Hi Val –

There’s really no harm in a dog eating cat food. The concern with a cat eating primarily dog food would be that they may not be consuming enough taurine. Taurine is considered essential for cats and thus cat food must contain a certain level, however it’s considered non-essential for dogs. As long as they’re also eating their own food I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
