There are a couple things to keep in mind though --

Cat food is richer than dog food - so any dog that has a weight problem should not be eating a lot of cat food. It is more fattening than dog food.

The vet did also said - cats should not live on dog food. There are things in cat food that they need - and these things are not found in dog food.

*** So - there is certainly no reason why your dog(s) can't have cat food - and especially occasionally.
