What happens when dog eats kitten?

Answer 1

I doubt it would hurt the dog, if it only ate it once. But you can't feed a dog kitten food as a regular diet, instead of dog food. For one thing, dogs and cats have different nutritional requirements. Cats are carnivores, while dogs are omnivores, so cat food is too high in protein for a dog. Also, kitten food has twice as many calories as regular cat food, so the dog would also get very fat.

Answer 2

Feeding a kitten dog food is no ideal at all! Cats have far more nutritional needs than a dog and dog food doesn't contain these essential nutrients such as taurine. A small amount of dog food will not harm the kitten, but this must NEVER consist as part of the kitten's daily diet.

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. Here are a few things that are present in cat food that are not in dog food:

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 4

The kitten will die, obviusly.
