My dog prefers cat treats. Is it safe or healthy for her to eat them?

Hello! Cats have higher protein and fat requirements, which is why their food is so much tastier than dog food! It's not a good balanced diet for dogs, so I would recommend that Seibella eats at least 80% formulated dog kibble for her nutritional needs to be met. You may want to try a different brand of dog food, or keeping the cat food out of her reach so it is not such a temptation. I hope this helps!

Limit table food as much as possible. It is fine to give a tiny bit as a treat or reward occasionally as long as it does not contain onion or garlic. Cat specific treats can be used as rewards for positive behavior and during play. Again, limit quantities to avoid obesity.

Too much human food adds extra calories a cat doesn't need. In addition, it can make them picky, as they tend to like human food better and then won't eat their cat food. It's fine to give as an occasional treat, but I actually never give my cats human food at all. For a treat for them, I give them Temptations or canned food. I hope this helps!

It is best to let the dog eat only dog food and the nutritional contents and vitamins are greatly different based on their needs. You can try to feed your cat up high, a counter or laundry room, to keep the dog from reaching it or getting to it. If the puppy gets cat food every now and then, it will not cause any harm, but it should not be its sole source of nutrition

While not an ideal main diet, there shouldn't be too much trouble with her eating this many treats, though she may have some mild intestinal upset, just feed her as usual and make sure she has plenty of clean, fresh water. If she does show any signs of illness, refusal to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, get her in to see your vet as soon as possible.

I would say more along the lines of 1-2%. Treats should only be given occasionally, as too many treats leads to obesity. Obesity predisposes pets to many health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pumpkin. An occasional meal of the dog pate should not harm her assuming she is free of any underlying medical conditions. However, she should not eat it longterm. Cat food has an amino acid known as taurine that is essential for cats. This is will be deficient in the dog food. I hope this information helps!
