you are not suposed to feed the dog a cat food diet, although you cannot tell my dog that. Catfoods have a differnt make up, richer in fatty oils and higher in proteins. There is no harm if they eat it since dogs are by nature scavengers.Human food, if organic and or doesn't contain chemicals are good for your dog. Veggies are the best. it is the chemical additives you need to stay away from.My dog hasn't been ill because of his sneeking in the cat food. I have open feeders and the animals eat all the time. I had asked my vet and she said as long as it isn't all the time and his only main food.Cats should not eat dog food due to the lower fatty oils needed by cats as well as the additive to keep the urinary tracks from becoming infected.

it not a good idea to feed dogs cat food because it does things to their stomochs the best thing is to put a little bit of rich dog food say a spoon ful and try to incourage the pet to eat that if it eats that make a fuss of them and repeat make sure that you have your food first and make sure they can see you eating do not give them chocalate unless dog chocs try this for aweek and this will work remember incourge the pet

no its not really safe. cats can eat dog food but dogs cant eat cat food because of certain things that are put in cat food but human food doesn't necessarily do more harm than good. if you cook a bit of mince up in the morning and put it neatly in the middle of the plate with a tiny tiny bit of parsley on it or just leave it plain in the morning then at night cook him a bit of chicken and that diet will do him the world of good remembering to give him something just a little bit different on a Wednesday of each week then he might be appreciative of Wednesdays as he wont know what he is getting.

I wouldn't recommend it! Dog's have different nutritional needs than cat's do. I was having a problem with one of my dog's, not wanting to eat his dog food either. I took him to the vet to have him checked out and make sure the reason he wasn't eating, wasn't due to a medical problem. The vet said he was healthy, and was just a picky eater. He recommended, that I switch his food to "Royal Canin". The second I opened the bag, he got real excited. I put it down, and he loved it. I have been feeding it to him for a while, and have never had a problem since. It's a good, highly nutritious food, and you can find it in any pet supply store. If you have a Petsmart in your area, you can get it there. It's worth a try! I hope this helps! Good Luck!
