Feeding
Feeding time is where most cat-and-dog households run into trouble. Dogs are fast, curious, and opportunistic, and cat food is simply too tempting to resist. A little structure around where, when, and how each animal eats keeps mealtimes calm, prevents food theft, and protects the sensitive digestive needs both species have.
What this covers
Separate feeding areas
Using rooms, baby gates, or elevated stations to keep dogs away from cat bowls.
Microchip feeders
Selective feeders that only open for the pet they’re programmed to recognise.
Food storage
Keeping both diets sealed, labelled, and out of reach of the other pet.
Preventing food theft
Routines and barriers that stop a fast dog from finishing a cat’s meal.
Water stations
Placing fresh water where both animals can drink without competing.
