The amount of food provided will change depending on the age weight and activity level of your cat along with what youre feeding them dry or wet food and whether their pregnant or lactating or spayed or neutered. Think of canned food as hosing down your cats bladder several times a day. Dog food doesnt offer these nutrients and may cause malnutrition and health problems in your cat.
Feeding recommendations are required on all cat food packaging but they dont all look the same. If youre one of them then avoid giving dog food to your cat or vice versa. If your cat doesnt seem to be eating all of the food youre putting out twice a day that is an indication youre either over feeding at those times or they dont require two feeding times.
