Why does Zowie like cat food? I bought a dog food variety pack from Luke's. It came packed with several top brands and different flavors of dog food. I have tried several different foods, but Zowie's favorite is the left over Friskies cat food that the cat left behind. Why does she like the cheap cat food over the good quality dog food? |
I can't really answer your question, because I have a similar issue. My baby Jimi LOVES cat food. (Whether it be wet food, dry food, treats, anything.) I've heard that dogs like cat food because it is higher in protein. To avoid him eating anything I have to keep my cat's food on the counter. :rolleyes: But.. if a piece falls, he is all over it. :drool: |
I know that cat food has more fat content and I would imagine that like human food, fat adds the flavor. |
I think it's because of high protein in cat food. Mine go crazy when we feed the cat (we must feed in different rooms) Here is the stickie with the dangerous foods for yorkies: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...oods-dogs.html |
Had to comment because i found it funny that they do that... i know for a fact my Sharpie eats ANYTHING he can get his hands on..I left him with my mother in law this weekend and she is not that young..well supposedly (i dont know if to believe it or not) She said she dropped one of her Alli Diet pills on the floor and she said sharpie ATE IT!!! I had to keep a close watch on him to make sure he was okay and that it wouldnt have any secondary affect i think it made him poop softer (or so i think) because today he pooped soft...i will have to continue to keep a close eye on him but the point being these pups just eat what ever they can lol :) they seem like they are being starved to death lol |
Dogs have less sugar in their food and cats have a lot (different metabolisms) Dogs always want sugar (hence why they will eat a whole bar of chocolate and your cat won't) You should always try to keep the dogs out of the kitty food, it can cause liver failure if it spikes their sugar too high. I am not trying to scare you in anyway, I just want your dog to be happy and healthy. We recently had a loss in our family due to that. So please for your doggies sake, keep it put away! |
I was told most of the dogs prefer cats foods :p But I wouldn't give cat foods to my furbaby, otherwise she might lose hair! (Not sure why, but this was what vet told) |
