Serious question Is there a difference between? I don't have a cat or dog

[@monicahinch5755]

@@hugonubario Yes, there is. Cats can only digest certain foods, mostly proteins. Dog food isn't good for them.

This was copied and pasted from a professional Can cats eat dog food? Yes, but only as a short-term, last-resort solution. A stolen snack from the dog’s bowl isn’t a cause for worry. But cats eating dog food on a regular basis can be detrimental to their health and well-being. You should feed a complete, species-specific diet as this will be suitably balanced for your pet. It is often best to feed your pet a diet that has been designed to best support their life-stage as well i.e. kitten, adult or senior.

Why is dog food bad for cats in the long term? Cats and dogs have key differences in their dietary needs. Cats are obligate carnivores which means their diet must consist mostly of meat protein, while dogs are omnivorous. By feeding your cat a diet designed for dogs, they will receive the incorrect balance of nutrients. Long-term this can result in a wide range of health problems such as heart disease, and gastrointestinal problems.

Certain amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) such as taurine and arginine are essential requirements in a cat’s diet. This is because a cat’s body lacks the enzymes to make these amino acids. Taurine deficiency in cats can lead to serious health problems such as blindness or an enlarged heart. The same is not true for dogs as their bodies are able to synthesise taurine, which is why their dietary requirement for taurine is lower.
