Can my Kitten Eat Dog Food?

by Dr. Lauren Brickman

Q: Is it okay that my kitten prefers my dogs' food to her own kitten food? I feed my dogs good food and they are healthy, but I also want her to be healthy.

Dogs and cats should not eat diets that are not specifically formulated for their individual species. I think once in a while it wouldn't hurt them. GAR Labs

I have a small dog nursing orphan kittens. The kittens are starting to be curious about the food dish. Should I give the dog kitten food so the kittens can learn to start eating it, or dog food.
