Is it okay if the dog ate a bag of cat food?

Can dogs eat cat food?
Why is my dog more interested in cat food?
It’s okay for medium and large dogs to eat cat food once or twice every now and then.
But I really can’t eat it for a long time.
Dogs can easily gain weight if they eat cat food for a long time, and can also easily cause pancreatitis.
Today I will learn about the dietary structure of cats and dogs and the nutritional content of cat and dog food
I will analyze the specific reasons from these two aspects so that everyone can understand clearly.
By the way, let me tell you why cat food is more expensive and tastes more attractive to dogs.
You may think that there is no difference between cat food and dog food.
In fact, there is a big difference in nutritional content between them
The main difference is the fat and protein content, and another is the taurine content
Cats are carnivorous animals and require a lot of animal protein
The protein and fat content in cat food is much greater than that in dog food
This is also the reason why the taste of cat food is more attractive to dogs, and also the reason why cat food is expensive
Dogs are omnivores. In addition to eating meat, they also need other things.
such as dietary fiber
The reaction of small dogs after eating cat food will be more obvious.
Because of the dramatic fluctuations in fat and protein content,
It is easy to have gastrointestinal sensitivity, vomiting, and diarrhea.
However, large dogs will not have any obvious reaction if they eat cat food once or twice occasionally.
Finally, let’s talk about taurine
This is an important nutrient for cats
Cats may develop heart disease or go blind if they don’t eat enough.
And it can be obtained by dogs through their own transformation,
Therefore, there is no need to add additional taurine to dog food.
In the eyes of cats, dog food is like junk food without nutrition.

Therefore, cats don’t like to eat dog food.

Expansion information:

The owner of the grocery store next door took in a stray dog, and he didn’t know when it strayed to him, so he used this place as his destination.
From autumn to winter, the puppy was able to survive the cold snow some time ago because it had an inch of shelter. It is also because it has been hungry and full, and its small body is skinny. The dog dealers will not care about it if it is thinner.
The puppy has a complicated personality. He is wary of pedestrians, but also wants to please people. He always wags his tail cautiously and keeps aloof from the people coming and going at the entrance of the community.
When the sun is nice, it lies on the iron manhole cover on the sidewalk to keep warm. The manhole cover is warmed by the sun, and it will chase the sun. When the store owner’s car wants to drive out of the parking space, if it is too fast asleep, the adults and mothers sitting at the door to warm themselves up, play cards or chat, will scold it fiercely and in a strong tone, but everyone knows that it is because they are afraid of the little ones. It’s so small that the driver can’t see it rolling.
On the weekends, the guard uncle dried some pieces of meat at the entrance of the yard. The rope was tied a little low. It grabbed the carport pillar and stood on tiptoe, just enough to reach the longest piece of meat. It gnawed cautiously, hiding symbolically from every person who passed by it. Residents in the yard stood a little further away, watching it gnaw happily. The meat was very hard, the angle was tricky, and it was very courageous. He was so small that after chewing the pig for a long time, it was just a superficial wound. After a while, the guard came back and just put out his hand to drive it away. He returned to the reception room and cut off a piece it had chewed and gave it to it without any embarrassment.
The residents in the yard, the owner of the canteen, and some of the card guys playing cards at the door, none of them seriously adopted him, but they were all kind to him. I would sometimes get him some milk and feed him some cat food.
We are all at the bottom, take care of it and make everyone feel that they still have a strong side, and there are even weaker ones who need you!
