Dog food has a high cereal (grain) content. So you could feed it to a horse in a pinch. Dog food is more expensive than alfalfa or the rolled oats that form a horse's common feed stock. So it doesn't make sense to feed dog food to a horse except in unusual circumstances. A steady diet of dog food would likely cause health problems in a horse, just as a diet of nothing but milk would eventually kill a person.
