Help Dog eating cat food
Any suggestions for how to stop an 11-year-old eskimo/poodle mix who
insists on eating the new kitten's cat food? Training methods? Bowl placement? Special feeding devices? -- CRAIG BAILEY 67 Union St. #2D, Winooski, Vt. 05404-1948 USA www.floydianslip.com | 802.655.1197 |

Bowl placement? Special feeding devices? Absolutely. Move the cat food where the dog can't get it. To the dog anything it finds that is edible is "his". We have a special counter in our kitchen where we feed cats. We don't prepare our own food on this counter, but that is the cat's counter. The dogs don't go there and they don't eat the cat food. There really is no other way, and you know, cat food isn't formulated for dogs, and it is probably not good for your dog to just keep on eating anything anytime. Better just move the bowl. -- Best Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox') -- CRAIG BAILEY 67 Union St. #2D, Winooski, Vt. 05404-1948 USA www.floydianslip.com | 802.655.1197 |

I believe dogs will always go for catfood since it has a higher protein content than dog food. I'm not sure if this is the why of it all, but I do know that every dog that can will go after cat food and that it's not necessarily good for em. Just move the cat food to a level or location the cat can get to but the dog can't, and the problem is easily rectified. Best Regards, -- Todd H. http://www.toddh.net/ |
