Puppies are sick and cannot eat cat food. Puppies are in a stage of rapid growth and development, and sick puppies are relatively weak, so they need to be given the nutrients they need and the ratio of nutrients must be balanced. Since puppies are omnivores and cats are carnivores, the ratio of cat food does not meet the growth and development needs of puppies. Long-term ingestion can cause malnutrition in puppies. It is generally recommended that the dog food for the corresponding stage should be fed according to the age of the puppy.

The dangers of long-term cat food eating for puppies:

1. Cats’ ability to digest carbohydrates is very different from that of dogs, so these two types of food The materials used are fundamentally different. Cats that eat dog food or low-protein food for a long time will suffer from urinary system diseases or kidney and liver diseases.

2. Dogs and cats have different nutritional needs. Cat food is specially formulated according to the needs of cats. It has a high content of animal protein, and dogs tend to gain weight after ingesting it. Taurine is also added to cat food, and the fiber content in cat food is low, which can cause indigestion symptoms in dogs.

3. Cats’ demand for protein and fat intake is higher than the demand for these substances in dogs’ bodies. Therefore, cat food has a higher protein content. In addition, cats’ bodies cannot produce taurine, while dogs’ bodies have no requirements for taurine content. Therefore, cat food contains a large amount of taurine, which makes it difficult for dogs to use it for a long time.
