Puppy stealing cats food

19 10:01:44

Question
My 9 month old Yorki 2-3 time a week manages to eat my grown cats food.They both get Purina foods--I'm just concerned that cat food doesn't have the nutrition of the puppy food--should I be overly concerned?

Answer
ok i see your problem

cat food dosnt have the right nuritions for dogs so you could do this. My three dogs, ranging in ages from 5 to 9, absolutely love their cat food and they have it every day, all day if they want! Its never done them any harm because although it lacks the proper nutrients that are in tinned dog food, they have whatever i eat, roast beef with all the trimmings, fish, stews and i'm still here! They have their own dog biscuit treats throughout the day as well as cat biscuits ( the cats proper pissed off ha ha ) and they have a raw carrot each and broccoli, raw of course. It honestly wont do him any harm at all, in fact you'll probably find that his tastes will change and he'll want the dog food later on. Stop worrying, enjoy his baby months and let him enjoy them too! If its really bothering you, you can get Bob Martin Conditioning Tablets from your pet shop or supermarket
