Now I dont think its that big of a deal ... because im pretty sure its just about the same byproducts
however ....
My cat will eat her food and then eat the dog food ...
How many times should I fill the bowls up each day,
And if it isnt that big of a deal ...
why not just buy dog food and both the cat and dog can eat it???
Cat and dog food is different or should be. Cats are carnivores and dogs are herbivores. Which means that cats need a lot more meat than dogs do, which is not how a lot of commercial pet food companies make their products. If your cat is eating more dog food you should supplement his diet with meats ...
In the case of diet, it is important to realize a cat's nutritional requirements are much different than those of a dog. For example, cats require higher levels of protein than dogs. Cats must have the amino acid called 'taurine' in their diet; dogs can actually make their own taurine. A cat eating food deficient in taurine can develop severe heart disease and other health problems. Almost all cat foods now contain added taurine.

Cats require a different form of Vitamin A than dogs do. Dogs can use beta-carotene as a source of Vitamin A; cats cannot. Cats can not manufacture the fatty acid called 'arachidonic acid' and must have it supplemented in their diet; it is not essential for dogs to have this fatty acid in their food.
So, you see, if a cat is allowed to eat a significant amount of dog food, the cat would be eating a diet deficient in many of the cat's required nutrients. For your cat's health, be sure she is eating quality cat food.
