Question
My dog at a some of my friends cat food is she gonna get sick? And is it okay if she eats canned chicken in water that we eat?

Answer
She might have some diarrhea or could even vomit it up, but that should be the extent of it. However, canned chicken is not really okay because it's very high in sodium and she shouldn't be eating any human food at all.

Eating table food for dogs creates obese dogs, and can cause very serious diseases such as liver congestion, pancreatitis and gastritis.

Dogs are made to eat the same thing day in and day out- it's how their digestive systems work the best.

Deviate from that and you can cause the above digestive issues. So stick to his regular food and if he eats food that is not of good quality it would be more cost efficient for you to buy his a higher quality food that he will need less of (costing you less in the long run) instead of a cheaper food that he will have to eat more of (thus costing you more) just to get his energy needs met.
