Is it bad for cats to eat dog food?
If the cat eats dog food instead of cat food, then yes, dog food can seriously malnourish the cat after a period of time. 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 cat, but this must NEVER consist as part of cat's daily diet.
Cats need a diet consisting of a high meat content - probably more so than dogs. Meat is mostly made out of proteins and fats, 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 naturally high in taurine. If there is 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 vegetables such as carrots the red-orange color) 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.

Fipronil is an insecticide which disrupts insects central nervous systems, and is the portion which kills adult insects. Methoprene is an insecticide which disrupts the reproductive process, preventing larvae from growing into adults. The reason for the variation between the formulas is not clear, and there is not sufficient unbiased and non-anecdotal data to say what effects such slight mis-dosing can cause to the pets.
What dog food do dogs prefer and why?
Dog's have more taste buds for carbohydrates (sugars). This does not mean that they can only eat breads and sugars to survive. A dog's "favorite" food is one that is well balanced with all of the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay strong and healthy. Animal diets are very under-rated. As opposed to humans, who can go out and eat something, say, salty if they want (a subconscious response to low sodium?) or a burger (protein?) dogs get only what you feed them. This, along with the simplicity for owners, is the reason why great products like Hill's Science Diet (and unfortunately many very poor products like 'Ol Roy) have multiple nutrients and minerals to balance the needs of your dog. It also reflects how many stray animals that eat only left overs from trash cans typically live to about half of their life expectancy.
What are the healthiest and unhealthiest ingredients to look for in a dry dog food?
- Look for dog foods without corn meal or chicken/beef by-products. Both are hard to digest and result in less nutrition, and more pooping. Also, a lot of dogs tend to have allergies to dyes, so preferably buy foods that have little or no dyes.
- Blue Buffalo,Wellness (only problem with Wellness is that a low-grade dog food manufacturer is buying the company so you can't neccessarlly trust them anymore) and Solid Gold
- Too much corn or any dyes are not good. It's best to mix your pets food with part dry and tinned dog food. I find dry dog food concentrated and the dog will become more thirsty than usual. I buy good food for my pets (2 dogs and a cat) because fed right there are less vet bills. Just like humans; we are what we eat. Don't forget that water! Your dog should have at least 3 - 4 changes of water per day (and keep an eye on that water dish during the hot months of the season) and for small dogs at least 2 times a day. Some good brands of dry food (also in the tinned wet food) is: IAMS, BENEFIL, SCIENCE DIET. When buying wet food in tins avoid any filtering organs such as liver and kidney. When you see the word "by-product" on any tin this is a generalization of what is in that food and it's best to check on the internet as to the proper ingredients in that product. If in doubt all you have to do is call your vet for more options and there is no charge for this information.
- From a dog trainer: Iams, Beneful, Science Diet are all examples of low quality options. Read labels and learn the warning signs associated with poor quality foods. Some good options are things like Wellness, California Natural, and Innova. I've got an entire article posted on how to read and understand pet food labels at my website (see the Nose Lick link to the right). Typically. If you can find it at a grocery store, stay far away from it.
Another answer
I agree. Absolutely stay away from Science Diet and other commercial brands. Try Wellness, CA Natural, Innova, Nature's Variety, Blue Buffalo. Stay away from all dog foods that have by-products. Also, I highly recommend giving filtered water instead of tap water and do NOT use any topical flea & tick meds. They are highly prone to cause seizures and have recently been thought to be causing all kinds of cancers in dogs and cats.
Answer
Stay away from corn, by-products, wheat, soy, gluten, dye's, and sometimes chicken. Look for foods with lamb, venison, and if you don't want to go grain free look for whole grains like oatmeal, brown rice, and barley. I agree that Wellness, CA natural, and Innova are good foods. Some other good ones would be Natural Balance, Canidae, Taste of the Wild, Solid Gold, and Fromm.
Answer
I believe that Blue Buffalo is definitely the best dog food there is along with Solid Gold. Science Diet is NOT good for your pets because it contains by-broducts and everything stated above. Pedigree, Iams and all the primary foods are horrible. Nutro is okay but i would definatley use Bue Buffalo.
