Help! My babies just ate a 2Lb bag of cat food

Okay I was thinking about this. I am assuming you feed a kibble to your dogs. A 8 oz cup is a half a pound, so a full pound would two cups. So 2 pounds would be 4 cups of food. I am pretty sure your huskies would be able to eat 4 cups ( especially the two of them) without too much distress. I would however, as I am sure you already skip dinner, and maybe only half a breakfast if that.
Cat food is higher in protein too, as richer as someone stated. Short of having gastric upset because of a " change in foods" and the higher in protein of the cat food, I would think they should be fine.
How are they today by the way??

I used to have a dog that thought he was a cat. When I called for the cat he came. He loved catfood so much. I finally had to feed the cats in a room with a gate in front of it to keep him out of the catfood!

I would just let them fast today, and watch them carefully. Dogs seem to love catfood for some reason. Maybe they want that fish flavor.

By the way, the catfood never did hurt my dog, but of course, I made him quit eating it before it did hurt him.

Thanks everyone! I went ahead and fasted them yesterday. Thor drank a ton today but had an upset tummy this morning so we only had some rice for breakfast. Sif, who is only six months old, she has the runs today(really bad). I think she is finally over it tonight. We are still working on the potty training so all mishaps today was on the WHITE carpet in the living room. Before anyone ask why I have white carpet it was here when I bought the house and is being ripped out next month. I think the both of them are doing well tonight for the most part.

huskylover- I moved into this house with rust colored carpet, and hated it. It showed not only hair, but dirt and lint as well. I have a darker beige- like a taupe, and love it. Most of my hair is white, so it doesnt show it, and studier than I thought in soil resistant. I do run the vac every day to clean reasons, and that keeps the dirt out of the carpet pile.
As far as cleaning a light run- I like "Simple Solutions" in concentrate forum or "woolite oxy deep". Both do great. Also imodium works on diareah, but you need to call your vet and ask for the dosage as I am not use to thinking that small. Also- since they ate cooked bones, blockage is still a consideration and only your vet can tell for sure..

My dogs have eaten cat food before and it has never hurt them. I think your dogs should be fine.
