The peaceful coexistence of a dog and a cat under one roof is not yet the norm, but it has long been no exception.
The only question that arises is: is it possible to feed pets the same food?
In order to get an answer to this question, you need to understand that four-legged animals are, in general, different creatures.
They have their own nutritional needs and contraindications.
For example, cats need animal protein and fat in large quantities, but mainly taurine and arachidonic acid.
Dogs are omnivores and digest carbohydrates well, which means they don't need as much protein as cats.
What to do with food
So, if we are talking about healthy pets and they are not particularly picky, then for some time (for example, when the food has run out and there is no opportunity to buy it) the pets can eat from the same pot.
Within 2-3 days of such feeding, no harm will occur, but diarrhea and other minor problems cannot be ruled out.
And if you transfer your pets to a permanent common diet, serious consequences cannot be avoided.
