Best Answer

A little dog food once in a while will not hurt the laying hens, however do not substitute dog food for a balanced layer feed.

The layer feed has been formulated to be nutritionally complete and meet the needs of a laying bird with the correct protein, fat and calcium numbers.

A full diet of dogfood will cause problems down the line health wise and especially egg wise since it is not formulated for hens.

Can dog eat hen?

Yes a dog can eat a hen. If you mean that you have live hens & want to know if it is possible that your dog would eat them, then yes. If you want to know if it is safe to feed a cooked hen to a dog, then yes. A hen is a female chicken, so it's not much different than feeding it dog food made from chicken. If you do have live hens, though, it is best that you keep them away from the dog for their safety & well-being. If your dog has already eaten one of your hens, then it should be okay, unless the hen was diseased. If so, the dog needs a vet ASAP. However, if the dog continues to eat the live hens, it can end up contracting salminella or some other kind of bacterial illness which derives from poultry.


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.
