Whether cats will be fine if they eat dog food depends on how much the cat eats. If a cat only eats a small amount of dog food occasionally, it will generally not have a big impact on the body, but if it is fed a large amount for a long time, it is prone to malnutrition. Because dogs are omnivores, the nutrients in dog food cannot supplement the needs of cats in time. Therefore, it is recommended that cat owners feed their cats special cat food, and it is best not to feed dog food. When cats and dogs are mixed, be careful not to confuse the two feeds.

What to do if a cat eats dog food:

1. If you just ate a little bit of dog food and there are no abnormalities, there is no need to worry.

2. If it causes vomiting or diarrhea, then deprive it of food and water for about 6 hours, and then feed it a little probiotics, and it will generally recover slowly.

3. However, if the cat is relatively small and often suffers from diarrhea, it may cause some diseases, such as acute gastroenteritis, parvovirus and other infectious diseases. Pancreatitis etc.

4. Observe whether the cat has vomiting or diarrhea. If it occurs, stop eating and drinking, and feed probiotics. If it gets better later, don’t worry too much;

5. If it doesn’t get better, even If you have poor mental appetite, it is best to take your pet to a pet hospital for treatment.
