What should I do if a cat vomits when eating dog food?

Cats are carnivorous animals and need high-protein, high-fat, and low-carb foods to meet their nutritional needs; while dogs are omnivorous animals, whose nutritional needs are different from those of cats. The ingredients contained in dog food are not suitable for cats, such as corn, wheat, soybeans, etc. commonly found in dog food, which is a irritating to the cat's stomach and intestines.

At the same time, cats have relatively fragile digestive system, and eating dog food regularly can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even vomiting. If the cat vomits after eating dog food, the owner should deal with it in time.

First, be careful to check whether the cat has other digestive problems, such as diarrhea. If the cat has only vomited once or twice and has no other abnormal symptoms, there is no need to panic. The owner can first observe the cat's condition to see if it will vomit again.

If the number of vomiting increases, or the cat has other abnormal symptoms, such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc., you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Feed cats some easy-to-digest foods, such as rice soup, boiled egg whites, etc. to ensure that the cats get enough nutrition. Make sure the cat drinks enough water to keep the moisture in the cat's body balanced. Keep the cat calm and rest and avoid strenuous exercise and stimulation to give the cat a chance to rest and recover. If the cat vomits more severely, you can give the cat some medicine to prevent and relieve it.
