Does it harm a dog if it eats ferret pellets?

Answer 1

Well, honey, let me tell you straight - dogs eating ferret pellets won't kill them, but it sure ain't good for their health. Ferret food is specially formulated for those stinky little weasels, not our furry best friends. If Fido's been chowing down on some ferret chow, keep an eye out for tummy troubles and switch him back to his own doggy grub ASAP.

Answer 2

Changing any pets food might cause sickness, but specifically I don't ferret food would unless you feed it to your dog continuously. Ferret food is nutritionally made for ferrets only, which is different from dogs nutritional needs.

Very high protein food (like high-end cat food) can and will cause kidney damage in your pooch. Ferret food, not so much, as it's not the same but does contain a lot of meat products as does quality dog food.

However, it can certainly make the pooch feel terrible, just like suddenly changing dog food. There is a process to switch foods, and as above, optimum ferret diet is not the same as an optimum dog diet.

In a few words, "Yes, it can make your dog sick." Monitor his fluid and normal food intake. Keep him away from the ferret food. If all doesn't return to normal in 24-36 hours, take him/her in to your primary Vet.
