Your pet will begin to have serious digestive problems.

It is important to understand that carnivorous cats have a very difficult time digesting plant foods, and dog food contains a lot of the corresponding components.

The cat's diet will contain too many carbohydrates. And this is very dangerous for the pet's health.
