    How big is her dog? If its a small dog, that is NOT a good idea. A dog will love the tatste but its not formulated for their bodies. Cat food has a whole lot more fat in it too, which will make hte dog gain weight and not build muscle.

    Now, all that said, Miss Nicki will usually get one teaspoon of cat food a night when I'm giving the cats their treat. I don't like it, but she decided to bark for hours on end at the cat food bowls if she didn't get any herself One teaspoon per night, at 100 pounds.... she's ok. But if she were teacup poodle? Bad idea.

    With my older dogs I sometimes have to encourage their appetites with something that smells a lot. A teaspoon of cat food works well. Half a can with a cup of dog food is a bit much for a steady diet. If she was trying to be sure her dog ate while being kenneled, I can understand that. (Some dogs don't like to eat anywhere but at home). It's still a lot of cat food for the amount of dog food.
