Best Answer

It is advisable to feed the dog food specially designed for that species. Cat food usually has far more protein and extra nutrients than dog food, and it can be very addictive for the dog. This can put the dog off its original dog food. But some dogs can eat cats food and can still eat its own food, if you give the dog cats food like 2 times a week.

It's all part of the grand design of the food chain: the bigger fish eats the smaller fish. The dog eats the cat. The cat eats the mouse. The mouse eats the grain. The grain eats nutrients from the soil. The soil is rich in nutrients because of a decomposing dog. Or cat. Or mouse, even. Thus, we can conclude: the worm is on top of them all in the food chain !

Will it hurt a min pin to eat cat food?

I think dogs can eat cat food but cats cannot eat dog food, they must have cat food. The reason for this is that cats are unable to make all the vitamins they need and have to be given it in their food, dogs can. Dogs can be vegetarian, cats cannot because of this. Dog food will not harm a cat, but they cannot live on it. Cat food wont hurt a dog but you don't want to give a dog cat food all of the time.dog and cats have different nutrients. It won't hurt him at all, but it shouldn't be encouraged. If you have a dog and a cat, place the cat food on a worktop or garden wall where the cat can climb up but the dog can't get at it. Answer Yes it can cat food has fish oil in it which will cause your dog to lose its hair if he eats cat food all the time.
