Dogs can eat cat food, but long-term consumption is not recommended. As omnivores, dogs eating cat food once in a while will not have a significant impact on their health. However, due to differences in the physiological habits and physiological structures of cats and dogs, the ingredients of dogs and cats' diets are also very different.

Cat food is generally high in protein, and some salt may be added. If a dog eats cat food for a long time, it may consume too much protein and salt, leading to obesity and putting a burden on joints and internal organs. In addition, excessive salt intake may cause skin, gastrointestinal and kidney problems in dogs.
