food? Especially if the pet itself does not object to such a menu.
But how safe is it in terms of health? Cats will eat the food willingly, but you shouldn't do it, and there are reasons for that.
The fact is that dog food differs in composition from cat food in terms of the content of proteins, vitamins and other nutrients.
For example, dogs do not need as much animal protein as cats.
Cats need taurine, without it animals begin to have problems with digestion, vision, heart, etc.
There are similar controversies regarding vitamin A, niacin, and other nutrients.
Is it possible or not?
If you feed your cat once, nothing bad will happen. But when the diet becomes systematic, your cat will soon start having health problems.
It is also worth considering that not all cats will eat canned dog food or chew dry food.
To maintain your pet's health, you need to choose food that contains meat.
Other fillers, with the exception of vitamins and nutrients, should be kept to a minimum.
