Title: Why is my cat eating dog biscuits
Post by: angelinajolly on April 17, 2012, 08:14:24 AM
Over the last 2 weeks we have found Rose eating the dog's biscuits, she still eats her own food & looks healthy enough.  Though she is not as active as she was, she used to spend most of the day outside but has now turned into a couch potato.  Could she be lacking some vitamin or other. We feed them whiskas biscuits plus pouches.

 :thanks: Teresa, I rung the vet earlier & they want to give her a check over as she's never done this before.
Our old dog has always had his biscuits down as he is not a greedy dog & just eat's little & often, probs is we sometimes forget to take bowl away.  Worrying though when I asked the girl who answered the phone @ vet's if it would harm Rosie she said no :shocked:

A cat eating too many dog biscuits can go into severe muscle spasm,its to do with an additive which cant remember name of as not slept and brain dead.

A dog can eat all the cat biscuit he wants quite safely as long as it doesnt cause a weight problem.

Dont worry I`m sure all will be fine.
