Can cats eat dog snacks?

Cats cannot eat dog snacks. If the instructions on the dog snacks indicate that they can be fed to cats, then the owner can feed the cat an appropriate amount; if the instructions indicate that they are only suitable for dogs, then the owner is not recommended to feed the cat. The nutrients required by cats are different from those required by dogs. Cats should be fed special cat food, canned foods, teething sticks, etc., in order to meet the nutritional needs of cats.

The dangers of cats eating dog snacks

1. If a cat eats dog snacks, it will not have much impact in a small amount, but If you eat a large amount, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea.

2. Feeding cats the same food as dogs for a long time may cause malnutrition and a decrease in their own resistance.
