no as it is really bad for them and they also contain some small fish bones which get caught in there wind pipe where as cats can digest them more easly

Well...it probably shouldn't...cats diet is much meater that a dogs.... but as a dog can live on catfood..a cat cannot live on a dogfood. Catfood also has more calories per punch...sooooo you could end up with a fat dog.If that is what he likes...try it..and then slowly mix in whatever regular dog food you buy little by little...till eventually he is eating the dog food.As for human food... the greasy McDonald's type food is no good for him or human....but real food..the kind your grandma used to make in the 40's and 50's is very good for him. Remember...dog food is a new invention... its only been around for maybe 60 years. So..knowing that..think about what Fido used to eat... scraps from the table and whatever they could scrounge...and they lived far longer than they do today...the average age being 18-20 years...now we call our dogs old at 12. As said..if what he wants to eat is people food...by all means...carrots and greens are okay for them...onions, apple seeds and graps are no-no's. You want to feed the last of the hamburger or steak scraps to him..go for it.... just remember to stay away from the calorie riddled stuff..bread...french fries... chips...that we as humans really shouldn't be eating. Honestly..if your dog won't eat dog food... maybe he knows something you don't?

I know of someone myself gives their dog, cat food, they have 2 cats, 1 dog, so the dog went for the cats food instead, but I feel, it's safer to keep each type animal, on their own breed of food, as each breed, may have special dietary needs, and this coud possible hurt the pets intestines, also, their are special vitamin needs for each. I think a vet should be consulted on this matter to be safe, for the pets sake.

I have been putting tuna in my dogs dry dog food. I would try that and not give him the cat food any more. Tuna is full of protein too

Would think this should be ok or there would be some type of warning on the cat food package. Why don't you compair the ingredients on the back of the packages to see if there is much difference? Would imagine this would be better than feeding your doggy junk food which many owners do!

Hi ThereI have two shih-zus dogs and three cats. I have never ever bought dog food as both my dogs seem quite happy with cat food, think the like it better as the meat chunks are smaller. They also love cat biscuits fot the same reason. Both my dogs are very healthy and active, so it has not done them any harm whatsoever. Hope this helps.Debs
