Only if your cat hasn't been de-clawed! Dogs and cats have very different nutritional needs and digestive systems. While feeding either on another's food for extended periods is strongly discouraged because the nutritional balance in each is different, the actual food won't hurt them.

Please check FDA's Web site at www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/petfood.html to see if your pet food has been recalled: If your pet food is not listed, the pet food is not affected by the recall and you can continue to feed it to your pets. If your pet shows a sudden onset of symptoms, including loss of appetite, vomiting, or lack of energy, stop feeding the pet food and contact your veterinarian. If the pet food is one of those being recalled, do NOT feed it to your animals.

Sure! There's nothing in there that will harm your cat. However, on a long term basis, you will want to provide more meat in your cat's diet than our dog formulas will give him/her.

It's difficult to say for sure, but usually within a couple of days. The important thing is to monitor your pet closely for signs of lack of energy, loss of appetite, and vomiting. If your pet shows any of these signs, please consult your veterinarian. On March 23, 2007, New York State laboratories reported finding a form of rat poison, aminopterin, in some pet foods. FDA and Cornell University have not been able to confirm the presence of aminopterin in samples they have tested.

Animal Rescue Center does not accept stray animals unless they are injured. All stray animals should be taken to your local Animal Care & Control so that their owners have an opportunity to find them.

You can always visit your vet to have tests done, but for self evaluation, you can ask yourself does my pet scratch too much, have hot spots, severe reaction to insect bites, hyperactivity, lethargy, diarrhea, and does it vomit? These are just some of the possible signs of allergies. If your pet has allergies, then you should consider feeding good, natural foods and consult your vet for professional help. You may want to read the part on assisting allergies again.

Even if the pet is not showing any symptoms of impaired renal function, take them to the vet for a routine examination, blood work and urine tests. Early diagnosis and treatment of melamine toxicity has increased the survival rate of afflicted pets. Many pets that seem perfectly healthy have shown to be affected by the melamine as their blood chemistry and urine were not within normal parameters.

Dogs and cats each have special dietary needs and should be fed the appropriate pet food. Cats should not eat dog food because it does not provide all the essential nutrients a healthy cat needs. In short, dog food is designed to meet the nutritional needs of a dog and cat food is designed to meet the needs of a cat. The ingredients in pet food are listed in descending order by weight from largest to smallest.

Cats require more meat and fewer vegetables to meet their nutritional requirements. Our cat food varieties are more expensive to make, so cost a little more than the dog food varieties.

Several of the components of White Bites treats are white in color, including Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate), Calcium carbonate, and the white food coloring Titanium Dioxide. Other ingredients in the White Bites treats (such as Wheat Gluten and Sodium Caseinate) are light colored. All of these combined can lighten the color of your dog's stools. This is perfectly natural and safe, however, as all of the ingredients used in White Bites treats are considered safe for humans and animals.

Cats and dogs have unique nutritional needs and should be fed a product designed specifically for their needs. Health problems can occur from not feeding a 100% complete and balanced product.

Cats need taurine for good vision, which is one good reason you should not feed your cat dog food. A cat fed exclusively with dog food can go blind.

Meat that is cooked above 120 degrees F loses its natural digestive enzymes as well as some of the important fragile amino acids such as Taurine. The preventative health benefits of an uncooked, balanced, raw meat diet can be seen in the testimonials of AFS customers.

Most of our animals are NOT good for your pets as they may be a choking hazard from the eyes and noses and the chemical treatment used in the glues. We strongly suggest keeping them up and out of the way of all domestic animals as the fur is something they will certainly want to either lick clean or eat as part of their nature. If the fur is swallowed there is very little danger as most will be excreted naturally.

I'm not aware of any evidence that spaying or neutering would put a PKD positive cat at any more risk than any other cat, unless the cat was already in kidney failure. However, since certain anesthesia agents can be nephrotoxic, in my opinion it would be best not to use these agents in any cat with known kidney problems, including PKD. quot;I cannot see how spaying would have any effect, positive or negative, on the progression of PKD.

If ingested, make sure the pieces pass in the pet's bowel movement. If nothing passes within 24-48 hours or the animal seems uncomfortable, contact your vet and let them know of the incident.

It is quite likely, especially if your greyhound is very thin, that he has not been fed properly in the past and is anxious to eat as much as possible in case he does not get fed again for some time. Feeding the dogs at opposites ends of the room, or even in separate rooms, is a good idea, and feeding times should always be supervised until the newcomer realises that he is always going to have enough to eat and will never have to go hungry again.

Whilst badgers are classed as carnivores, they actually eat a fair amount of plant material (bulbs, tubers, funghi, nuts, grains, etc). Cat-food includes at least some meat (a cat can not live for long unless it has some meat). Any-one who says they have a vegetarian cat is mistreating it! Dog-food generally does include meat, although a dog can exist on a meat-free diet with carefully controlled monitoring.

Corn is a whole grain frequently found in cat food formulas. The feline digestive system can better utilize corn, and corn also delivers important dietary benefits to cats and kittens, which is why it is one of the primary ingredients in Flint River Ranch cat food formulas. Corn is, however, more difficult to digest by dogs (as well as humans) and can cause allergic reactions in some dogs.

This depends on the individual dog and what you want to add. I do not recommend adding other pet food to the Burns but home-made food especially vegetables may be acceptable. If a health problem is present more care is needed and the diet may need to be controlled strictly. If there is a possibility of underlying food intolerance it is important to restrict the number of different components of the diet.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that high levels of protein are not harmful to the older dog or cat. In fact, it has been shown that older dogs and cats should not be fed low protein diets, as protein is critical to ensure the maintenance of muscle, hair and the immune system. Reduced protein can result in reduced lean body muscle mass and reduced immune response.

If the hair that is swallowed collects in the stomach or intestines and develops into a mass, it may be difficult for your cat to eliminate it. Frequent brushing and hairball remedy will help prevent the problem.
