Do all animals eat the same type of food?

Answer 1

Cats: goat's milk, cheese, egg, broths, clam juice, sardines, cat grass sprouts, catnip, baby foods, yogurt, etc. Try spaghetti sauce, creamed vegetable soups, chopped liver, etc.

Dogs: frozen green beans or lima beans, frozen berries, carrots, hard boiled egg, mozzarella cheese sticks, rye crackers with tahini, peanut butter or almond butter, meatballs, natural beef jerky, yogurt, apple wedges, baked potato with sour cream, etc.

Answer:

The above list is partially okay. Be careful with baby foods, soups and ANY sort of sauces. Baby food and soups can have onion or garlic powder which is toxic to cats and dogs. Spaghetti sauce should be avoided as all tomatoes are also toxic to cats, as well as the onion that is bound to be in there also. Goat milk, cheese (in small amounts if tolerated), tuna/oily fish (with the oil drained) is just fine in moderation. Liver is especially good for them.

Also, cats are strict carnivores. They have no need for vegetables, dairy products and most other human foods. They get all their dietary requirement from meat. Dogs get most of their nutrition from meat, but do get an extra boost from eating vegetable matter. Dogs, like cats, should not be fed many human foods as it holds no nutrition for them, and could potentially make them sick.

As far as commercial pet food goes, there is more to it than the "cat" or "dog" label on the front of the packet or tin. Cats have specialised dietary requirements - cats are strictcarnivores. Dogs, while predominantly meat-eaters, can happily scavenge if prey isn't available.

Cats have a higher protein requirement than dogs. Meat is mostly made out of Protein and Fat, and cats use these as their primary energy source.

Taurine: Cats cannot synthesize this compound (unlike dogs and most other mammals), so they must get it straight from meat. Animal tissues such as poultry and fish are natually high in taurine. Not enough taruine in the cat's diet can lead to heart problems and blindness.

Vitamin A is another component cats cannot produce. Dogs can use a compound called "beta carotene" (its what gives fruits and vegatables such as carrots the red-orange colour) and turn that into Vitamin A. Cats cannot. They need to get Vitamin A from meat.

There are also number of fatty acids cats cannot synthesize in their bodies but dogs can, so feeding a cat food specially made for them is the safest option as all the nutrients are included in the food.

Answer 2

no. it depends on the diet and what there allergic to

No, all dogs do not eat the same food. Some dogs need a special diet just for them. Other dogs can eat dry food and then others eat wet.
