My dog will eat the cat food, my cats won't touch the dog food. Actually, I don't mind the catts not eating dog food, becasue they need differnt nutrition. There is stuff in cat food that they have to have, and I think it makes the cat food too rich for dogs.<br><b>References : </b><br> Even small dog kibbles are different than the ones made for cats - not just the ingredients (which is really important), but the texture and the smell too.

If you leave the cat food bowl on the floor the dog will go after it before it goes for the dog food. Cat food is higher quality ingredients than dog food, and dogs know this because after they try cat food they think it tastes better. Cats usually won't eat the dog food if it is on the floor because of the same reasons. They know the cat food tastes better as well. Here is a solution to keep the dog from eating the cat's food. Put the cat food bowl up on the counter top where the dog can't reach it. Only the cat can jump up there, and the cat won't go near the dogs food bowl on the floor.<br><b>References : </b><br>Experience They know, especially dogs.

This may cause a different smell and taste to the food. also cats have an inability to produce tartarine, which requires that pet food manufactures provide an amount of this in there diet. this is not hte same for dogs, if you ask your vet they will advise you not to feed your cat dog food, due to this fact. discuss this further with your vet at your next appointment.<br><b>References : </b><br>Animal care Specialist The formulation of pet foods requires that cat foods have different combinations of ingredients.

I've fed my cat dog food and although she wasn't too keen on it, she ate it. I think it's to do with the density and bulk of the meat. If I mash the dog food for her she eats it. The dog just eats!!!<br><b>References : </b><br> They don’t is the simple answer. I’ve fed my cat dog food and although she wasn’t too keen on it, she ate it.
