My first post! My husband and I just rescued a Yorkie from a very unfortunate situation...it's been two weeks and Ginger has changed our lives in the most positive way. We have 3 cats (all rescue) and all have grown to love each other so much that Ginger wants to eat their food! The cats do eat an all natural grain free diet but can their food harm my Yorkie? Ginger has had very regular bowel movements and her vet check-up was perfect. Suggestions and all comments are welcome!

I don't think cat food is good for dogs. When mine get a hold of some it always gives them diarrhea.

Dogs can eat cat food but cats should not eat dog food. Cats need tryasine which dog foodd does not have.

My yorkies get into the cat food and don't have problems with it. Some dogs get diaries due it is from diet change not the actual cat food if that makes sense.
