Cat food, dog food, what’s the difference? In households where there are both cats and dogs sometimes the food is shared, even if not on purpose. If you’re in one of these households you may want to pay closer attention to what the pets are eating.
There is a difference between the two foods and not eating the right food could cause problems for your kitty. Dogs are omnivores while cats are obligate carnivores so their food is made differently to fit their needs.
Whether you’re buying organic cat food or natural dog food, it’s important to feed the cat food to the cats and the dog food to the dogs. Dog food contains a lot of grain and is deficient in things like taurine and arachidonic acid. A lack of taurine in your cat’s diet can lead to blindness or heart and lung problems.
So you can see how important it is to feed your kitty the proper food.
