| Do you think? I could make food for my Dogs and just add or subtract a little to give to the cats? |

| well both NEED to be supplemented . And from what I can see- looking at Dr. Pitcairn's guide to healthy cats and dogs- there isn't much difference. I haven't read it cover to cover regarding cats but they seem to eat the same protien sources and both need similar supplements. HOpefully someone else can come and shed more light. |

| Cats diets are usually higher in protein and fat. They also must be supplemented with taurine. Dogs can be but cats have to be.

As with any homemade diet, I just think it is so much easier and safer to have a nutritionist create the recipe so there are no worries. To the OP: I'm sure you can use the same kinds of foods and just portion it differently...
