can cats eat wet dog food

Cats can eat wet dog food in small amounts occasionally without immediate harm, but it is not suitable as a regular diet. Cats are obligate carnivores with specific nutritional needs, such as higher protein, taurine, vitamin A, and niacin, which wet dog food lacks. Long-term feeding of dog food to cats can lead to malnutrition, heart disease, vision problems, and other serious health issues. Occasional small nibbles are generally safe, but feeding wet dog food regularly can cause digestive upset and nutrient deficiencies in cats.
