Dog food and cat food cannot be eaten together. The nutritional content and nutritional value of cat food and dog food are very different, and eating together may also cause malnutrition. Cat food contains a lot of taurine, which is necessary for the growth and development of cats. Although dogs also need to consume taurine, the intake is not as great as that of cats. If the dog eats cat food for a long time, it may cause taurine to accumulate and cause poisoning. Cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores. Swapping food can also lead to malnutrition. Cat food is saltier than dog food, and the pH value is also different. Cat food with too high acidity will have adverse effects on the dog's bones and cannot be eaten for a long time.

How to choose dog food

Judging whether dog food is good or bad can be done by looking, smelling, tasting and feeding.

1. Look: the dog food with rougher surface is better dog food, indicating that the dog food that is too smooth may have too high grain content. Good dog food will be darker in color and high in meat content, and lighter in color may be due to low meat content. Regarding the oil content, if you grab it with your hands, you will not feel a lot of oil on your hands, which means that the oil content is moderate.

2. Smell: If the dog food smells very good, there may be some additives added, or there is a strong smell of industrial ingredients, which is not good dog food. Good dog food has a slight meaty aroma.

3. Taste: If the dog food tastes crispy (like potato chips), or the dog food is too hard, it means that the dog food puffing process is not up to standard.

Good dog food has a slight meaty taste, like a compressed biscuit.

4. Hey: Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. It is better to let the dog choose by himself than seeing, smelling, and tasting. You can judge whether a certain dog food is suitable for it by looking at its eyes and poop. If it becomes more, it proves that the dog food may have too much fat or too much salt.
