Question
My young dog prefers cat food to dog food.  He is about 5 months old.  Will feeding him cat food be harmful to him?

Answer
Hello Marie -

The cat food will not harm at all. In fact, cat food has more nutritional value and has a higher level of fiber which is good for intestinal and digestive health.

Not to worry, if he likes the cat food continue with it. If he begins to "meow" you will know where it's coming from!

I hope this information has helped you and your pet.
