My dog does not seem to like his food. He will only nibble at it. But the secound the cats turn around he runs in and eats all their food. I was woundering if it might be okay to just feed him the same food.
It is Dick Van Patten's natural blends Venison and green pea

no the dog should not eat cat food because it is to high in protein and can make a dog fat it also has an ingredient that is only made for cats or the cats will lose there eye sight. So please only feed you dog a good quality dog food

No, you should not. Cat's require higher protein intake than dogs do. Dogs cannot tolerate or breakdown, the high protein content of cat food. It is very bad, for their kidneys and many other things and it is a definite no-no. If your'e having a problem with your dog eating his own food, call your vet and ask him/her to recommend something for him.

Dogs are natural carnivores and do best on a raw meat and bone diet.
Regardless of whether or not it is a cat food the first ingredient is Peas!
Don't feed your carnivorous pets a diet that a human would eat. We are created physiologically different.
Commercial dog and cat foods lead to diabetes, obesity, and kidney failure. Carnivores cannot process carbohydrates the way humans (omnivores) and herbivores can.

Courtney,
My dog will always eat my cats food. He's fine. Dog food is for dogs though, same way for cats. I suggest that you maybe get a different brand of dog food maybe that will have him eat his own food and not the cats. Good luck!

No, you really shouldn't. Cat food is really to rich for a dog, plus dogs and cats have different nutritional needs.
