How to stop a cat from eating dog food? General Dog Discussions
I put this question on here earlier and I got a lot more lecturing than actual answers, so I'm doing this to try again, with more details.My cat, a male domestic longhair, has taken a sudden interest in my dogs food. My dog (a male beagle) is really picky when it comes to food and only eats a little bit at random times. Because of this, we have to free feed him. We've tried feeding him at certain times, and he hardly ate anything and lost a lot of weight (he was thin to begin with). So then we tried to put the bowl up on a raised platform, but he's too little to reach.I know that dog food is very unhealthy for cats, seeing how cats require more protein, vitamin A, and need amino acids for eye health and fur growth, so filling up on my dogs food is bad. They're both fed blue Buffalo (obviously dog food for the.dog and cat food for the cat) because its the only one I could find with real ingredients and not corn byproduct. (Plus my vet approves).So without the lectures that I must be feeding them bad food, or have a badly trained dog, can anyone help me?Thanks in advance, and I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes. I'm writing this on my phone.
