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 them together may cause malnutrition. Cat food contains large amounts of taurine, which is necessary for the growth and development of cats. Although dogs also need to consume taurine, their intake is not as large as that of cats. If a 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 has a different pH value. Cat food that is too acidic will have adverse effects on the dog's bones and cannot be eaten for a long time.

How to choose dog food
