Can my pregnant dog eat cat food if she won't eat dog food?

It's really not good for her. It's not balanced at all, and doesn't meet her nutritional needs for pregnancy. It's quite concerning she is pregnant and won't eat, so I would take her into a vet now to get checked out. Best of luck.

This is not a good idea. Chicken and steak will not be a balanced diet for your dog and the puppies may not develop properly. Try feeding her some good quality puppy food, warm it up in the microwave, canned puppy food may be even better. If she does not eat it, do NOT feed her the chicken and steak as she will then wait always until you feed her that kind of food. It is not a problem if she does not eat for a day, but the next day she will likely be hungry enough to eat the puppy food. Now is the time when the puppies grow exponentially and therefore it is very important to feed her proper dog, best, puppy food.

Please do not feed Lucy a vegetarian diet. Just because you are a vegetarian does not mean she needs to be. Being a vegetarian is a human construct not meant for dogs, and feeding her only vegetarian food can really cause her problems. Especially since she is pregnant. She needs a dog food, I recommend Royal Canin. If she isn't eating, then there is something really wrong and she has to see a vet immediately.

Too much food is harmful, as it leads to obesity. Plus if a food is fatty, it can cause pancreatitis. The best thing to give a dog is an adult dog kibble like Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Iams. When the dog is pregnant or nursing, feed a puppy food for the extra calories, calcium, and protein. I hope this helps!

Just keep offering a variety of things to see what she likes best. It may be a good idea to have her examined by a vet to see if she is sick, anemic, low blood pressure, or having any other medical issues with her pregnancy.

I'm sorry that Ginger is not feeling well. It is concerning that she is not eating well for the past two days. You could try to feed her a mixture of plain boiled chicken and plain white rice to see if this will stimulate her appetite. If she does start eating it and there are no other signs of illness, then I would start to transition her to a puppy food. She should eat puppy food throughout her pregnancy and while she's nursing the puppies. If she still refuses to eat, i do think you need to take her to the veterinarian. They will most likely recommend doing some blood testing and possibly x-rays of her abdomen as there are many things that can cause a decreased appetite. I hope this helps and that Ginger gets feeling better soon!

At this point in her pregnancy, you should feed her kitten food. If she does turn out to not be pregnant, it will not hurt her to feed the kitten food right now. You will feed her this diet until the kittens are weaned and no longer dependent upon her for milk. The dry cat food is just fine for her. Do not give her anything like milk as this may upset her stomach. You should also talk to your veterinarian about deworming her for parasites. Some dewormers are safe to use in pregnancy and others are not so you will want to check what you have available with your local products. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
