Commercial dog foods are more heavily loaded with grains and starch than regular cat food<\/strong> and hence your cat may struggle to digest such food. Cat species are generally obligate carnivores that mainly depend on a diet rich in meat protein, fats and amino acids, than canines. And commercial dog foods include less meat, fat and essential amino acids as compared to commercially prepared cat food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possible long-term effects of cat feeding on dog food include signs of illness, lethargy, and poor heart health. And in the worst cases, this practice can cause Kidney disease and Urinary Tract Infections in cats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
