Just another thought from David Forman, the owner of Weruva food, my absolutely favorite cat food, named after his adopted kitties, Webster, Rudy and Vanessa. Oh, and the also have a little rescued Chihuahua, who enjoy Weruva foods very much. Here are David’s comments:
Our cat and dog formulas are pretty much interchangeable for dogs and cats, meaning, cats can eat the dog food and dogs can eat the cat food. The only thing to look out for is the taurine. We add it to the cat food and do not add it to the dog food.
Our dog food is great for all dogs, no matter the size. Our 11 pounder eats it everyday. We are the food of choice of one of the Chihuahua clubs here in NYC. Because the food is so very different, we recommend a very gradual introduction. Our foods contain a higher protein and moisture content that most foods (more meat, no fillers). Cats can transition quite easily, but as with any dog food, we strongly recommend a really slow approach. Our cans last 4 days in the fridge, so we recommend nursing a small 5.5oz dog can over 8 meals or so with a gradual increase from serving to serving to make sure everything is agreeable.
