When people are lonely, they prefer to keep a cat or dog to accompany them. Every time they see their little cat or dog selling cute and stupid, they will feel more comfortable. Many people want to have both a cat and a dog, but they are afraid that they will not get along well with each other, and they are afraid that they don’t have so much time to take care of two small animals. In the process of raising, sometimes dog food is easy to be insufficient. At this time, some people always like to feed dogs with some cat food. Can dogs eat cat food?

In fact, it’s OK. Just try not to give dogs cat food, because cats and dogs have different nutritional needs in food. There are no carbohydrates in cat food that dogs need. Theoretically, cats have higher requirements for meat, so cat food contains a lot of protein. In addition to the different demand content of protein, cats also need a special amino acid, namely taurine, to promote the function of night vision, which dogs don’t need. If the dog is fed cat food for a long time, it is easy to lead to excessive taurine and poisoning.

Unlike dogs, cats need higher carbohydrates, but there is no such proportion and composition in cat food. And cats are easier to digest fat, which is their main source of energy, so the fat content in cat food is relatively high, while dogs don’t need food with too much fat. In addition, in order to prevent some cats from suffering from urinary stones, the acidity in cat food is relatively high. If it is eaten for dogs, it is easy to affect the bone development of dogs.

In addition, considering the economy, it is not cost-effective to feed dogs with cat food, because most cat food is packaged in small packages, so the price will be very high. And the heat in cat food is higher than that in dog food, so it is not suitable for feeding dogs with cat food. With dog food, why do you have to use cat food? Just let cat food and dog food play their own role. There’s no need to do anything important.
